Pearl Diver Cocktails & Oysters

A refined seasonal milk punch that brings together some of Alex Boon’s favourite flavours in an elegant and unexpected way. Ford’s Gin and Amontillado Sherry provide a complex botanical and nutty foundation, complemented by the bright acidity of verjuice and the rich citrus character of lacto-fermented blood orange syrup. Mandarin whey adds a silky texture and subtle creaminess, creating a beautifully balanced cocktail with layers of fresh citrus, savoury depth, and gentle complexity. Served over ice and finished with a mandarin gel segment garnish, it delivers a smooth and sophisticated drinking experience.

Seasonal Milk Punch using flavours I absolutely love in unique ways.
