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, Amaretto, dry vermouth, apricot syrup
A sweet cocktail based on a classic Martini formula. Gin provides the base. We then add Amaretto with authentic almond flavour from the apricot kernels plus some French dry vermouth and a little sweetness from the apricot syrup.
Aperol, Prosecco, soda water
This is a modern day classic already. The world’s top selling spritz and a Mediterranean holiday favourite (remember them?!) A double shot of Prosecco, with sparkly Prosecco and a dash of soda.
Gin, Aperol, sweet vermouth
Our twist on one of the world’s most famous classic cocktails. If you are looking for something a bit subtle and gently bitter, this could be the answer. Light Aperol tempered with fragrant gin and some Martini rosso to balance it out.
