Unusual cocktails in Glasgow and where to find them
It's no secret that Glasgow has an amazing variety of bars. If you're looking for something exciting, you're in the right place! Here are our top five unusual cocktails and where to find them.
Bubble bath - The Alchemist
This cocktail is a fun blend of gin, Aperol, violette, blueberry, citrus and fairy liquid. It has a sweet taste, replicating that of a classic Parma violet sweet. The cocktail is served in a coupe cocktail glass, allowing you to see its dark purple colour while bubbles overflow at the rim. Not to mention this cocktail has an interactive element, letting you pour the drink yourself and witnessing the inflation of bubbles.
Swiftie- Slug and Lettuce
This cocktail is inspired by pop star Taylor Swift and served in the most unique cup; a shiny mirror ball with a cowboy hat. This represents the singer's most recent world tour which embraced the same aesthetic. This drink consists of Smirnoff mango and passion fruit twist along with vanilla syrup, prosecco and lemonade.

If you have a sweet tooth then this is definitely a must try. Head to Bucks Bar to find a cocktail inspired by the classic ice lolly. The best part? A small sized real twister ice lolly garnishes the top of the drink. This tasty option mixes Smirnoff raspberry vodka, lime juice, pineapple juice, sugar syrup, raspberry puree and refreshing lemon liquor.
4. T&T- The Alchemist
For the next one, we are returning to The Alchemist to acknowledge one of their most theatrical drinks. t&t has a unique red colour as well as loads of glitter in a successful attempt to resemble a stick of dynamite. But the real appeal comes from its interactive element: staff will hand you a lighter and ask you to light a string coming out of the drink which creates a quick flash of fire. This cocktail is made up from tonic, pink grapefruit, tequila and magic fire.
5. Snapple pop- The Spiritualist
Last but not least, we introduce Snapple pop which stands out for its use of dry ice to create a smoky, enchanting experience. Its fruity and crisp taste comes from ingredients of apple juice, gin, apricot liqueur, lemon and apple syrup.
So, what are you waiting for? Go and treat yourself to a date night or girls night full of Instagramable drinks which also taste amazing.
