The Saxzi cocktail menu

Two heroes, four signatures, twelve classics

Two hero serves, one per Saxzi gin. Four signature builds we recommend to bars across Europe. Plus the canonical classics, recipes intact, that round out the menu. They are also our personal favorites which we from time to time proudly offer guests in our homes, and it's with great pleasure we share the full recipes here.

Tier 1 — Hero serves

One per gin. The Saxzi G&T showcases Saxzi One. The Saxzi Colada showcases Saxzi Sun. If you only try two, try these.
