Good Old Country Comforts
This Maple pecan espresso martini is a winter twist on the contemporary coffee classic, Wolfie’s makes this pecan pie inspired martini the perfect drink to warm those winter bones.Named after a lyric in Country Comfort from Gasoline Alley, this serve takes inspiration from the heart of America and autumn stapes like pecan pie, maple syrup and, of course, a warm cup of coffee. The song was written by Bernie Taupin – Elton John’s songwriting partner, and the fact our cocktail is a ‘cover’ of the OG espresso martini, it ties the story up nicely.

New Year’s Eve
Had Me A Real Good Time Holiday Punch: Rod said it best: ‘recording with The Faces was always an occasion for a party’. This Wolfie’s Holiday Punch is perfect for a clan gathering and high shenanigans! A punch bowl is all about sharing at a big celebration – friends and family getting together and having a real good time. In the song, it’s the story of someone (Rod) turning up to a highfalutin shindig and getting kicked out for drunk and disorderly behaviour but having a blast none the less. In Storyteller, Rod says recording with The Faces was always an occasion for a party – ‘with many comings and goings, and a great deal of nonsense, foul play and high shenanigans all round’ which sums it up well!
