Jack's Drift Cocktail Recipes
The Serves
Jack's Drift was made to drink neat. Room temperature, no fuss. But it makes strong arguments for itself in a glass with ice, in a shaker, over soda. These four serves were built around the spirit's character: the Citra hop brightness, the bergamot, the plum, the rum oak underneath. Not cocktail-guide recipes. Starting points.
All recipes use Jack's Drift, the Devon botanical spirit.
Bright, Aromatic, Decadent
The Dorian Grey
Earl Grey syrup, lemon, bitters. Bright and a little dangerous in formal glassware.

The Fender Bender. Sent in by the skipper of SV Quick Return. Made with Wild Nettle Fizz and a rosemary sprig. There's one on the crew page. Yours could be next.
Start with the spirit
Every recipe on this page is built around Jack's Drift. Made like gin. Drinks like whisky. Cask-finished and vapour-infused on the Devon coast. Harder to place than any spirit you've met, and worth the effort.
