‘After visiting the Monsters of the Deep exhibition at National Maritime Museum Cornwall, I was inspired to create this marine-themed cocktail based on the tale of Morgawr,’ says Holly. ‘Legend goes that Morgawr was a 40-50ft serpent-like creature with a huge head, goose-like neck and tremendous tale tapering to a point. It was reportedly first spotted near Pendennis Point by a local fisherman.’
