Ocean-inspired cocktails: mixology with a splash of the Scottish sea
Cocktails that are making waves…
Welcome to an extraordinary world of mixology where the flavours of the ocean meet the art of exquisitely crafted cocktails. At Dulse, we take pride in our signature seafood-inspired cocktails that transport your taste buds to the shores of Scotland.
In this blog post, we invite you to dive into the depths of our innovative creations, featuring unique ingredients like seaweed-infused spirits, briny garnishes, and ocean-inspired flavours that harmoniously complement our delectable seafood dishes on offer or are perfect on their own too!
Captivating the Senses with Seaweed-Infused Spirits
At the heart of our ocean-inspired cocktail experience lies the intriguing infusion of seaweed-infused spirits. Immerse yourself in the essence of the sea as we artfully infuse Lunun Gin with carefully selected dulse seaweed, unlocking an umami depth that perfectly complements the flavours of our seafood-focused menu.
Briny Garnishes: Elevating Cocktails with a Coastal Twist
We believe that attention to detail is what sets our seafood-inspired cocktails apart. Our mixologists expertly adorn drinks with briny garnishes, adding an extra layer of complexity and a node to our beautiful shores.
Take the iconic Dulse Martini, for example. This is made using Lunun Gin infused with our namesake seaweed, then finished with caviar. A classic serve, but make it Dulse.
Many of our cocktails are further improved with the use of a Blackthorn Sea Salt saline solution. Not to be underestimated, it is one of the most transformative ingredients for a beverage. Think of this as a seasoning for your drink.
A Symphony of Ocean-Inspired Flavours
Prepare to embark on a sensory journey as we introduce you to the symphony of ocean-inspired flavours that pop within our cocktail creations. The clarified Bloody Mary with oyster juice and seabuckthorn, accompanied by a Scottish oyster, will take you on this adventure.
Pairing the Perfect Catch: Cocktails and Seafood
In our pursuit of the ultimate dining experience, we have carefully crafted our seafood-inspired cocktails to harmonise flawlessly with our exceptional seafood dishes. The delicate balance of flavours, textures, and aromas in our coastal cocktails are meticulously designed to complement and enhance the natural qualities of our seafood.
Whether you're enjoying a bowl of oysters or a lobster thermidor, our bartenders have thoughtfully created cocktails that enhance the dining experience, elevating every bite and sip to new heights of culinary pleasure.
At Dulse, our ocean-inspired cocktails are more than just beverages; they are a celebration of Scotland’s shores and a testament to the artistry of mixology. With seaweed-infused spirits, briny garnishes, and ocean-inspired flavours, many of our cocktails offer a sensory voyage that perfectly complements our seafood-focused menu.
Don’t worry though. We also offer a range of sweeter options too, if ocean-inspired drinks isn’t your thing.
The Dulse bar is open late seven nights a week. Join us on this enchanting journey and indulge in the harmonious marriage of the ocean's treasures and the craft of cocktail making. Head to our bookings page and try some out for yourself.
