SAOCO PUNCH- created by Laki Kane

This was the most popular cocktail at our July edition and is returning in August.

This clarified milk punch is packed with tropical fruit flavours but with the silkiness of mouthfeel you expect with a milk punch. Created by Coupette one of the worlds most highly regarded bars.
30ml Belvedere Vodka, 20ml sour strawberry cordial, 10ml mango liqueur, 50ml mango juice, 50ml milk, 20ml lemon juice
Flavour specialists Silverleaf are well known in industry circles for their focus on bringing out clean and pure flavours with interesting combinations and this drink is the perfect summer sipper.

We were fascinated to hear how Arcade Bar (and indeed all the bars in the highly successful JKS Group) make every cordial, shrub and flavour enhancer in their own bars to ensure completely unique and authentic recipes. This seemingly simply cocktail involves a huge amount of work behind the scenes to create a drink packed with flavour.
