CLASSIC OLD FASHIONED

What I just said, Whiskey (we use Maker’s), bitters, and sugar.
£11.50

I IMPROVED WHISKEY COCKTAIL

Somewhere along the line some clever dick thought he’d fancy up his Old Fashioned, so he added a dash of Luxardo Maraschino and some Triple Sec. Just a little different from our Maker’s Mark old fashioned but worth the trip.
£11.50

SAZERAC

The Old Fashioned’s cooler, younger more New Orleansie brother. Using Lot 40, the drink gets a healthy dash of Peychaud’s bitters and an Absinthe rinse. Traditionally served without ice, either get it down quick or give it some time to open up.
£11.50

Scotch Old Fashioned

You’ll never guess what’s different about this one. It’s… Scotch whiskey! It’s Naked Malt, an all malt blend, that’s married in sherry casks, and it’s banging. We also throw some peach bitters in there to make it even better.
£11.50

Classic Negroni

Sipsmith London Dry Gin, Campari, and Sweet Vermouth.
£11.00

Boulevardier

Take a negroni, remove the gin, add Maker’s Mark. TADAA! You’ve made a Boulevardier. A little more complex, a little richer. Still noticeably a Negroni.
£11.00

Swiss Cartel 

A modern classic composed of Tequila, an Amaro, and sweet vermouth. More vegetal, and more sharp, equally fantastic.
£11.00

O.F.T.D Negroni 

Like a Kingston Negroni, but we prefer Plantation O.F.T.D to the more traditional Smith and Cross, so we have rechristened it as our own. Big Jamaican rum funk in an Italian Aperitivo. Careful, it’s a kicker.
£11.50

Spagliato 

Allegedly a bartender picked up prosecco instead of gin one time while making a Negroni, and this was born. No, I don’t think a gin bottle and a Prosecco bottle are anything alike either. Ah well, It’s fittingly named with the Italian word for “mistake”.
£11.00

Cask Aged 

So we’ve made a lot of Negroni, and we’ve forgotten about it… sort of. We batched a load of Negroni (6 bottles of Sipsmiths, 6 of Campari, 6 of sweet vermouth), and laid it to rest in a wooden cask for 1-3 months (depending on when it tells us it’s ready). Then we pull it out, stick it in a bottle, and throw it on our wall of OTT optics. Stirred down to order, and garnished with a twist of grapefruit to really let the cocktail sing.

Dirty  

Now we’re straying from the path some. This has olive brine (Perello Gordial Olives, or as we know them, the best olives in the world) so it is meaty and salty.
£11.00

Gibson 

A little known variation on the classic. Like the dirty, it is augmented by a preserved product. A humble pickled onion. It’s one of our favourites, but can be abrasive to some. *Contains pickled onion* you have been warned.
£11.00

Vesper Maritni

The one that James Bond actually drank, at least in the first book. A mix of Sipsmith Vodka, Sipsmith London Dry Gin and a
not quite vermouth called Cocchi Americano. This one will be shaken, in the spirit of canon to the book.
£11.50

Last Word 

Quite possibly the greatest cocktail. That is all. Sipsmith London Dry Gin, Maraschino, Green Chartreuse, Lime.
£11.50

Bee’s Knees 

The Cat’s Meow, Crackerjack, a Humdinger, a Ripsnorter, a Knockout, a Doozy, The Dogs’… All describe how good the drink is. But this one references the honey, so I suppose it’s rather fitting.
£11.50

Daiquiri

The ideal drink. Ron Santiago, Lime, Sugar.
£11.00

Mai Tai 

And so the tale goes. Trader Vic gave a Tahitian friend this drink when he first made it, and they took one sip, and exclaimed “maita’i”, meaning “excellent”. True story? Who knows. It is excellent though. Plantation O.F.T.D, Triple Sec, Lime, Almond.
£11.50

Hurricane

I will say this once and only once. This is the only drink we’ll give you with a little paper umbrella. Why? Because it’s called a hurricane, and to garnish that a tiny blown out umbrella is funny to me.
£11.50

Queen Park Swizzle

A lesser known Tiki classic. Sharing many ingredients and flavours with the famous Mojito. This is its more grown up (literally it has older rum) and complex version. Ron Santiago 8, Plantation Dark, Lime, Mint, Bitters.
£11.00

Singapore Sling 

No one really knows the original recipe from the Raffles hotel as it is a closely guarded secret of its creator. This is a generally accepted version, which is great might I add. Sipsmith London Dry Gin, Cointreau, Cherry Heering, Benedictine, Lemon, Pineapple.
£11.00
