Cocktail inspiration from The Blind Pig
Lots of British children’s books seem to feature drinks. Everybody knows the Hunny Pot of Winnie the Pooh but we and probably a lot of people in the Netherlands, never heard of Mr. Tumnus Tipple The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. Although the Rabbit’s Remedy from Peter Rabbit and the Lost & Found from Paddington Bear sound familiar. We found the ingredients of the Hunny Pot in an article at The Nudge, it seems to combine rum, salted butter, mead, honey, apple brandy and orange bitters. They also serve butterbeer on tap from the books of Harry Potter and they serve cocktails in the Dream Jars from Roald Dahl’s The Big Friendly Giant. Check out their entire cocktail menu here.
The Blind Pig is a hidden Soho speakeasy run by the people at Jason Atherton’s Social Eating House, located at 58 Poland Street, London.
