2. Waffle on the rocks
Description: waffle flavoured vodka | St. Germain elderflower liquor | Drambuie scotch | lime cordial | maple syrup. Stirred down and served over a chunk of ice. The comfort and nostalgia of a fluffy, maple-drizzled waffle, served with a side of vodka. Note: The whim and wonder of the brand’s iconic namesake ingredient – the waffle – into a cocktail. The experience begins with the rich and comforting aromatics of maple syrup, inviting the nostalgia of childhood and fun and cosy mornings with family and friends into a medium-bodied libation that can be enjoyed any time of the day.

3. Ristretto Negroni
Description: Bombay Sapphire gin | Campari | Martini Rubino vermouth | 24hr coffee slow drip. Stirred down and served over a chunk of ice. The classic Negroni, with a kick... Note: The Negroni is the quintessential aperitif cocktail. Coffee, the quintessential digestive. This is a combination of the two. The balance of bigger, sweet, robustness is a marriage. One of our signature cocktails and perfect choice for negroni lover. Photo: Ming Tang-Evans
4. Tropic of Conversation
Description: passion fruit liqueur | pineapple | triple sec | Champagne. Shaken and topped with bubbles. Fruit-forward with ripe sweetness – an easy-sipping tipple. Note: Before the Mimosa - there existed the bubblier Bucks Fizz. Duck & Waffle is upping the ante of this easy-sipping, 100-year-old brunch favourite with a more tropical toast that includes passion fruit liqueur, pineapple and triple sec. Photo: Third Party
