The Last Murder at the End of the World + It’s No Time!
The Last Murder at the End of the World by Stuart Turton is a high-stakes thriller set in a dystopian future where the world outside a remote island has been destroyed by a deadly fog. The only remaining survivors are living on a seemingly idyllic island. It consists of 122 villagers and three scientists who live in harmony, governed by strict rules and nightly curfews. However, this peace is shattered when one of the scientists is brutally murdered. The twist: the security system protecting the island has been compromised, and the fog will engulf them all if the murder isn’t solved within 107 hours. To make matters worse, everyone’s memories of the previous night have been erased, leaving the islanders to unravel the mystery of the killer among them—without knowing who they can trust or if they might be the murderer themselves. With time running out, the tension mounts as they race to solve the crime and save themselves from the impending doom and the literal end of the world.
With a plot that is intense and layered you’ll want a cocktail that matches its urgency and intrigue. Try “It’s No Time!,” a cocktail reflects the novel’s high-stakes tension and rich atmosphere. Sort yourself out and dive into the mystery!

It’s No Time!
1½ oz Wilderton Bittersweet Aperitivo
1¼ oz Salted Strawberry Shrub
½ oz Orgeat Syrup
½ oz Fresh Lemon Juice
Topped with Wilderton Lustre Pineapple-Ginger Foam
Garnish: Yukari Powder & Lemon Oils
Chill your glassware in the freezer or use ice. Add the Wilderton Bittersweet Aperitivo, shrub, orgeat syrup, and lemon juice at one end of the cocktail shaker. Before shaking, prepare your glass using an atomizer with sugar water or a fresh slice of lemon—wet half the outside of the chilled glass. Dust the Yukari powder onto this side of the glass and shake off excess. Next, add ice to the shaker and shake for 10 seconds.
