// Settle down!! It’s called ‘Dry July’, not ‘Boring July’. So in the name of lifting the ‘spirits’ of the self-imposed-dispirited amongst us, we’re giving the community its very own menu. This ain’t no token gesture, friends. Packed full of Lime’s classic cocktail derivatives, our bountiful No! Alc. Beverage List means you don’t need to stick to waters to partake in the festivities.
To the bar!

// Liv has been busy in the lab shaking her beakers about in the name of Auckland Cocktail Week and casually impressing Dwayne Johnson. And hellooo dolly, our resident scientist has concocted a stunner. Behold! The ‘Bastard Sunrise’, our twist on a beloved classic. Fruity/retro cocktail choreography with a high kick enough to launch you into the sunset. Best you come see for yourself...
Cheers to our amigos Hancocks Family Merchants Teremana Tequila and (sigh) Dwaaaaayne.
Here until 25th July - To the bar!

// I’m supposed to be in the office smashing out some changes to the drinks list, but the day is a total keeper so I got out there and caught some Vit.D rays. Of course I had to do a stalky drive by the bar to see whats up. Of COURSE I got stuck behind a bus, and OF COURSE I GOT BUSTED. I am remiss in my duties. Apologies. The new list will be out soon.
To the bar!

// What did we do with the approximately 1 nice day summer has delivered us so far? We took FIELD TRIP. Cheers to the excellent bar staff on our ferry trip, who delivered us, primed and prepped for our expedition into cullenery delights. In the words of Max Verstappen - “Simply lovely”. 5-stars for Ono’s facials.
To the bar!

// you’d be hard pressed to not be feeling all festive with rays of sunlight vs your bottle of Modelo, mirror balling the hell out of that refreshing Rhubarb Gimlet sitting alongside. It’s the little things, people. Brief moments where you note to self - ‘you know what, she’ll indeed be right’. Press on and enjoy this sun!
To the bar.
