Long Drinks

Fish-House Punch 18

Rum and brandy, peach and citrus, sugar and spice.A traditional punch recipe, believed to account for three daysmissing from George Washingtons meticulously kept diaries!

Singapore Sling 17The original Raffles Hotel recipe, the one before they started

making buckets of pre-mix for the tourists!Strong and dry with freshly juiced pineapples, citrus juices, ginand a balance of orange, cherry and Benedictine liqueurs.

Rum Swizzle 18Our house grog rum blend with fresh lime juice, sugar, bitters

and falernum (a traditional West Indian whole spice syrup).Swizzled into a devastatingly refreshing cooler in a frozen glass.

Seamstress Bloody Mary 18Every couple has their secrets and in this relationship(thats you dear drinker and the bartender fixing your drink),

our Bloody Mary recipe is the proverbial garden shed.It includes tomato juice, thats all were telling...

El Diablo 171950s California gives us The Devil. Tequila with lime juice,crme de cassis and lengthened with our blended spicy gingerbeer, served tall.Silver Fizz 17The Hayes variation of this timeless drink. Fragrant gin shakenwith lemon juice, sugar, whites and a drop of anise.Think old-fashioned lemonade, sherbet and sorbet in a cute little

glass spritzed with soda.

Penicillin 18Scotch whisky and a splash of smoky Islay single maltshaken with lemon, honey syrup and spicy ginger juice.A rapidly spreading favourite on cocktail menus around the

world. Good for all that ails you.

Short Drinks in Fancy Glasses

London Calling 17

London dry gin with fresh lemon juice & sugar syrup,dried out with a Manzanilla sherry & a couple of dashes oforange bitters.The perfect-pre dinner drink from Milk & Honey in London.

pomegranate syrup shaken with gin, lemon juice and whites.Another old drink that is one of our new favourites.

for a vibrant & racy winner.

Vodka Espresso 17Our house espresso martini made with Polish vodka and ablend of coffee liqueurs, Gravity espresso & something special.

Something to pick me up, then f*ck me up Naomi Campbell tobartender, purportedly inspiring the creation of this modern favourite.

Italian Sour 17Three times to love it so say the Italians about Campari and ifyouve made it, you will love this. A trio of Italian liqueurs

(Campari, Galliano, Strega) with lemon juice, sugar and whites.

Brooklyn 17American rye whiskey stirred through with dry cherry liqueur,Italian vermouth & Amer Biere bitter orange.Closely related to the Manhattan cocktail, this drink is complex

but full of subtlety and flavour.
