Bourbon, but make it velvety 🥃

The Gold Rush brings together the rich warmth of Bulleit Bourbon and spiced honey, perfectly balanced by tart lemon and a silky egg white foam. Topped with a hint of cinnamon, it’s basically golden hour in a glass 🤩

There will be a specially crafted cocktail menu for the evening, with some classics and some prohibition themed specials for you to sit back, enjoy the jazz and sip on. So, put on your sequins and get ready for a roaring party night! Oh, and you’ll need a password to get in…
