There's 3 things that really matter to get your drinks right: Your ice must be at 0 celsius: it should have liquid water on the surface Your ice should be in cubes, not chips or crushed And it - [The One Bottle Cocktail](https://daisydrinks.ddev.site/the-one-bottle-cocktail/) - When you ordered a G&T in the before times, you would be presented with a long list of gins & tonic by your mustachioed mixologist, all served in balloon glasses with ever more ridiculous amounts of delicately tweezed and coiffured garnishes. We'd built up a mystique around preparing cocktails, calling ourselves mixologists and posting artful - [Beer Cocktails](https://daisydrinks.ddev.site/beer-cocktails/) - You probably thought I'd forgotten about this, or at least transferred my allegiance to Vittles (hi, new subscribers!), but in fact the dearth of content has been us moving between drinking seasons. In winter we can rely on the heavy stirred brown drinks to sip huddled against the radiator, and in spring the zingy sours - [Infuser? I hardly know her](https://daisydrinks.ddev.site/infuser-i-hardly-know-her/) - I remember a night working at Off Broadway in Hackney, many years ago, where an off duty bartender had brought in a shitake mushroom infused sweet vermouth that he was so proud of. He was begging us to put it into a Manhattan, so I did, and I am grateful to him for the idea, because I can - [On Fortified Wine](https://daisydrinks.ddev.site/on-fortified-wine/) - As we ease into another futile bank holiday, eagerly waiting for permission from Boris to step outside, there's a delicious shortcut to feeling summery: fortified wines. It's not a wine with a moat and some fancy crenellations, but rather wine that's been given a bit of a lift with some spirits and sugar, and in - [On Effervescence](https://daisydrinks.ddev.site/on-effervescence/) - Effervescence is such a delightful word. Say it with me. It's not just onomatoepeic, it's something more, it captures the feeling of opening that can or bottle, slowly pouring it and the _tingle_ of those bubbles on your tongue. Truly, fizzy pop is a joy. There are some fizzy drinks, though, when mixed with hard liquor become more - [Bloody Marys and Espresso Martinis](https://daisydrinks.ddev.site/bloody-marys-and-espresso-martinis/) - As usual, before we get into this, let's go and make sure our ice trays are full. We're going to discuss two of my least favourite cocktails today; the Bloody Mary and the Espresso Martini. I find these super difficult, not because they're necessarily _bad_ drinks, but because, along with the mojito, they're the cocktails - [Sours, shrubs & syrups](https://daisydrinks.ddev.site/sours-shrubs-syrups/) - I've fallen behind in sending these, sorry, but a reminder that you can also see me doing video tutorials over at https://instagram.com/manhattansproject. Here's a bumper edition to make up for it. Before we begin, fill up your ice trays! Sours Sour is a wonderful word. Say it now, quietly, under your breath. Imagine the sharp - [Batches & Cookies](https://daisydrinks.ddev.site/331-2/) - You know the drill, empty your ice trays and refill. Can't be doing with warm drinks. Well, we're officially locked down. Smart and attractive folk like the readers of this newsletter have probably been doing this for at least a week, so I hope your routines aren't too affected and your doom spirals have been - [Good times, strong drinks and social distances](https://daisydrinks.ddev.site/good-times-strong-drinks-and-social-distances/) - Do the ice thing. Fill your ice trays, empty any ice you have into tupperware. You know the drill. We've been advised to keep a distance of 2m from everyone in public, and the government has belatedly advised people to stay away from pubs, bars, restaurants and theatres (without ordering them to close, and without - [The Stockpile](https://daisydrinks.ddev.site/the-stockpile/) - The Stockpile Before we get started, and I will always tell you to do this, go and top up the ice in your freezer. If the trays are full, put that ice in a tupperware and refill the trays. You can never have enough ice. How seriously do I take this? I have a 45kg/day Hoshizaki - [Hello world!](https://daisydrinks.ddev.site/hello-world-2/) - [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Praesent sed ex vel mauris eleifend mollis.

