Hokus Pokus

Hokus Pokus is inspired by Victorian quack doctor James Morison who in 1828 opened the "British College of Health" just a few doors from here. Doc Morison was quite an adventurer: born in 1770 Scotland, he studied in Aberdeen and Germany, established himself as a merchant on the Baltic in Riga, invested in the West Indies before moving to ordeaux in 1815. A few years later, he came to London claiming to have found a universal vegetable cure for all ailments based on botanical compounds he prepared in pill forms and swallowed with lemonade. Today at Hokus Pokus we prefer our botanicals to be distilled, served with a large lump of ice or sipped at room temperature. While we make no claims of health benefits, we are confident that our tinctures and mixtures might do wonders to your mood, whatever the weather.
