Marcin Adamski is our favourite P***k. He is masterful behind the bar at Poco and is clearly a little homesick for his family back in Poland...this cocktail special is called "The home coming"

It features Poland's finest vodka, beautiful French Poire William, cold pressed apple & beetroot juice and a couple of other secret ingredients.

Pop in. Say hi. Get healthy and think of home. ❀️
