The Galah

A bold tropical cooler from Down Under that pairs the brooding depth of dark rum with Campari's bitter edge and the lush sweetness of crème de banane, lifted by a generous surge of pineapple and bright lime.

From the Bartender

120ml of undiluted lime juice is far too aggressive and would overwhelm the drink - 30ml of freshly squeezed lime juice is the correct balance against the volume of pineapple juice and the sweetness of crème de banane. Always use fresh lime, never bottled, for the cleanest citrus lift.

Planter's Punch
Dark rum

Planter's Punch

A lush tropical symphony where rich, molasses-forward dark rum meets the sweet-nutty embrace of orgeat, lifted by bright orange and tart pineapple juice into a refreshing, sun-soaked finish with warming spice from the bitters float.

Jungle Bird
Blackstrap Rum

Jungle Bird

Rich, tropical, and boldly bittersweet, with deep molasses and dark fruit from the Blackstrap rum colliding beautifully with Campari's herbal bitterness, lifted by bright pineapple acidity and a sharp citrus finish.

Bahama Mama
Dark Rum

Bahama Mama

Pineapple and coconut up front, citrus keeping it honest, and dark molasses rum underneath giving it far more backbone than the colour suggests.

Banana Daiquiri
White Rum

Banana Daiquiri

Ripe, creamy banana sweetness meets the bright snap of fresh lime, carried by the gentle warmth of white rum and balanced with just a touch of syrupy richness. The finish is refreshingly tart and tropical, with a smooth, silky texture that lingers pleasantly on the palate.
