Welcome to Hawkins Cocktails List
The Upsidedown Cocktail
This cocktail is a vibrant study in contrasts, leading with a whimsical, nostalgic sweetness that feels like a trip to a high-end candy shop. The experience begins at the glass’s edge, where a tacky marshmallow and strawberry syrup rim provides a pillowy, sugary landing for the palate against the tart crunch of dried raspberries and blueberries. As you sip through the velvety foam, the initial hit is a bright, electric zip of lemon and lime juice. This sharp citrus “snap” immediately cuts through the sugar, creating a refreshing, mouth-watering sensation that balances the drink’s playful exterior.
Once the citrus subsides, the profile settles into a sophisticated “berry bomb” complexity driven by the Pimm’s Sundowner and rich Cassis de Dijon. These spirits offer a concentrated, jammy profile of redcurrant and blackcurrant, while the cranberry juice adds a subtle, dry astringency that keeps the flavours grounded. The addition of lemonade provides a light, effervescent lift, turning the dense fruit syrups into a crisp, sparkling infusion. It finishes with a clean, botanical fruitiness, leaving a lingering trail of tart summer berries and soft, creamy marshmallow..
The Demogorgon
The Demogorgon is an otherworldly blend that leans into a “dark botanical” aesthetic, playing with deep floral aromatics and sun-drenched fruit. The first impression is dominated by the haunting, perfume-like essence of Violet Liqueur and Violet Syrup, which gives the drink a sophisticated “Parma Violet” candy profile. This floral intensity is immediately anchored by the tropical, creamy undertones of Strawberry Malibu, creating a unique hybrid of candied berries and forest blossoms. It’s a moody, striking drink that feels both mysterious and unapologetically sweet, perfectly capturing a sense of the “Upside Down” in a glass.
On the palate, the heavy floral notes are sharply contested by a bright, punchy hit of Lime Juice, which provides the necessary acidity to keep the syrups in check. The Pomegranate Syrup adds a layer of tart, tannic complexity and a deep crimson depth that swirls through the violet base, while the Sugar Syrup ensures a silky, viscous mouthfeel. The finish is a lingering mix of tropical coconut and sharp berry, leaving you with a clean yet floral aftertaste. It’s a bold, complex cocktail that balances its monstrously sweet ingredients with a sharp, refreshing edge.
