King's Refuge cocktail recipe

Refuge recipes: King’s Refuge

Manchester is about to come into full bloom, as the city prepares to host its first public event of 2021, The Manchester Flower Show. We thought we’d get in on the act with a cocktail, and our team chose the King’s Refuge.

As sustainability’s the key word on everyone’s lips, we thought it was time for a bit of ‘grow your own’ action. With gardens typically adorned by flowers and plants, there’s something to be said for planting something you can cook with: herbs! So plant yourself an edible garden – then you can supply your very own garnish of super fresh rosemary (and maybe some ginger from last night’s curry) to our King’s Refuge cocktail.