Let us know and we'll make sure you're only on one list!) We've been at our little corner of Morning Lane for a while now, and we're starting to feel like part of the neighbourhood. We've poured countless Champagne Daiquiri's, pounded a lot of shots and generally done - [Residency News](https://daisydrinks.ddev.site/residency-news/) - Our residency at Pond Dalston is coming to a close soon. We've had a fantastic time working with the restaurant, and it's been a great 6 months (including our first full December full of company events!). We're going to be creating the summer menu for Pond's exciting new BBQ and poke dishes, and we've got some - [Miniatures Night!](https://daisydrinks.ddev.site/miniatures-night/) - Next tuesday we're hosting a very fun night with one of our pals, Emma Stokes (AKA Gin Monkey).

On Friday 13th February, we're partnering with the brilliant Kit Lovelace for another Romantic Misadventures night at Bohemia Hackney. Expect filthy stories, terrifying denouements and heartbreaking tales of romantic incompetence. Once again, the menu will focus on reclaiming terrible 80's drinks and awful puns. We'll - [The Tahona Society](https://daisydrinks.ddev.site/the-tahona-society/) - I competed in the Tahona Society UK heats a couple of weeks ago, and the hangover has just subsided enough for me to announce here that I was the winner. It was an amazing day and the quality of drinks was incredible, so I'm really shocked and so happy. As this picture definitely shows. Thanks - [The Cucumber Sandwich](https://daisydrinks.ddev.site/the-cucumber-sandwich/) - Yesterday I competed in the Martin Millers gin 'Tastemakers' competition; it was a really excellent day and the quality of drinks from everyone was unbelievable. Our entry was a 'Cucumber Sandwich Martini', and as it's a bit of a weird one I thought it'd be good to share the recipe. You're going to need; A - [Valentines Day with Moshi Moshi & Manhattans Project](https://daisydrinks.ddev.site/valentines-day-with-moshi-moshi-manhattans-project/) - The Manhattans Project and Moshi Moshi present a Valentines evening to remember; join us for four courses of exquisite Japanese food, matched with cocktails curated by the Manhattans Project.

Thursday night at Bohemia in Hackney and it's been so much fun. Keep coming down and admiring my beautiful ice! I've been chastised for not putting the menus on the website, though, so here goes. Comment if you want the recipe for any of these drinks. Week 11 Week - [Smoke And Flowers](https://daisydrinks.ddev.site/smoke-and-flowers/) - We had a little play with this drink on thursday night and I thought I'd knock one up at home for Burns Night and share the recipe with y'all. Nice and simple, but the most important thing here is a delicious and smoky scotch; Ardbeg, Laphroigh, Caol Ila, Talisker or even Port Charlotte should all - [Bohemia #4](https://daisydrinks.ddev.site/bohemia-4/) - Here's the menu for this week's (05/12) Manhattans Project at Bohemia. Thoughts are turning to delicious winter cocktails for December and we'll be bringing back the Cold Buttered Rum which regulars will remember... - [The Old Fashioned](https://daisydrinks.ddev.site/the-old-fashioned/) - Origin myths are funny things. The cocktail has more of them than I can count, and most bartenders have their favourite. I used to be of the school that believed in the story whereby Antoine Peychaud would serve Sazerac cognac with his eponymous bitters in eggcups, or, in french, 'coquetel', and this was bastardised to - [Jockey Full of Bourbon](https://daisydrinks.ddev.site/jockey-full-of-bourbon/) - At rather short notice, we'll be hosting a couple of nights in the basement of the Crimson Heart in Shoreditch (google maps). The space is a lovely homely cafe at the moment, and if you've followed our licensing travails, where we hope(d) to open a permanent home for Manhattans Project. So, this Friday and Saturday - [The Little Hook](https://daisydrinks.ddev.site/30/) - Following