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.
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.
Amaretto di Saronno, cherry syrup, Prosecco
A lovely albeit sweet fizzy cocktail to remind you of the biscuit tin! The almond tones of Amaretto work so well with the cherry flavour from the Monin syrup. Then topped with fizz to make it an indulgent drink.
Opihr cardamom gin, vermouth rosato, Cointreau, Cardamom syrup
Exotic twist on a Martini. Classic combination of gin and vermouth in the form of the gorgeous pink rosato. Add a little warming Cointreau. Plus a hit of sweet cardamom. If you like fragrant spicy, this is great.
Gin, lemon juice, sugar syrup, creme de mure
A modern day classic developed by Dick Bradsell. Ours combines a quality gin, balanced out with a little lemon and sugar syrup. Then float a little blackberry liqueur through the ice. A fantastic sipper.
Gin, Bold cherry spirit, Noilly Prat dry vermouth, Monin cherry syrup
Another one of our twists on a Martini. Featuring the slightly bitter Bold cherry spirit, with a gin base, plus classy dry vermouth to make it a proper Martini. And a little cherry syrup to balance out the bitterness.
Coming soon. One of our latest cocktails under development.
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.
Chocolate vodka, chilli infused pepper vodka, crème de cacao, raspberry syrup, cream
An in-house creation and perfect for the girls. Based around the fashionable mix of chilli & chocolate, and pink and fluffy in colour, frankly what’s not to like?! An interesting mix of vodkas, chocolate and spicy, combined with more chocolate, plus raspberries and cream to make it smooth and unctuous. A classic in the making?
Midori melon, Bacardi, Vodka, lime juice
A summery and striking looking cocktail based around the inimitable melon notes from Midori. The traditional sweetness is balanced out with the lime juice while the backbone of the drink is provided by vodka and tropical white rum. Sophisticated and fruity.
Lanique rose spirit, Chambord black raspberry, Prosecco
A beautiful, modern sparkling cocktail. Prosecco tops up the fragrant combination of the Lanique rose spirit with black raspberry liqueur.
