To celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, mixologist Freddy May has created a special twist on the UK’s trending Espresso Martini cocktail, presented with an edible cocktail topper, inspired by Her Majesty’s love of both whisky and Scotland

The Scots Guards Whisky Espresso Martini is a delicious celebratory drink that has been named after the iconic British Army regiment, who famously guard Buckingham Palace and perform the Trooping of the Colour on the Queen’s official birthday.

Freddy says, “I’ve been making delicious and interesting drinks with Drambuie Honeyed Liqueur for many years. During that time, I’ve come to realise this unique spirit comes alive when we embrace its generous butterscotch aromas and rich texture. Drambuie is a luxurious treat fit for royalty, but best shared celebrating with friends and loved ones.”
