][1]As winter tightens its frosty fingers around the land, the 5pm Dining blog is pleased to see that at least one of Edinburgh’s bars and restaurants is trying to keep us all healthy by encouraging us to eat our greens.
The recently launched Bothy Restaurant and Drinkery at The Murrayfield House Hotel has bolstered its drinks offer with a new range of Garden Garnish cocktails.
Cuke and mint Martini
Their bar tenders have come up with the bright idea of dressing cocktails with freshly picked ingredients. The selection currently includes the gin-based Cucumber and Mint Martini; a vodka-infused Blueberry and Basil concoction and the indulgent Pear and Rosemary Sparkle, topped with a splash of Prosecco.
Stand out
General Manager at The Bothy Restaurant and Drinkery, Colin Brand, said: ‘Edinburgh is renowned for its numerous cocktail bars, so we wanted to do something a bit different in order to stand out from the crowd and give our customers an original experience.
‘At The Murrayfield Hotel we strive to use fresh, locally sourced ingredients and what could be fresher than our garden garnishes?’
Naturally, being a health-conscious lot, 5pm blog readers will see the new Garden Garnish cocktails as a fun way to keep their vitamin levels topped up. Should you need any further reasons to visit The Bothy Restaurant and Drinkery then check out their 5pm offers.
