Our second cocktail designed and presented for this years East Anglian Game & Country Fair at the Euston Hall Estate.
We were delighted to be back for our second year, with our theme for 2025 as
'Staycation, the garden club'
Easy cocktail recipes for you to create and batch at home, perfect for something different for your guests when hosting with little work on the day.
Before lockdown, our company L.A Mixology was all about creating cocktail menus and training bar teams across East Anglia — bringing creativity and craft to a whole range of venues. L.A Mixology is still going strong today. We’ve helped business owners launch their own bars, connected them with trusted suppliers, and advised on everything from station layout to stock choices. And of course, we’re still shaking things up for restaurants, bars, and now weddings too, with cocktail table favours and pop-up bars.
L.A Mixology now proudly includes our own two bars — TipsyJar and J. Doe & Co — each offering a unique experience, both built on over a decade of hands-on experience in the world of bartending and bar operations.
This next recipe takes it back to the classic Pimm’s — a reminder that sometimes, the old favourites still do it best.