a Manhattans management retreat to Whitstable last weekend (oysters on the seafront, board meeting in the hot tub) we're back in town and getting ready for the weekend. While we were away we did a bit of riffing on the menu and the result was The Little Hook. Somewhere between a Red Hook and - [Summer times](https://daisydrinks.ddev.site/summer-times/) - That's right, I'm going to rescue the reputation of the Pina Colada in my first post. What?! Here's how it goes. The only thing that's coming out of a bottle is the rum. Fresh pineapple, fresh coconut, fresh lime. That's it. No cream. No coconut milk. Please, again, no cream. You're not going to make - [Simple southern pleasures](https://daisydrinks.ddev.site/simple-southern-pleasures/) - ''Any guy who'd put rye in a mint julep and crush the leaves would put scorpions in a baby's bed.'' Irvin S Cobb A nice simple southern drink for the summery days (especially this humidity London does so well). As the esteemed Mr Cobb notes, the key here is treating your mint well; a - [Stirred, never shaken](https://daisydrinks.ddev.site/stirred-never-shaken/) - Time to talk about gin. And why the G&T is not just a cocktail, but a masterful cocktail. Cocktails are a simple thing, really; pretty much every time (there are exceptions, of course), you're trying to balance 4 flavour directions; sweet & sour flavours, and strong & weak flavours. The gin and tonic is one - [On The Negroni](https://daisydrinks.ddev.site/on-the-negroni/) - There's a bunch of different families of drinks out there that have a lot in common...often you just swap out your base spirit and you've got a different cocktail; collins, sours, rickeys, flips, swizzles and so on. But there's also what I like to think of as the bigger drink genuses, where we're just looking - [Welcome to the Manhattans Project](https://daisydrinks.ddev.site/hello-world/) - Welcome to the Manhattans Project.

It's different from a blog post because it will stay in one place and will show up in your site navigation (in most themes). Most people start with an About page that introduces them to potential site visitors. It might say something like this: Hi there! I'm a bike messenger ## Products - [Hay Cooler](https://daisydrinks.ddev.site/product/hay-cooler/) - We gently steep organic hay, meadowsweet and sweet woodruff in mineral water and add sugar and dry acidity to make a very bucolic cordial, then add Beefeater gin and mineral water 150ml / 14.2% ABV - [Lychee Story](https://daisydrinks.ddev.site/product/lychee-story/) - One of our favourite wines is a nice off-dry Riesling, so we made a cocktail about it – raw sugar and tartaric acid for the perfect balance, ultrasonically infused Thai basil Sapling vodka, lychee liqueurs and a light fizz. 150ml / 14% ABV - [Champagne Daiquiri](https://daisydrinks.ddev.site/product/champagne-daiquiri/) - This all starts out with our Champagne Acid – the same dry acidity profile as a certain French wine, but bumped to the level of a lime juice. We round that out with fruit sugar and some aromatics, add a good amount of Mount Gay rum and carbonate into our little cans. 150ml / 15.2% - [Green Chilli Margarita](https://daisydrinks.ddev.site/product/green-chilli-margarita/) - We infuse our own green chilli liqueur with fresh jalapenos, then mix with 100% Agave tequila, our house ‘lime’ acid and a touch of agave syrup and smoked salt to balance it all out. 150ml / 18% ABV - [Build Your Own 4 Pack](https://daisydrinks.ddev.site/product/build-your-own-4-pack/) - Pick and choose from the 4 flavours to put together your perfect cocktail menu at home. - [Cocktail Cans Mixed 4 Pack](https://daisydrinks.ddev.site/product/cocktail-cans-mixed-4-pack/) - One of each of our delicious cocktail cans. ## Categories - [Uncategorized](https://daisydrinks.ddev.site/category/uncategorized/) ## Product categories - [Cocktail Packs](https://daisydrinks.ddev.site/product-category/cocktail-packs/)
