Duck & Waffle Edinburgh heats up summer with 'Tequila Edit'

This summer, Duck & Waffle Edinburgh is raising the bar with The Tequila Edit - a bold, limited-edition menu that reimagines what tequila can be with five inventive cocktails, each handcrafted by a member of Duck & Waffle's talented team.

Launching from this week with mezcal’s smoky depth to tropical fruit, matcha, and coffee infusions, each creation pushes the boundaries far beyond the classic tequila cocktail - playful, surprising, and available all day.

Alexander Winter, General Manager of Duck & Waffle Edinburgh, says: “Our bartenders aren’t just mixing drinks - they’re telling stories. This new menu celebrates their creativity and offers our guests a fresh, unexpected take on a classic cocktail". Highlights from The Tequila Edit include;
