Bath and Bottle, a cocktail bar in Douglas, is helping Crossroads Care mark their 25th year of caring on the island with a new addition to their cocktail menu.
The Quarter Century Spritz, a mix of prosecco, Apple Orphanage Bramley apple juice, elderflower liqueur, cucumber, mint and topped Peychaud’s Bitters will be on the menu May 27 until the end of August with 50p from every Quarter Century Spritz sold donated to Crossroads.
Laura Gill, marketing coordinator at Bath and Bottle, said: ‘We love a cause for celebration and we couldn’t wait to create a drink with which to toast 25 years of such a hard working charity. We worked with the idea of celebration, so something sparkling. We also wanted something light, refreshing and in keeping with the season so that everyone could enjoy it. There are also some local Manx flavours used in there to tie in Crossroads strong links to the community.’
Alex Wilson, fundraiser at Crossroads Care, said: ‘I was fortunate enough to try the Quarter Century Spritz before it was on the menu and after I did I couldn’t wait for it to be available so I could have another. The team at Bath and Bottle have come up with the perfect, moreish summer drink that will leave you sipping through the warm summer days and into the wee hours.’
The Quarter Century Spritz will be available from the end of May for three months at Bath and Bottle, 6 Victoria Street, Douglas. Donations for the charity are also being accepted at 14 North on North Quay, Douglas, throughout this time.
