Oxford is awash with sports teams—everybody knows it. Not only do we have some of the best rowers in the world here, but we also have dedicated hockey players, cricketers, rugby players, gymnasts, and many more. These people go and represent our university with pride and skill, whilst somehow still managing to do their degree. This cocktail is inspired by them, taking the traditional Oxford colour and putting it into a cocktail that is perfect accompaniment to celebrating—win, lose or draw. Although it requires a bit of extra set-up, it is a tasty drink that will send you happily on your way to Park End.
