Twist of Fate 'Magic and Mystery' edition builds upon the huge success of the original Twist of Fate cocktail generator, launched in 2020 with the iconic Gum Ball machine.

The excitement and interactivity of Twist of Fate 'Magic and Mystery' edition help those who can’t decide what to drink or those looking for a mysterious surprise…leaving it in the hands of fate.

The cocktails themselves draw inspiration from mystical and magical stories from around the world, creating an immersive and spellbinding experience.
Luke Riley, Mother Mercy's Bar Development Manager, shares his inspiration behind crafting these extraordinary concoctions: "The Twist of Fate 'Magic and Mystery' edition allowed me to delve into the mysterious and magical stories from around the world and infuse these narratives into our cocktail menu in a creative and unique way. Each drink tells a story, taking our guests on a journey beyond the glass. It's about creating an experience that lingers in the memory long after the last sip."
In addition to creating this mystical cocktail experience, Luke Riley has also recently been shortlisted for the prestigious Diageo World Class GB Bartender of the Year 2024. This recognition further solidifies Mother Mercy's commitment to excellence and innovation in the world of mixology.

Step into the realm of the unknown, where every sip tells a tale, and every twist of the roulette wheel unveils a mysterious destiny. The magic awaits at Mother Mercy, where the extraordinary is served with every pour.
Mother Mercy’s Twist of Fate Drinks Menu:
1. Voodoo Zombie
A Mother Mercy rum blend with fresh grapefruit, grenadine, fresh lime, mango and smoked tea
[Strong, tropical vibes]
Inspiration: The Voodoo Zombie takes a famous classic cocktail, the Zombie, and adds layers of flavours inspired by the dark art of Voodoo.
2. Enchanted Fizz
Vitelli prosecco with wild strawberry, rhubarb and jasmine verte.
[Fruity, floral, Bellini.]
Inspiration: The Enchanted Fizz takes inspiration from the enchanting power of witchcraft. Enticing flavours of wild strawberry and rhubarb draw you in and then finish with a hint of jasmine flowers.
3. Drink Me!
Absolut Vodka with Luxardo Amaretto, Lillet Rosé, minus coconut, fresh lime, vanilla and cherry
[Smooth, fruit, sweet & sour]
Inspiration: Drink Me! is inspired by the 'Drink Me' potion in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, which was described as a cherry tart with custard, pineapple, roast turkey and hot buttered toast! Of course, we weren't able to get a whole roast dinner in there, but all the cherry tart, custard and tropical notes you would want.
4. Monkey Paw Sour
Discarded Banana peel rum with Courvoisier Cognac, fresh lemon, caramelised banana and masala spices
[Tropical, banana, sour]

Each of these wishes came with hellish consequences for interfering with fate.
5. Lions Mane:
Absolut vodka with Lillet blanc, roasted pineapple, fresh ginger, fresh lime and chamomile flowers
