Be At One - Cocktails

OMG this is my new favourite bar in Birmingham!!

THE LOOK

It's fair to say that we tried a variety of cocktails while we were here but unfortunately I wasn't able to get pics of them all!

• Cocktail 1: Popster. This is one of my favourite cocktails ever! I love how simple it is but the popcorn on top really makes all the difference. 
• Cocktail 2: Blueberry Muffin. I personally think that this cocktail looks so vibrant yet classy, the slice of orange peel floating on top really contrasts to the deep blueberry purple of the drink. 
• Cocktail 3: Rum Runner. This cocktail doesn't look the fanciest but it tastes amazing. Because it's a frozen cocktail it does start to melt at the bottom but that just means you need to drink up! P.S when they make the drink cheer when they do the five finger pour as hey are very proud of themselves!! 
• Cocktail 4: Candy Pants. Personally I was quite disappointed in the appearance of this one as there was just too much ice!! First the glass was filled with ice and then my lovely pink drink but then even more ice on top?! 
• Cocktail 5: Pear Sherbet. I was really shocked that this cocktail was clear! It was simple yet elegant, served in a martini glass and decorated with a simple slice of dried lemon. 
• Cocktail 6: Frozen Mango Bellini. The colour of this cocktail is absolutely stunning. You really do get that vibrant yellowy orange of a fresh mango but in the form of an alcoholic slushy served in a wine glass. 
• Cocktail 7: Rhys' Pieces (the final one I promise). This really reminds me of an alcoholic milkshake in both look and taste but a tad different as it's served in a wine glass. You get a Peanut Butter Cup on top but try and eat it right away as it tends to sink and then you get messy (I found out the hard way)!

THE TASTE

1. (Butterscotch schnapps · sweet and salty popcorn · vanilla ice cream) This cocktail is now in my top 10!! Each one has half a pack of sweet and salted Proper Corn popcorn in it but it's so smooth and you can really taste each individual ingredient
2. (Absolut Vanilla · gingerbread syrup · cranberry juice · lemon juice · blueberry jam) I really don't understand why this is called Blueberry Muffin, it tastes absolutely nothing like one?! For the first few sips all I could taste was ginger as it was so overpowering but eventually the other flavours started to come through. Not one I would rush to have again but I would definitely give it another try!
3. (Bacardi Carta Negra rum · banana liqueur · blackberry liqueur · grenadine · lime juice · Appleton Estate Signature Blend) I loved this cocktail but I was really surprised just when I looked up what was in it and saw that it has banana liqueur in it as there isn't even a hint of banana?! I'd definitely have it again as it's basically an alcoholic slushy but it is rather strong!
4. (Absolut Kurant vodka · Chambord · strawberry purée · fresh lemon juice · cranberry juice) Again I don't understand the name of this cocktail! It doesn't taste like candy?? To be fair it didn't really taste of much at all as the ice watered it down quite a bit
5. (Absolut vodka (Pears)· citric syrup) This cocktail was shockingly sharp!! I actually didn't finish it as it was simply too sour! Perhaps I chose the wrong vodka but this was actually vile
6. (Absolut vodka (Mango) · fruit liqueur · fruit purée · sugar · Prosecco Santome) This drink was lush! I've never tried a frozen bellini before but I definitely will again! I was pretty much like drinking an ice lolly, so refreshing but with a slight zing to break up the sweet sicklyness of the others!
7. (Peanut butter cups · bourbon · sugar · vanilla ice cream) OMG this cocktail was sent down from heaven! Perfect for any lover of the moreish Reese's Peanut Butter as this basically tastes like a bunch of them blended with ice. Perfection

THE PLACE

I love this basement bar! It's so stylish and chic but you can get away with wearing whatever you like, some people were wearing dresses and heels, others were in jeans and a T-shirt, it's just that sort of place! The bar staff and doorman were also wonderfully friendly and would just come over to join in our conversations but actually gave their opinions instead of just agreeing.
