Left to right: very cherry fling, bringing sexy back & peanut nutter

Soul’s new cocktails are just the tonic for the inclement weather ahead — these are our go-to orders

Few places offer vibes as consistently lively as Viaduct Harbour stalwart, Soul. With a food menu that runs the gamut from light and refreshing to comforting and hearty, a drinks menu that always inspires indulgence, and the exceptional, consistently warm service of Liv Carter and her team, no matter what you’re in for, you know its always a good time at Soul.

Soul’s peanut nutter

This month, giving us yet another reason to visit its lively locale, Soul has revamped its cocktail menu entirely — adding a host of inventive new libations (and a few more classic renditions, with a signature Soul twist) to compliment the exceptional food on offer.

From sweet to sour, fruit-forward to more savoury sips, the newly-added cocktails join familiar favourites on the menu (don’t panic, the Pornstar Martini remains) — offering a soulful salve to the dreary winter days ahead. Here, we round up our picks. Salute!

Peanut Nutter
Peanut Nutter

Pairing Irish whiskey with peanut butter whiskey, oloroso, maple, and chocolate bitters, this delightful drop has all the makings of a perfect winter cocktail. Warming, comforting, subtly sweet, and entirely satisfying.

Bringing Sexy Back
Bringing Sexy Back

This fruit-forward cocktail is vibrant enough to lure even the most winter-adverse amongst us out of the house. Melding żubrówka vodka with fresh peach, raspberry, and acidified apple, this delectable drop is a crowd-pleaser, through and through.

Grapefruit Gimlet
Grapefruit Gimlet

Soul’s elevated riff on a gimlet pairs gin with Aperol, grapefruit cordial, thyme, and anise atomiser — resulting in a heady delight that packs a punch and tastes like it belongs on a Mediterranean seaside.

SOUL Punch
SOUL Punch

Akin to a rum punch, but with a decidedly elevated spin, Soul’s SOUL Punch is a punchy blend of rum, pineapple, passionfruit, orange cordial, honey, and falernum. One is never enough.

And last, but certainly not least, Soul’s non-alcoholic Nogroni offers a sophisticated take on the drink of the moment, pairing London dry, with Italian orange, aperitif rosso, and rhubarb and orange bitters.
