Amaro and creme de mure mark the H.S.L Special a standout

The H.S.L Special has been a mainstay of the Above Board cocktail list since Hayden Lambert opened the bar in 2016.

This drink is one of the Top 50 Drinks of 2024. See more here.

Inspired by the modern classic cocktail, the Bramble, the H.S.L. special is named for the bloke who brought it to life, Hayden Lambert (Scott being his middle name).

The Above Board bartender has had the H.S.L Special on the list since he opened the 12-seater cocktail bar in Collingwood back in November 2016.

A mix of the Italian Amaro Montenegro, and top quality creme de mure (which is French for blackberry), this is a drink that is simple in its construction but that delivers long on flavour and complexity.
