MIXOLOGISTS Clacton Pavilion Playas Bar have shaken up their drinks menu to create a unique cocktail to mark Clacton’s historic landmark 150th year celebrations.

The celebratory cocktail is an intoxicating mix of vodka, Pernod, grenadine and a touch of lemonade and is garnished with a lemon wheel and candy floss.

The new cocktail complements the Pavilion’s gigantic and popular 30-metre-high Anniversary Wheel, which has itself been installed to celebrate the town’s milestone.

Billy Peak, owner of Clacton Pavilion, said: “This weekend it’s time to celebrate 150 years of our wonderful town and what better way than raising a glass to the history of our wonderful town?

“Our mixologists wanted to do something special to mark this momentous occasion and I can tell you it’s the perfect tipple to really get the celebrations flowing.

“Why not join us for a cocktail at our Playas bar before braving a ride on the Anniversary Wheel and enjoying the most incredible seaside views in Clacton.”
