The Ivy on the Square has released a limited-edition cocktail menu in collaboration with The Garden Shed Drinks Company to celebrate the return of the Six Nations rugby tournament!
The six cocktails – one representing each participating country – will be available at the city centre brasserie throughout the duration of the Six Nations, from Friday, 1 February to Saturday, 16 March.
Created in collaboration with The Garden Shed Drinks Company, an environmentally-friendly business co-founded by Scottish Rugby professional Ruaridh Jackson and former Scottish international player Ryan Grant. Using their signature Garden Shed Gin and their newly released limited edition Côte-Rôtie Aged Gin, which is the first of its kind, each cocktail has a distinctly national flavour.
Scotland and Ireland’s cocktails are both inspired by their Celtic heritage with a new twist on two classic drinks, a Penicillin and an Irish Derby. The Scottish Thistle (priced at £9.75) is a warming blend of Côte-Rôtie Aged Gin and Naked Grouse whisky with ginger, lemon and honey, while Ireland’s Irish Clover (priced at £11.25) mixes Côte-Rôtie Aged Gin, Redbreast whisky, Antica Formula and whisky barrel bitters.
The Garden Shed Drinks Company’s signature gin is used to make England’s refreshing English Rose (priced at £8.75), along with other quintessentially English ingredients including Pimms, cucumber and elderflower cordial. The Ivy on the Square’s Welsh Daffodil cocktail (priced at £9.50), also uses Garden Shed Gin, shaken with sloe gin, lemon juice, lavender syrup and egg white.
Jetting off to the continent without leaving Edinburgh, customers will also be able to enjoy cocktails inspired by France and Italy during the Six Nations. The French Iris (priced at £11.75) is based on a classic French 75, whilst the Italian Lily (priced at £10.95) completes the line-up with a delicious blend of Côte-Rôtie Aged Gin, Barolo Chinato vermouth, Campari and whisky barrel bitters.
