Traditional Scottish pubs, originating from medieval inns and alehouses, are vital community hubs with roots tracing back centuries. These venues have traditionally been integral to Scottish social life, serving as gathering places that bridged different social classes and facilitated the consumption of local whisky and ales.


And for almost 200 years, the North Kessock Hotel has been proud to be part of this rich history, being among the first public houses and inns on the Black Isle.


Here, you will find knowledgeable staff, eager to help you find just the right drink to create the perfect experience!

  • Signature Classic Cocktails

    SIGNATURE CLASSICS


    OLD FASHIONED - Bourbon, Sugar Syrup, Angostura Bitters, Luxardo Cherry, Expression of Lemon and Orange Peel


    A true classic. Over 200 years old. The first “cocktail.” Spirit forward with a hint of sweet and citrus to balance it out. Pay attention while you drink, the flavors open up beautifully as the drink aerates and dilutes.


    ESPRESSO MARTINI - Vanilla Vodka, Kahlúa, Bailey’s, Highland Roast Espressso


    Cold, frothy, with just a hint of sweet vanilla. Freshly made espresso for that perfect coffee finish. A great way to start the night, and an even better way to finish it.


    PASSIONFRUIT MARTINI - Vodka, Passionfruit, Fresh Squeezed Lime,

    Pineapple Juice, Homemade Vanilla Syrup

    (Add Prosecco - £3)


    A modern classic. Sweet, flavorful passionfruit with just the right amount of acidity to balance it out. Add a shot of prosecco for A-list star treatment.


    APEROL SPRITZ - Aperol, Prosecco, Soda


    A simple, refreshing, and bittersweet cocktail with a vibrant citrus

    flavor. Balanced with the bubbly crispness of Prosecco and soda water it truly is vacation in a glass.


    PENICILLIN - Famous Grouse Whisky, Fresh Squeezed Lemon, Homemade Ginger and Honey Syrup with a misting of Laphroaig


    A modern classic featuring a bold balance of smoke, spice, and citrus, akin to a “cold toddy” - a bright and intensely aromatic drink.


    NEGRONI - Gin, Campari, Sweet Vermouth, Expression of Orange Peel


    A classic that’s been around for over a century. Consisting of equal parts gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth, it’s packed with herbal, aromatic flavours that are perfectly bittersweet.

  • Seasonal Cocktails - Summer 2026

    THE SATURN -  Gin, Fresh Squeezed Lemon, Passionfruit, House-made Spiced Cordial, House-made Almond Syrup, expression of Lemon Peel


    A bright, sweet-tart of a drink. Perfect for a warm summer day looking over the Firth, or any time you need a quick pick me up. Sip it slow, it’ll be gone before you know it.


    MARGARITA - Tequila, Fresh Squeezed Lime, Agave, Triple Sec 


    Crisp and tangy, this is the ultimate refresher. Sip it in the afternoon to forget the morning woes, sip it in the evening to elevate your night to the perfect level.


    PIÑA COLADA - Bacardi Rum, Pineapple Juice, Dreme de Coconut


    Sweet and indulgent, featuring a luscious texture with notes of sunny citrus, tropical fruit, and a subtle rum finish, making it a perfectly balanced summer drink.


    KESSOCK KISS - Rhubarb Ginger Gin, St. Germain, Homemade Strawberry-Rhubarb Syrup, Fresh Squeezed Lemon


    Sweet and tart, this home grown cocktail is perfect for a sunny day on the patio or a to chase away pesky summer storms.


    MOSCOW MULE - aka Vodka Buck - Vodka, Homemade Ginger Beer, Fresh Squeezed Lime


    A delightfully fizzy classic with a punch of homemade ginger beer! This cocktail was created in 1941 as a way to sell more vodka but we see it more as a great way to enjoy the summer!


    LIMONCELLO SPRITZ - Limoncello, Homemade Rosemary Syrup, Fresh Squeezed Lemon, Soda Water


    A bright, citrusy, sunny cocktail with a crisp, herbal finish, it perfectly balances zesty lemon oil aromas with a sweet, erbaceous undertone

    enhanced by our homemade rosemary syrup.
