Lab 22

𝗙𝗹𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝘀𝘁 🪺✈️

In a few weeks, our very own Hollie will be heading off to see the world alongside the biggest boy known to man 🌍

If you’ve ever had the privilege of spending time with Hollie, you’ll know just how much we’re going to miss her. Thank you for everything you’ve brought to Lab 22 over the last few years, Hollie. You’ll leave some very big shoes to fill ❤️

And that means we’re looking for someone special to join our little Lab 22 family!

We’re not just looking for experience on a CV. We want someone passionate, caring and full of energy. Someone who understands what Lab 22 is all about and genuinely wants to be part of the community we’ve built here.

Someone who cares about the people who walk through our doors, takes pride in creating memorable experiences and wants to help us keep building something special ✨

If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!

Reach out to Sam Lloyd with your CV and a cover letter telling us a little about yourself and why you’d love to be part of Lab 22 ([email protected]) 🫶

Ever had a negroni and thought “Wait a sec... That’s nowhere near savoury enough!?!” We might have found the solution to your problem.

• Campari
• Date Infused No.3 Gin
• Black Olive
• Bay Leaf

Throughing a sweet, umami richness into an already banging classic makes for something for the person that wants a bit of decadence balanced wonderfully against the apertivo of a negroni.

This along with all of our negroni months specials are here until the end of September.

September means one thing and one thing only to us: Negronis. We thought we’d start out with this fruity little number that’s sure to get you off the fence if you’ve never quite been convinced on this classic.

• Campari
• Ice Cream No.3 Gin
• Strawberry & Vanilla

It’s the best bits of pre-meal and post meal! All the delicious bitterness of a negroni and every little bit that an after dinner sweet treat gets right. Perfect for anyone who isn’t quite convinced that a negroni is for them.

There’s plenty more of that to come this month too! Don’t miss out!

We’ve been super lucky to generate a bit of buzz around our Hospitality VS 10K Challenge!

You may have seen that a group of 130 hospitality staff from around Cardiff are taking part in the Cardiff 10km this Sunday! It’s something that we’ve been doing for the last few years but this is the biggest and best so far!

All of this is in aid of DREAMS & WISHES, a charity dedicated to improving the lives of serious ill children based in South Wales. If you have the means to donate, any amount is so appreciated!! 🩷

We would love to give a huge thank you to Jane Cook | PR Consultant Hamish Smith CLASS. Cardiff Life Magazine Businessin Wales for sharing our story and spreading the net even wider!

We’re immensely proud of this initiative and you’re helping us make this the most impressive one yet! 🫶

𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿 🍋

This heat calls for one thing and one thing only: delicious summer fruits. Nothing beats it really! Well... Maybe adding a touch of alcohol. But it’s apertivo, so it’s classy!

• Cocchi Rosa
• Blackberry
• Ginger
• Lemon Sorbet

Crisp and refreshing, this highball pulls together all the energy of picnic-ey deserts into something super crushable. Wonderfully seasonal blackberries, warmed with a little ginger spice and cut through with lemon.

Come get this before you miss out on the gorgeous August heat!

𝗟𝗮 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗮 🌸

Every now and again we all need something a little lighter, even if we don’t want to admit it. We think the best solution, however, still hides something big and bold so you’re not having to lie too hard to yourself...

• Los Siete Misterios Mezcal
• Grapefruit Wine
• Hibiscus
• Sencha

A light summer energy of grassy Sencha, light citrussy bitterness of grapefruit and the punchy tartness of hibiscus comes together to make a belter of a thirst quencher. All of this hitting every note to make Seiete Misterios really sing, it’s definitely one you’ll want to get while it’s here.

Oh... Also... It comes with a absolute nostalgic classic...

𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 & 𝗧𝗲𝗮 🍑

Nothing beats an iced tea on a summer’s eve. Sitting out on a terrace; evening sunset coming in; it’s the perfect way to while away the hours. We think this is the ideal golden hour accompaniment.

• Micther’s Bourbon
• Peach Butter
• Milk Oolong
• Vanilla

Decadent in a “Yeah I could order 10 of these” way with a rich butter peach tint like your favourite peach tart. Something for anyone even if whiskey isn’t your go to, all whilst keeping the character of Mitcher’s. Available all through August so don’t miss out!
