Cobbler's New Cocktail Menu Is Top Gun-Themed

Break out your finest white, military-style outfit, slap on your coolest aviator shades, round up your wingman and prepare to take the highway to the danger zone. Or to Cobbler, actually. The West End hangout has unveiled their new summer cocktail offerings, and they're guaranteed to take your breath away.

That's a fitting response to a selection of beverages inspired by a certain 1986 action film, as fans of one of Tom Cruise's most iconic efforts — and avid watchers of Archer — will know. Whether you like your drinks barrel-aged and old fashioned, full of fizz or boasting some blended goodness, you find a Top Gun tipple to suit.

Yes, the Danger Zone (with cherries, Monkey Shoulder whisky, Crème De Menthe liquor, lemon juice and tarragon syrup) is on the menu, and the Great Balls of Fire (strawberries, Espolon Blanco tequila, watermelon riesling, white grapefruit juice, and almond and earl grey syrup) as well. So is the Maverick (Glen Grant 10 soft whisky, Rosso Antico, burnt orange and rhubarb syrup, and Black Mission fig bitters), the Goose (tequila, Lillet Rose, tarragon syrup and plum bitters) and the Iceman (Wyboroba vodka, sage-infused sake, lemon myrtle agave and Peychaud’s bitters) — because everyone wants to knock back a drink named after Cruise, Anthony Edwards and Val Kilmer's characters, don't they?

We'd keep running through the lineup of themed cocktails, but given that there's 25 in total, that'd take quite a while. Instead, we recommend feeling the need for speed and heading to Cobbler asap. Warning: once you start working your way through the complete list of beverages — and you will want to work your way through the complete list of beverages, trust us — you'll be singing 'You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling' to someone else in the bar in no time.
