KNIGHTOR COCKTAILS
Our bar team are incredibly passionate about Knightor wines and vermouth - they know it better than anyone and have in most cases, taken the grapes from harvest, to bottling, to glass themselves.  Here are a few of our favourite recipes of classic cocktails and new blends, from celebratory toasts to detox mocktails, there's a drink for any event. ​What will you be mixing up?

Knightor Negroni

Fresh, fruity and packed with punch, these Negroni's are so easy to create, yet give so much in return!
