8. Hotline Bling- Since Drake released this song it has been requested almost every night at The Piano Works!
Hennessey based cocktail mixed with lime sorbet, Gomme syrup and fresh raspberries was inspired by Drakes rider and love for Cognac.

A wild blend of Bombay Sapphire, Sauza Platta tequila, orange and mint infused sugars, honey and lime juice, garnished with ginger, ground almonds and to walk-walk that fashion baby we have of course added edible silver pearls darling!
"Ro mah ro-mah-mah Want your bad romance"
6. Proud Mary - Inspired by her rider, the legend must have a sweet tooth as she never goes on tour without chocolate milk, peanut butter and jam. A smooth blend of Finlandia vodka, Amaretto, double cream, crème de Cacao white, honey, peanut butter and coffee. Garnished with marshmallows and crushed Maryland cookies.
Big wheel keep on turnin' and Proud Mary keep on flowin’ You’ll be rollin', rollin', rollin' on to the dance floor!
5. Hey Jude- a song that never fails to bring everyone together to sing at the top of their lungs!
British gin and forest berries based cocktail that represents our home grown local talent, The Beatles.

The Beatles fact - Paul McCartney originally titled the song "Hey Jules". The change to "Jude" was inspired by the character "Jud" in the musical Oklahoma!
