Butch Posted February 9, 2025 Posted February 9, 2025 Does anyone know, or care to speculate the amount of alcohol they put in their cocktails by way of measure compared to the "filler" of Ice / lemonade / Soda / lolly water?. Do they serve full measures or are they reduced as it's not possible to taste it?. Also, I'd be very surprised if the alcohol they serve is genuine - I very much doubt if it's real Smirnoff in the Vodka bottle or Bombay in the Gin bottles. Personally I tend to avoid them anyway, there's been a few recent horror stories about methanol laced fake spirits, and methanol is extremely toxic, as we've seen recently. 1

Stillearly Posted February 10, 2025 Posted February 10, 2025 The first one I remember seeing was by the avenue in Jan 2012 ... It must have made an impression because I took a few pics .. But I've never actually drank at any myself ... some mates have bought jugs of Long Island from the one at Tree Town ...but they were already very very drunk at the time .... 🙃 2 2
