Beagle - cream of the crop due to this being a favourite weekend brunch spot of ours ... 'Go Bananas' with the tequila based concoction charged with a homemade pineapple cordial and pomelo soda.

Satan's Whiskers: give into temptation with the 'Silver Pineapple' - Havana Club 3yo, fresh pineapple and lime juices and topped with white wine.
