![]() | Signature BelliniCreated in Venice, Italy by Giuseppe Cipriani, of Harry's Bar fame. This sophisticated libation is an Italian favourite. Sparkling Wine or Champagne Fresh peach purée. Pour fresh peach purée into a chilled champagne flute. Slowly add your favourite bubbly. Stir gently. Abacus |
Rum Old FashionedThe first recorded cocktail, the Old Fashioned originally found favour in the 1870s when it was mixed with whiskey, while intervening years had it served with various liquors from bourbon to gin. Now considered a classic, this version features a blend of dark, spiced and aged rum served in equal measure for a quintessentially Caribbean cocktail. 2 oz barrel aged rum Muddle sugar cube, bitters and orange peel in a rocks glass.

![]() | The SwerveNamed after the restaurant's original founder, 'Merv The Swerve' knew a good drink when he had one. 1 1/2 oz Absolute Vodka Vanilla In a shaker, muddle the vodka, Apple Sour and two slices cucumber, add lemon juice and a few ice cubes. Shake until well blended and cool. Pour into a glass and top off with soda water and slice of cucumber. MixologistChristian Lord, Lobster Pot |
Tormenta NegraA tasty twist on the ubiquitous rum and ginger beer concoction found throughout the region, the key to the Tormenta Negra is in balancing the spice and sourness. 2 parts Bacardí Select rum Fill a highball glass with ice and squeeze in the lime wedges. Pour in the rum and ginger beer. Next, add the bitters and stir gently before serving. | ![]() |
![]() | Green GiantAn adaption on a Martini, using a less botanical, neutral-style gin such as Old Tom Gin or Hendrick's, lends the drink a refreshing quality, while allowing the subtle flavour of the fresh snap peas to shine forth. 2 oz Old Tom Gin Cut pea pods into quarters and muddle in a mixing glass. Do not muddle tarragon - just smack to awaken flavours and add remaining ingredients. Shake vigorously with ice. Double strain either over crushed ice or into a martini glass. At South West Collective we give it a light absinthe spray to enhance the anise notes of the tarragon. MixologistJosh Wludyka, South West Collective |
