Appleton Estate rum, Kahlúa, coffee, banana, salted caramel, honey, miso. Sweet and savoury, hand in hand: our own sous-vide banana and miso rum against salted caramel, tied together with freshly brewed espresso.
Seasonal cocktails
This season’s four
Here for the season, then gone. Each is £12, and each has a story the bar will happily tell you.
Eristoff vodka, triple sec, honey, limoncello, egg white, lemon. Layers that leave you wanting more: fresh lemon zest and juice with honey under a sweet, homemade limoncello foam.
Bombay Sapphire, raspberry, strawberry, balsamic, lemon, soda. Fresh and light: sweet berries against the mellow acidity of balsamic vinegar.
Eristoff vodka, Noilly Prat, apple juice, lemon, elderflower, kombu, soda. A bold one: a homemade kombu seaweed saline at the centre, dry vermouth around it, fresh apple and a little elderflower to soften it.
