14 A true legend of drag, the embodiment of high camp, Danny graced countless theatres over their 60+ year-long career, not to mention numerous TV and film appearances. Danny was one of the most glamorous drag performers the world had seen, with marabou feather plumage to rival that of any Vegas showgirl and costumes fit for a big- budget Tinseltown musical. This classic Vodka Cranberry has an unusual zing of lime juice and a feathery soft frothy top created by adding an egg white at the mixing stage. Finally, for even more glamour and camp, it is adorned with a vibrant maraschino cherry. 25ml (5/6fl oz) vodka 25ml (5/6fl oz) lime juice 50ml (12/3fl oz) cranberry juice 1 egg white To serve Maraschino cherry Pour the vodka, lime juice, cranberry juice and egg white into a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake vigorously for 20 seconds. Strain into a chilled coupette glass and top with a maraschino cherry to serve. THE SHOWGIRL INSPIRED BY DANNY LA RUE INGREDIENTS METHOD19 Lawrence Chaney is much like the Loch Ness Monster… a Scottish legend. Making their debut on the Glaswegian drag scene, Lawrence quickly became one of Scotland’s rising stars of drag, cementing this by winning the crown on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, season 2. We couldn’t just serve you Vodka and Irn-Bru, so we decided to roll with Lawrence’s signature colour purple and fun personality to form this big, bold, beautiful beverage that’ll make you want to say bing, bang, bong! 50ml (12/3fl oz) vodka 25ml (5/6fl oz) blue Curaçao 100ml (31/3fl oz) cranberry juice 25ml (5/6fl oz) juice from a jar of maraschino cherries Lemonade, to top up To serve Maraschino cherry METHOD INGREDIENTS Pour the vodka, blue Curaçao, cranberry juice and maraschino cherry juice into a hurricane glass full of ice and stir. Top up with lemonade and finish with a maraschino cherry to serve. QUEEN OF SCOTS INSPIRED BY LAWRENCE CHANEY26 This absolutely stunning, out-of-this-world drag icon of Manchester, and internationally renowned Sims obsessive is never seen without her manicured Marigolds, and very rarely without her signature specs. But it’s Juno’s uniqueness, off-kilter wit, and 1960s wardrobe that makes her stand out from the crowd… Okay, maybe it’s the blue skin too. When trying to embody an alien drag queen who is trying to blend in with the human race (but failing miserably) into a cocktail, we decided to take the classic Gin and Lemonade and make it stick out like a sore thumb – by turning it blue and pink. 15ml (1/2fl oz) blue Curaçao 100ml (31/3fl oz) lemonade 25ml (5/6fl oz) pink gin To serve Maraschino cherry METHOD INGREDIENTS Pour the blue Curaçao and lemonade into a rocks glass full of ice and mix well. Top up with the pink gin and finish with a maraschino cherry to serve. ABSOLUTELY ALIEN INSPIRED BY JUNO BIRCH44 She was scone too soon from her season of Drag Race UK, but she came back to slay on Canada vs the World! Victoria Scone is the first AFAB queen to be cast on any franchise of RuPaul’s Drag Race, and she proves it doesn’t matter what’s between your legs; any gender identity can be a drag queen… just make sure you have Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve and Talent! This cocktail leans into Victoria’s very British chosen surname, with lashings of cream and an abundance of strawberry flavours that accompany a scone so well, taking the concept of cream tea to the next level! 25ml (5/6fl oz) rum 25ml (5/6fl oz) Irish cream liqueur (liquor) 12.5ml (2/5fl oz) strawberry syrup 1 scoop of strawberry ice cream To serve Whipped cream Sliced strawberries METHOD Put the rum, Irish cream liqueur (liquor), strawberry syrup and strawberry ice cream in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour the mix into a rocks glass and top with whipped cream. Finish with sliced strawberries to serve. AFTERNOON TEA INSPIRED BY VICTORIA SCONE INGREDIENTSNext >
