Three bespoke cocktails have been developed for Darnley’s View by world-renowned mixologist Jason Scott, owner of the award-winning Edinburgh bars Bramble and The Last Word Saloon. The cocktails aim to bring out the natural flavours of the key botanicals in Darnley’s View, especially the citrus and elderflower.
