Now for the fun bit. Choosing your cocktail menu! You may have already read that we generally run with a cocktail menu of 5+2 : that’s a choice of 5 cocktails and 2 non-alchoholic mocktails. Some customers opt for a menu of 6 cocktails instead.
We will put together a menu for you to suit your guests. Over the years, we’ve learned what people like. We’ll ask you for the age profile of your guests and the female : male split. We’ll put together a suggested menu to fit. A hen party menu for a group of hens will look very different for a gentleman’s 70th birthday party for instance.
On the next few pages you will find mention of some of the cocktails we supply. Hopefully, it’ll whet your appetite. And if anything in particular stands out as a must have, let us know. We’d encourage you to try some new cocktails from our list alongside your favourites. Who knows? We may just introduce you to your new favourite cocktail. In the meantime, we’ll work on coming up with a suggested menu for you all.
Gin, lychee juice, grapefruit
A sharp cocktail and fairly light, so a great one to slow the pace slightly. We mix quality gin with a winning combination of fruit juices. The floral sweetness of exotic lychee combines superbly with the zing of a little grapefruit.
Tequila, Cointreau, Lemon Juice, Salted Rim (optional)
Zingy and satisfying with tequila, triple sec and fresh lime, refreshing and simply delicious! One of the many cocktails we could create at your place or special occasion!
Baileys Irish Cream, Espresso coffee, vodka
The latest ‘in’ cocktail. Destined to be a classic, combining creamy Baileys with the velvety sharpness of coffee, balanced out with a touch of vodka. A rich one for sipping.
Vodka, Gin, Tequila, White Rum, Cointreau, lemon juice, Coca-Cola
One spirity, ‘take your head off’ cocktail. Modern, trendy and it just looks like plain old coke. But it’s really the wayward brother! You’ve been warned!!
Orange juice, mango juice, coconut syrup, lime, soda
OMD. Orange, Mango and a dash of lime. An alcohol-free beauty. Long and fruity, combining a fantastic blend of 3 tropical flavours – and all of this in a refreshing drink with a clear conscience.
Gin, Cherry Heering, lemon juice, soda, grenadine
One of the world’s most evocative gin cocktails. Originating at Raffles Hotel in Singapore. This long concoction combines slightly floral gin with the nutty texture of cherry brandy. Add to this some lemon to cut through the sweetness and some soda to lengthen it, and you have one cool cat of a cocktail.
Cranberry juice, orange juice, cherry syrup
This is an alcohol-free beauty. Long and fruity, the distinctive flavour of cherry comes through in this distinctive mocktail. Who needs alcohol anyway?
Non-alcoholic blue curacao, lychee juice, lemonade
Why should non-drinkers miss out on the fun of our own China Blue? This is our interpretation of an old classic – the Blue Lagoon. Completely alcohol free, with a stunning look, and that distinctive fruity flavour.
Gin, Sourz apple liqueur, apple syrup, pressed apple juice
One we adapted from Nigella. A sharp blend of distinctive gin, mixed with apply Apple Sourz. And as if that wasn’t enough we then mix in some super zingy apple syrup ! Lengthened with apple juice. How apples should really taste !
Peach puree, Archers peach liqueur, Prosecco
This is a classic for good reason. If sparkle and bubbles are your thing, this long drink is fantastic with it’s fruity peach notes, topped with sophisticated Prosecco.
