Cheers Mate

What's inside

Cheers Mate is built for home pouring. Clean method, short ingredient lists, no bartender jargon. Recipes are grouped so you can find what suits the night, from a casual beer-garden afternoon to a proper dinner party finisher.

• The essentials every home bar should have on hand
• Gin, whisky, rum, vodka, tequila and agave, each with their classics
• Long drinks and short sippers, for different moods and different weather
• Dessert and after-dinner cocktails when the meal ran long
• Non-alcoholic options that still feel like a drink
• Simple syrups, infusions, and garnishes to lift any pour

Why it pairs with a veggie garden

Fresh mint, basil, rosemary, lemon, lime, chilli, and cucumber make almost any cocktail better. If you grow them, you've already got half of a good cocktail menu in the backyard. The herbs section of the Planting Season plant library covers most of what Cheers Mate asks for.
