COCKTAILS

CLASSICALLY ORIENTATED COCKTAILSThe history of cocktails is shrouded in mystery. Over the years facts have been relayed incorrectly and fictitious versions have been fabricated, recipes have been lost or forgotten and bartenders have gained credit for the creations of others. The Martini is probably the most recognised drink ever created and yet despite countless historians trying to find where and when it was created, it remains a mystery. What we do know is that the classic cocktails that have survived this torrid past have done so due to their simplicity and adaptability. Classic cocktails are the basis for all modern day mixed drinks. The majority bartenders look to these drinks in the hope of making a new classic that will stand the test of time and be referenced by future generations. Cocktails were originally created as vehicles for taming the harsh spirits of the 19th century. With this in mind you'll realise that classic cocktails are primarily fabricated with alcohol, blended with small amounts of soft liquids, so be aware the drinks contained within this section are not for the faint hearted.

STRAIGHT-UP SOLUTIONSModern drinks are a potent mixture of old recipes, new ingredients and innovative techniques. Within these tipples you'll find everything from strong straight-up booze vessels to light citrusy refreshers. 100 years ago you would still get varied and interesting cocktails, but what you would not find are drinks such as the delectable Bacon Old Fashioned or the Crystal Mojito which could easily be confused with a glass of water. Science has opened up the door to modern drink and ingredient creation therefore expanding the evolution of cocktails. With molecular techniques gaining favour across the globe it's a great time to be drinking cocktails.

LONGER LIBATIONSThe origins of tall drinks can be traced back to the 17th century to one of the earliest mixed drinks, Punch. Increased amounts of citrus juices, fruit juices, liqueurs and syrups are often added to maintain flavours over the higher volumes of liquid, and it is within this realm of cocktails that the more exotic garnishes are more commonly associated.

HOT COCKTAILSInfluenced by formidable forgotten classics but surprisingly warming to the soul. Warm drinks might not be suitable for every occasion but they do add another interesting branch to the more mainstream cocktail tree. By adding heat, we expose and increase aromas and therefore flavours. The infamous Blue Blazer cocktail, created by bar titan Professor Jerry Thomas circa 1850, is a simple mixture of whiskey, water and sugar, however when heated with flames it becomes an assault on the senses. Adding eggs or butter within heated concoctions can then create textures and experiences unobtainable when mixing cocktails with ice. THE ROYAL MILE BLAZER (W) £10Bowmore Darkest 15yo malt, Crème de Figue, Cockburn’s Fine Ruby port, demerara syrup & Fee Brothers Whisky Barrel bitters. KENTUCKY CUSTARD (E) £7.5 Woodford Reserve Bourbon, Lemon Juice, Demerara Syrup & a Hen Egg HOT BUTTERED RUM £9 Sailor Jerry Spiced rum, butter, house cinnamon syrup, boiling water & Angostura bitters.
