Jameson Whiskey (or Whisky for the Scotts) needs no introduction. An agile global classic that is good in just about any situation; straight, on the rocks, coca-cola, ginger ale, ginger beer, even a splash of water, and everything in between. J for Jewellery Quarter, or J for Jameson, you decide?

The appreciation of Tequila has moved on leaps and bounds in the UK over the past 20 years. What was once a cheap shot to be done on a Friday night with your friends to get you in the 'Karaoke Zone' has become something rather more complex. T for Tamworth, T for Tyseley, T for Tanworth in Arden, or T for Tequilla?

Whether you partied in the '90s, '00s, or even in 2021 Sambuca is a classic spirit synonymous with Birthdays, Stag Do's, Hen Do's, New Jobs, Old Jobs, and every in-between party you can think of. From Minworth to Majorca or Tenerife to Tyseley we have all clinked our shot glasses to welcome someone in or send someone off. A spicey mix of Star Anise and herbs delivered in a 38% ABV liquid makes for the perfect match.

Well, Birmingham, Local Social Media went into meltdown this week when the one & only ''Tom Cruise'' (Or possibly Tom Booze) was spotted in our great city. From Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook the memes started flying in. From sightings in The Bullring, eating custard in the Custard Factory to Asha's on Newhall Street (apparently 2 Chicken Tikka Masalas were consumed) and even playing PitPat at The Floodgate. Apparently, when our games marshal asked what his score was he said 'Show me the money' and ordered another PitPat PornStar Martini. When we found out he boogied on the 18th hole, our Marshal Bonnie asked him again 'Please, I don't want to end it this way.' Tom Replied (as Brian of course): Jesus, everything ends badly, otherwise it wouldn't end.” Then he left.

What else can we say other than The Floodgate regulars love AU Vodka! This innovative spirit not only tastes amazing but looks great too, AU really walks the walk and talks the talk. Released in 2015 AU combines their British heritage and luxury ingredients together to create truly exceptional ultra-premium vodka. Recognized instantly by their signature gold bottle, Au Vodka is for those who choose individuality over a common following. Au’s signature smooth taste and distinct flavoring are perfect on the rocks or in a martini, breathing character to any cocktail.

What more can we say about the tongue-twisting, mouth-watering sour taste of Apple & Cherry Sourz? Get those saliva glands working and get a round of Sourz in. As a relatively low ABV shot at 15% this is a firm favorite at The Floodgate, not too strong, not too sweet but just the right amount of sour. We have even heard this improves your chances of a home run in our Bleachers Baseball Cages (unverified of course)
