A historic collaboration in Dumfries is bringing a new twist to cocktail culture at The Globe Inn, a favourite haunt of national Bard Robert Burns. Established in 1610, The Globe Inn is renowned for its wide selection of Scottish and world whiskies, attracting visitors seeking a traditional tipple. However, a fresh wave of creativity has hit the iconic establishment with the introduction of a new cocktail menu titled “A Journey Through Time and Local Flavours,” curated by resident mixologist Adam Baglow.
Adam’s innovative menu takes patrons on a voyage through the history of cocktails, unveiling the evolution of these concoctions while highlighting the best of local spirits.

The menu features drinks from different eras, each meticulously created to represent the distinctive flavours and techniques of its time.
From Annandale’s award-winning whiskies to Ninefold’s signature rum and Hills and Harbour Gin’s botanicals, every sip celebrates the craftsmanship of local distilleries. In addition to alcoholic beverages, a selection of alcohol-free mocktails is available to cater to all preferences. Adam expressed his passion for the menu, aiming to provide guests with an unforgettable experience that tells a story not just of historical origins but also of the dedication behind the local spirits featured.
