Dark & Indulgent
Stay Awhile
White rum fat-washed with coconut and macadamia oil, shaken with espresso, maple, and coffee liqueur. Silky and rich, with a soft coconut note that lingers. "Stay Awhile" is a nod to the finish, and an invitation to settle in and enjoy it.

Zarspresso Martini
The espresso martini, refined. Carefully measured ratios bring balance to a beloved classic. Vodka and espresso shaken cold, with coffee liqueur for depth and maple syrup lending a quiet, nutty sweetness that sets this one apart. Familiar, but better.

- Espresso
- Coffee liqueur
- Maple syrup
Scorched Orchard
Whisky meets the soft sweetness of pear and the kick of ginger beer, grounded by scorched pear and ginger bitters that add a smoky, caramelized edge. Sweet, spicy, and a little unpredictable. Bright enough to surprise you. Warm enough to stay with you.

This Daiquiri is Bananas
A milk-clarified banana daiquiri with Bacardi 8, roasted banana, demerara, lime, cacao nib, sage, and vanilla. Silky, luminous, and deceptively bright, with caramelized banana warmth, a clean citrus snap, and a subtle cocoa-herbal finish.

- Roasted banana demerara syrup with sage and vanilla
- Lime

Fresh & Botanical
GINcidental
This is where it all began. Not planned, not perfected on the first try. Just a happy accident that changed everything. Bombay Bramble and St. Germain elderflower form the foundation, floral and deeply botanical, while yuzu bitters and lime pull it somewhere brighter and more citrusy than you'd expect. Egg white softens it into something silky and light. A flavour profile you didn't know you needed. This is the drink that sparked Zardo Lab.

- Bombay Bramble
- St. Germain elderflower liqueur
- Lime juice
- Simple syrup
- Egg white
- Yuzu bitters
EMPRESSive
A gin sour refined for elegance. Empress gin brings a natural violet hue and deep floral character, lifted by St. Germain elderflower and brightened with lime and yuzu bitters. Egg white crowns it with a silky foam that's as beautiful as it is delicious. Sophisticated, floral, and unmistakably luxurious.

- St. Germain elderflower liqueur
- Lime juice
- Simple syrup

Berry & Bloom G&T
Unmistakably a G&T. Undeniably a Zardo Lab creation. A gin and tonic you'll never forget. Bombay Bramble and St. Germain elderflower bring a floral, berry-forward depth that tonic water opens up into something bright and refreshing. Lime and yuzu bitters keep it honest.

- London Dry gin
- St. Germain elderflower liqueur
- Yuzu bitters

Rosa Negroni
A summer-minded Negroni riff with gin, Aperol, Cocchi Rosa, grapefruit, and citrus bitters. It's bright, bitter, and juicy, with a lightly spiced finish from the Cocchi Rosa that feels somewhere between fresh citrus and chilled mulled wine.
- Gin
- Aperol
- Cocchi Rosa
- Grapefruit juice
- Citrus bitters
The Lab Word
Zardo Lab's riff on the Last Word, a Prohibition-era classic that earns its legendary status. Green Chartreuse anchors it with complex herbal depth, softened here by Prosecco that lifts the whole drink into something bright and celebratory. Mint offers an approachable herbal gateway before the Chartreuse reveals itself fully. Maraschino and lime keep it balanced and precise. Served up in a coupe.
- Gin
- Green Chartreuse
- Maraschino liqueur
- Prosecco

Moscow Mojito
Equal parts Moscow Mule and Mojito, because if it ain't broke, remix it with berries. Bright, minty, lightly spicy, and finished with a juicy berry-lime snap.
- White rum
- Mixed berries
- Ginger beer
- Lime
- Mint
Time Release Tonic
A classic gin and tonic with a Zardo Lab variable: one large grapefruit juice cube that slowly changes the equation as it melts. Crisp, bright, and gently bitter at first, then increasingly citrusy, juicy, and refreshing with every sip.
- Gin
- Frozen grapefruit juice cube
- Tonic water
- Lime
Bright & Fruity
Foam & Fortune
Bold, tart, and unapologetically vibrant. A deep berry sourness balanced by a silky egg white foam that softens every sip. Lemon keeps it bright and honest, soda water gives it lift. Designed for the bold and beautiful.

- Simple syrup
- Egg white
- Soda water
Midnight Mojito
A mojito that stayed out past curfew. Fresh mint and lime bring the familiar brightness of the classic, while a house-made bramble berry syrup transforms it into something deeper and more dramatic. Bright berry red, bold in flavour, and refreshing enough to keep you going all night.

- Lime juice
- Fresh mint

Red Herring
Not what it seems. A house-made raspberry gin, tart and unapologetically bold, put through a milk clarification process that strips the cloudiness while leaving every bit of the flavour intact. The result is a crystal-clear, bright raspberry red cocktail that hits you like a jolly rancher. In the best possible way. The lab at work.

- Lime juice
- Simple syrup
