The Joker

Last week I was kindly invited down to @the.joker.brighton to try some of their summer cocktails which I was very excited about as I’ve previous had them and they have been great!

We sat downstairs in the main bar but there is a cocktail bar upstairs that can be used for private hire too which is really lovely. The menu only has ten cocktails on but you can order on request too if you wish for those who have their favourites!

The cocktails we tried were: Seaside Sour @bloodybens Signature Gin, Spring Herb Syrup, Blue Spirulina, Lemon, Saline Banana Negroni 58 Gin, Discarded Banana Peel Rum, Vermouth, Banana Liqueur, Nut bitters Lady In The Lake Absinthe Rinse, Violet & Lychee Liqueur, 58 Gin, Pineapple Raspberry Margarita Olmecà Altos Plata, Tequila, Raspberries, Lime, Agave

We enjoyed all of them but my favourite was definitely Lady In The Lake- if you like Violets then this is the cocktail for you. I also really enjoyed the Banana Negroni which I wasn’t expecting but the Banana Peel Rum was delicious and it was a very interesting take of the classic cocktail

All the cocktails looked beautiful too and came out presented the way I would expect a high end cocktail bar to present them so was really impressed with this!

Definitely worth a try if you are in the area. Lovely atmosphere and cocktails are great! Thanks for the invite guys, will definitely be back!

I was invited to try this one. As always, all opinions are my own.
