The decorations are up, the drinks are ready and the Old Fashioned has even dressed for the occasion. 🎃

We’re open tonight, so if you fancy a Halloween drink without the tricks, you know where to find us.

See you at the bar 🥃

Yes, we’re talking about refill boxes again. We appreciate they’re less photogenic than a Martini.

But what happens behind the bar matters just as much to us as what ends up in your glass. Choosing spirits we love, from people thinking carefully about how they’re made and packaged, is part of that.

Our 58&Co gin and vodka bottles get topped up and put back to work. Less glass passing through the recycling bin, more use from what we already have.

From repurposing ingredients to rethinking packaging and working with like-minded suppliers, reducing waste is part of how we run Tom Thumb every day.

There’s always more we can do. So we’ll keep at it.

Until next time…🍸

Two weeks ago today, we kicked off our 10th birthday weekend and we’re still enjoying the photos that are far too good to leave in the camera roll.

So here are a few more moments from three very full days of drinks, music, familiar faces and celebrations.

Still slightly recovering. Still very glad we did it. Open from 3pm daily all weekend.

Until next time…🍸

The weather’s turned (boooo) which feels like an excellent excuse for this one (yay).

Our Cinnamon Excess brings together Discarded Spirits Banana Peel Rum, tea, lemon and that signature cinnamon leftover from our friends Da Bara Bakery IQ

Finished with a homemade, delicate biscuit, it’s the sort of cocktail made for settling in at the bar while the weather does whatever it will outside.

See you at the bar 🍂

Tom Thumb Signatures: Cherry Street 🍒

After being introduced a couple of years back, the Cherry Street earned its place as a Tom Thumb signature.

Cherry Street brings together Lot 40 Rye Wh***ey, cherry liqueur, Suze apéritif and sultana extract. It’s rich and fruity at first, with spice and bitterness coming through underneath.

The result is woody, smooth and bittersweet. A slow sipper, and a very good one at that.

If you tend to head straight for an Old Fashioned or Manhattan, this might be the one to try next.

Until next time…🥃

What makes a Sour a Sour? 🍋

The basic formula is pretty simple: spirit, citrus and sugar. Add egg white and you get that silky texture and foamy top we all know and love.

Jamie explained it to Debs (novice) in the simplest fashion…a brilliantly simple formula, manipulated to however you like your drink:

Spirit + citrus + sugar.

Examples: Wh***ey with bourbon or rye. Amaretto takes it in a sweeter, nuttier direction. Vodka keeps things clean and bright (pictured). And our Paloma Sour takes those familiar Paloma grapefruit flavours and gives them the sour treatment.

Then you can start playing with fruit, syrups, herbs, liqueurs and bitters and take that same basic structure in pretty much any direction you like.

Our Foragers Sour does exactly that, bringing together bergamot vodka, fig leaf, elderflower, gorse and citrus for something smooth, floral and a little more unusual.

Different drinks. Same balancing act: strong, sour and sweet.

We’ve got a few takes on the Sour behind the bar. Come and find your favourite. 🍸

There’s something about this one that feels like summer in Cornwall.

Our Foragers Sour brings together Portobello Road Vodka , fig leaf, elderflower, gorse and citrus into something smooth, floral and quietly complex. We reckon it’s this summers underdog. And a firm favourite behind the bar.

Inspired by the flavours growing around us, it’s a cocktail that rewards slowing down and savouring every sip.

Available while it lasts.

See you at the bar.
