Black Cherry Manhattan £7.50
Sazerac Rye Whiskey, Red Stag Cherry Bourbon, bitters and Dry Vermouth
The "King of Cocktails" first created at the Manhattan Club in New York in 1874 for Lady Randolph Churchill, American socialite mother of Winston. It's also argued that it pre dates the Martinez as is the forefather to the Martini.
Lemongrass & Chilli Margarita £7.50
El Jimador Tequila infused with chilli and lemongrass, squeezed lime and lemon
juice and agave syrup.
Pancho Morales was asked to make a 'Magnolia'. He was not familiar so came up with a new drink. The customer loved it! She enquired to its name. Pancho then enquired to her name. The Margarita was born.
Jasmine & Elderflower Martini £7.50
Jasmine infused Wyborowa Vodka, Elderflower Liqueur, and Dry Vermouth.
During the 90's the Martini had a proliferation of love children. The Vodkatini, made famous by James Bond, was just the beginning of many drinks now termed Martini which don't have either gin or vermouth in them. They are named rather for the style of glass than strict genealogy.
Mandarin Old Fashioned £7.50
Woodford Reserve Bourbon, fresh mandarin, Mandarin Liqueur, sugar and bitters
The Old Fashioned is said to have been created by an unknown bartender at the Pandennis Club, Kentucky in 1880. This twisted fruity version tames the bourbon without removing its taste profile. The practice of adding fruit began during prohibition to mask the bitter taste.
Gentleman's Mojito £7.50
Beefeater Gin, bitter orange marmalade, fresh mint, cloudy apple juice, lime juice
and
elderflower syrup.
Famously synonymous with Cuba. Other origins include American bartenders fleeing prohibition to Havana. They took mint juleps with them. The Cubans had rum and the rights to the evolution of the Mojito. We have gentrified the Mojito and pay homage to our English roots.
Lemon Grass & Lychee Daiquiri £7.50
Havana Barrel Proof Rum, lemongrass, lychee, lime juice and Trio Riveries sugar syrup
The Daiquiri was created by an American Engineer, Jennings Cox, in 1896, while working on a mine near Santiago, Cuba.
Apricot & Vanilla Sour£7.50
Martell VS Cognac, Apricot Brandy, lemon juice, apricot jam, vanilla bitters and sugar.
An English steward on the ship 'Sunshine', Elliot Stubb, created the whisky sour in 1872 in Peru.
Regalitea £7.50
Earl Grey infused Beefeater 24 Gin, Madagascan vanilla sugar, lemon juice, peach bitters, topped with champagne
A champagne cocktail that blends two of England's favourite drinks, Gin and Earl Grey tea. The bitter tannins of the tea enhanced by the earthy botanicals of gin are balanced using vanilla sugar and peach bitters.
Rhubarb & Honey Bellini £7.50
Godminster Rhubarb infused Vodka, rhubarb bitters, and a piece of honeycomb
topped with Prossecco.
A contemporary twist on the classic created by Harry Cipriani at Harry's Bar Venice in 1948. It was named after the fifteenth century Italian artist Jacopo Bellini. Most of his works of art had a peach hue, which is reproduced
in the original libation. |
