Airmail

White rum shaken vigorously with fresh lime and honey, topped with crisp, sparkling w**e!

This one is a classic!

The Airmail was born out of a love of Cuban rum in a time where rum was sparse.

"Because ofĀ prohibition, Americans were only able to legally drink alcohol abroad until 1933. Cuba, among other countries, benefited from this as a pronounced bar and cocktail culture began developing on the island in the 1920s. Since 1925, flights have been available fromĀ Key WestĀ toĀ Havana, and in 1930, a regularĀ airmail serviceĀ was established to and from the island (international phone lines were still a rarity at this point)."

Shortly after, theĀ Airmail CocktailĀ appeared for the first time. šŸ„‚āœˆļøšŸ“Ø

Put Up Your Dux

Lime Leaf Gin, Del Santo, Lychee, Lime, Soda, Soda

This cocktail is a variation of a special drink we made for a friend's Bloodsport themed 40th birthday party. The "Put Up Your Dux" is an homage to the Jean-Claude Van Damme character in that particularly cheesy martial arts movie. It was wonderfully fun! šŸ„·

The cocktail itself is punchy (not the karate way), bright, refreshing, fizzy and a bit funky.

We infuse Tanqueray Gin with fresh lime leaves to impart an aromatic, slightly floral, lemongrassy flavour. We then shake it with Del Santo Herbal Liqueur to add bittersweet complexity, Soho Lychee Liqueur for notes of ripe, fragrant exotic fruit and blossoms, and freshly squeezed lime juice for a mouthwatering tartness. It's then strained into a tall glass and topped with soda for a feisty, sparkling finish!

A drink worth going AWOL for!

Get refreshed tonight! šŸ¹

Rums, Montenegro, Green Chartreuse, Passion Fruit, Pineapple, Grapefruit, Lemon, Lime, Almond Orgeat, Bitters

A tiki style, Rum Punch meets Mai Tai inspired cocktail that will transport you to the tropics! šŸļø

It's base is a blend of rums:
- Planteray 3 Star Caribbean White Rum, (With methods and cane from the terroir of Jamaica, Barbados and Trinidad.) for its smooth, bright notes of grassy vanilla and tropical fruit.
-Smith & Cross Navy Strength Jamaican Rum for it's funky, overripe banana, caramelized baking spice and earthy leather notes.
- El Dorado 12 Year Rum, hailing from Guyana, aged in oak bourbon barrels, to impart deep flavours of demerara, molasses, toffee and warm dates.

Combined with Amaro Montenegro for gently bittersweet, spiced floral notes, and Green Chartreuse for a sweet, complex, punchy herbaceousness.

Shaken with passion fruit puree, pineapple, fresh squeezed citrus juices and our house made almond orgeat, for a subtle but balancing nuttiness.

Topped with a tiki-traditional dash of Angostura Bitters, and a fragrant mint bouquet.

For all its components, this drink sips smooth, strong and refreshingly tropical. šŸ¹

Strawberry Clover Club

Gin, Dry Vermouth, Strawberry, Lemon Egg White

The original Clover Club is an old pre-prohibition recipe, dating back as early as 1882. The eponymous gentleman's club brought together journalists, lawyers, politicians, and business leaders at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel in Philadelphia, and the delicious foamy cocktail was created as a signature beverage for them. A version of the cocktail first appeared in print in June of 1901, in the New York Press, courtesy of the head "w**e man" at the famous Waldorf-Astoria.

Our Clover Club makes a small change, and uses strawberry cordial instead of raspberry syrup, because that's what we had on hand, and it's just as delicious!
The drink itself is light, frothy, and a refined balance of sweet and sour.

Have you tried the Bee Keep yet?

Earl Grey Gin, White Rum, St. Germain, Glayva, Wildflower Honey, Orange, Lemon, Egg White, Bee Pollen

Two cocktails in one!

The bottom half of this beverage begins with Tanqueray Gin infused with Earl Grey Tea from International House of Tea , to impart tanic herbaceousness, notes of vanilla cream and its signature bergamot flavour. A measure of Planteray White Rum is added for smooth, tropical body. Shaken with local Wildflower Honey from Barry'Lesya Tabor , for its rich florals, and fresh squeezed lemon and super-orange juice for a balancing, mouthwatering tartness.

The top half is an infused egg white foam containing fresh lemon, St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur, for its crisp, sweet white flower notes, and Glayva, for hints of baking spices and candied citrus.

Topped with a sprinkle of bee pollen and fragrant orange zest.

Bee-line over to Barkeep and try one tonight! šŸšŸÆ

Have you tried the Hawkins?!

Hawkins Cheezies Tequila, Dry CuraƧao, Corn Orgeat, Lime, Cilantro, Tajin

Yes, it sounds a bit strange, but hear us out...

This weird and wonderful cocktail drinks like a refreshing margarita with a savoury twist!

At the heart of the Hawkins is our cheezie infused Hornitos Plata. The essence of real Hawkins Cheezies is extracted in an overnight tequila bath. The solids get strained away, leaving their signature bright orange colour in an umami packed infusion to build our cocktail around. A splash of Dry Orange CuraƧao is added to impart a deep, complimentary citrus note. Shaken up with fresh squeezed lime juice and sweetened with our house made corn orgeat. Finished with a fragrant bunch of cilantro and a tart & spicy Tajin rim.

The Hawkins is as bright and crushable as the familiar Margarita, with the punchy flavours of Mexican street corn!

Try one tonight! šŸ§€šŸŒ½šŸ‹ā€šŸŸ©

Talent Scout

Wh**ky, Orange CuraƧao, Bitters

The Talent Scout is a throw-back, low-sugar variation of the Old Fashioned that substitutes syrup with orange curaƧao for a complex, dry finish. It first appeared in Ted Saucier's 1951 book, Bottoms Up!

Our version uses Crown Royal Black, a blended Canadian wh**ky that achieves its rich, bold flavour by being aged in charred oak barrels. We combine that with a small amount of Pierre Ferrand's Dry Orange CuraƧao, for notes of bitter orange rind and baking spices, mingled with brandy and cognac. Stirred on ice with a dash of classic Angostura Bitters, for a lingering note of gentian, clove and citrus.

Watermelon Aperol Spritz

Squeeze every sunbeam out of the last days of summer with this bright and beautiful cocktail!

Everything you love about a traditional Aperol Spritz, but with the addition of fresh pressed watermelon juice!

Watermelon adds a complimentary juicy sweetness to the otherwise bittersweet and dry flavour profile. Delicious!
