✨ Experience Review | A Toast to the Magic of Timo Janse ✨
Some cocktails are made to quench thirst.
Some are meant to charm you into a gentle buzz.
But More Mighty Mostly? It exists to let you witness a miracle.
When that seven-vinegar pickled cherry tomato sinks into the amber liquid, I truly felt like I had stumbled into a Michelin-starred magic show. Before your tongue has even prepared itself, a symphony of morning meadows, dried fruits, and a sudden bouquet of vibrant flavor bursts onto the scene.
Timo Janse is more than a bartender—he is a poet of liquids, a conductor of taste. With both alcoholic and non-alcoholic elements, he crafts compositions that are restrained yet bold, elegant yet untamed. Like the man himself: refined, intentional, but always with a twist.
Despite the name “Mostly,” this drink is anything but average.
It adheres perfectly to the “1 Unit” alcohol guideline, yet sacrifices nothing in complexity or emotional depth.
This is the sovereign of low-ABV drinks, a romantic rebel of restrained mixology.
In a world growing ever louder and heavier, Timo’s creation reminds us:
True strength lies not in volume, but in precision.
If you haven’t tasted this yet—

Because this isn’t just a cocktail—it’s a journey worth flying for.
