Simple serves

  • Fox and tonic

    30ml Quick Brown Fox, ice, top with tonic water.

    The Fox and tonic is a refreshing, low alc serve that is a welcome change to the gin and tonic. We recommend East Imperial Yuzu Tonic as citrus and coffee work together harmoniously.

    Pro-tip: pour the tonic into an angled glass, and slowly to avoid excess froth.

  • Foxy old fashioned

    60ml bourbon, 30ml Quick Brown Fox, bitters

    In a mixing jug add 60ml bourbon, 30ml Quick Brown Fox, ice and 2 dashes bitters (we recommend Woodford reserve bourbon and chocolate bitters).

    Stir for around 30 seconds, to chill and dilute the liquid. Strain into glass over ice. Perfectly garnished with a cut cherry.

    Pro-tip: make it a Revolver using orange bitters and an orange peel garnish.

  • Salted Caramel Sipper

    45ml Quick Brown Fox, 45ml Frangelico, salt

    In a mixing jug add Quick Brown Fox, Frangelico and a pinch of salt. Add ice.

    Stir until the salt is dissolved and strain into chilled cup.

    Pro-tip: this cocktail can be made in larger quantities and stored away in a bottle or decanter.

  • QBF Tim Tam Slam

    30ml Quick Brown Fox

    30ml dark creme de cacao

    Hot frothy milk

    Add all ingredients to a cup or mug. Bite the opposite corners off a Tim Tam, and suck the hot, boozy mixture up, and then slam the whole Tim Tam in one go!

  • Brown Oat

    30ml Quick Brown Fox, 20ml Cold Brew Concentrate, ice, oat milk

    A simple coffee-forward cocktail that is a twist on the Brown Cow, which is just coffee liqueur and milk.

    Build in a glass: 30ml Quick Brown Fox, 20ml Harpoon Cold Brew Concentrate, ice, top with oat milk. Stir and enjoy.

  • Fox and cola

    30ml Quick Brown Fox, ice, top with cola

    This cocktail is a light and simple version of a Black Russian. We recommend East Imperial Kima Kola as it’s less sweet and more complex than traditional cola.

    Pro-tip: pour the cola into an angled glass, and slowly to avoid excess froth. To make a Black Russian, simply add 30ml vodka to the existing drink.
