The Gate Launches Glasgow Christmas Drinks With Awkward Bar Portraits

The Gate has released a retro Glasgow Christmas drinks and snacks menu for the festive season and here’s a look at it. 

Drinks like The Baby “Sham” with frozen gin and pear sorbet poured over bubbles, to a riff on the classic Snowball with Brandy, PX Sherry, coconut, Egg and lemon soda are guaranteed to give you that Christmas buzz.

Combine this with snacks such as mince pies and Clootie Dumpling and your slap bang into those teenage years again of sitting in the couch wishing the relatives would go away.

The new retro Christmas drinks menu is available over the festive period at The Gate alongside their regular menu.

Continuing the Christmas spirit, the Gate has also announced a Hogmanay Lock-In party until 1am to celebrate their first-ever New Year's Eve. Tickets cost £10pp and include a cocktail on arrival, toastie and a dram at the bells.

Limited tickets are on sale now from http://bit.ly/thegateNYE
