TRY out the new cocktails on the NQ block. You will be impressed.
The Pen And Pencil have put together an impressive selection of drinks which look good and most certainly taste good. Every member of the team has a different favourite – that's how delicious these tipples are.
With fourteen cocktails to try, between you and your friends, you'll taste them all. From the floral Oriental notes of the Cucumber And Sake Martini to the multi-layered complexity of the Manchester Minute with its flavours of mezcal, vermouth and maraschino, which will be your favourite?
Many of the cocktails are inspired by Mad Men. Like the flavours themselves, the links are subtle rather than sledgehammer. Which references can you pick out? Even if the answer is none, the cocktails are still rather fine.
The prize is three cocktails each for up to six people. The perfect opportunity to sip your way around a cocktail list that takes you from sweet and delicate to fruity and tropical to powerful and smoky and back again.
It's not just the drinks on the menu that will appeal; the menu itself is a work of art. Literally. Inspired by the Mad Men ad men, The Pen And Pencil took to twitter to ask folks for their most iconic Manchester ad. NY artist Dyna Moe has put her Mad Men spin on the chosen adverts – a perfect fusion of NY 50s style and Manchester charm.
Just like the cocktails.
