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 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)

What is Hard Seltzer?, we hear you ask! Hard seltzer, spiked seltzer or hard sparkling alcohol water is a type of highball drink containing carbonated water, alcohol, and often fruit flavorings In the US the alcohol is usually made by fermenting cane sugar; sometimes malted barley is used. Hard seltzer products outside of the US have been found to use either neutral spirit, or fermentation of fruit.
