Silver Lyan

Grey Goose, ATOM mulberry, rainwater madeira, tomato honey, Champagne

^{A rich and elegant sipper employing one of our fave (very bonkers) Lyan techniques to build in complexity in honour of Jonas Hanway, the frst man in London to own the latest fancy fashion – his umbrella. We know his name because the umbrella offended his fellow Londoners so much they pelted him with rotten veg. He was especially hated by Hackney carriage cab drivers, who saw his accessory as a threat to rainy-day business; the divisive Uber of the 1700s.}

Poppy Fords gin, calamansi cordial, chanko nabe of sake, sandalwood, lychee

^{American sailors in the 1800s started getting tattoos to make it harder for the British Navy to (literally steal them and) force them into service, and the love affair between sailors and ink is still going strong. A gently savoury gimlet teasing out citrus, spice and richness in tribute to creative problem-solving –e.g. why not just gain a tonne of weight to dodge the draft?}

Sour apple, lingonberry, Shaoxing wine punsch, Ocho Plata, sunshine

^{The relationship between cities and skateboarders is often marked with confict, with local governments resistant to the ways in which skaters and other youths reimagine urban environments. Not so for Love Park architect Edmund Bacon, who at 93 years old (slowly) shredded his way through his famous landmark in defence of skaters' rights. The original Love Park is in Malmö now, but this sunny, zippy sour is still here for you.}

Wine, sort of – of blueberry tea, burnt vanilla, white fowers, apple, cedar: Crooked Run fermented

^{Trousers – who gets to wear them, and how long they should be – have been shockingly divisive for the last thousand years. From Joan of Arc being burned at the stake for wearing pants to John Fetterman's cargo shorts resulting in the Senate's frst dress code, we have created a "wine" layered with bright aromatics in honour of the most contentious garment of all. Try it short or long!}

^{Shorts: bitter on the rocks with Hendrick's gin}

^{Pants: Long and spritzy with Champagne}

Żubrówka, hemp milk, green pea and melon honey, pastis, fig leaf, citrus

^{Broadcast and social media are so afraid of female-presenting nipples that TV drag shows censor the queens' nipples when they're in makeup. A plush, herbaceous tribute to the "free the nipple" campaigns of the last few decades and the activists who've made strides for the equal right to go topless.}

Hot cold red wine, pineapple Banhez mezcal, celery seed, cacao and coffee leaf soda

^{Food and drink are so essential to how we view ourselves and our cultures that it's no surprise feelings about how things should be served can get heated. Whether it's pineapple on pizza, a Chicago dog with ketchup, or a cappuccino after noon that gets you hot under the collar, this dry, bubbly refresher should help cool things down.}

Teeling Irish whiskey, beet & adzuki garum, maple cream, myrtle sugar, lemon

^{Want to predict the next recession? Check how much money dancers are making. Strippers and sex workers have been an economic bellwether for so long that historians of wild west ghost towns track what years a mine was successful by which courtesans were in town. For another unexpected barometer, see the Waffle House Index. A decadent whisky sour for the good times and the bad.}

Patrón reposado, pawpaw amazake, cornflake fro-yo, white cacao absinthe, Silver pepper mix

^{Research into what psychologists call the "forbidden fruit effect" indicates that the harder you try to ban something, the more desirable it becomes. There’s just something so alluring about something out of reach; especially when you know that’s the sweetest berry. You can’t have this delicious, complex frozen cocktail… don’t even think about ordering one!}

Maker's Mark, embalmed jackfruit, Silver snake oil, rhubarb bitters

^{At the same time as Europeans were colonising the world and accusing people they invaded of being cannibals, doctors all over Europe were prescribing ground-up mummies as "medicine" – the literal consumption of human fesh. No people were harmed in the making of this tropical Old-Fashioned, inspired by the snake oils and other quack medicines of a mostly-bygone era.}

Fermented apple, Laurent-Perrier Champagne, rust vermouth, banana brandy, blood foam

^{Drugs in sports have a bad reputation, but not every performance enhanced athlete actually gets a leg up in the expected way. Taking inspiration from blood doping, the catastrophic 1904 Olympic Marathon, and Dock Ellis' famous LSD-powered perfect game, a mix of orchard fruit & Champs for all the would-be champs who tried a shortcut.}

Talisker, barley miso, sea buckthorn and huckleberry vermouth, pinecone bitters

^{Pre-medieval superstition in many parts of Europe forbade saying the word for "bear" out loud because obvs it might make one show up; as a result the original word is lost in many languages in favour of the euphemisms that replaced it. A bright, smoky after-dinner drink shaped by how superstitions affect our lives – whether it's bears, matches, or Ancient Egyptian pregnancy tests.}
