THE STORY BEHIND THE COCKTAIL NAME
This cocktail is a full stop at the end of the long love affair I had with a gin bar. When completing my last shift after 2 years of ups and downs, having learned my trade there and taught it to others, I finally moved on for good. This cocktail embodies the class, elegance, and simplicity of the bar and of Sipsmith London Dry. This cocktail is my Swan Song.

I'm using a bar-top chalkboard to advertise the drink in the bar, as well as both myself and my bars social media posting the drink. I'm waiting to hear back about a potential radio spot as well on Hauraki or George fm. My instagram is @thenewman8r and the bar is @bedfordballers.
