A TEMPLE TO
TIPPLING
TEMPTATION
NO 02.10
W ith such a grand setting I felt the desire to have lofty aspira-
tions and high hopes to try and resurrect two key ideas about the
realm of drinking.
To these ends we offer our warm welcome and some advice. Order
as far as you can from the menu itself and ask the Bartender for help
and advice if needed.
Every liquid has been chosen for a reason and when you sample
them you will see why. Quality and not quantity is the key to success
in the art of drinking well. God is in the details.
The better the ingredients the better the finished product – liquids,
ambience, environment and company – we make all of our juices
fresh and our syrups are handmade.

FEBRUARY
“Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable we
have to alter it every six months”
Oscar Wilde
(English playwright and author)
After the seemingly never ending snow, the winter must surely be
drawing to a close. Thankfully there are two happy events in February
to counter the hardships of the weather.
The first, fashion week, has given us inspiration for this month’s
drink’s list, which contains many a nod to the glamorous world of
the runway.
The second: Peru’s national Pisco Day, which is a merry excuse for a
Pisco Sour and though there are many versions, we’ve chosen a lovely
recipe.
We’re shutting up shop for a short while this month, from the day after
Valentines for ten long dry days, but when we’ll be back we’ll have
undergone a transformation as beautiful as that of a butterfly from a
caterpillar.
Until there, here are twelve cocktails and six mixed drinks and se-
lected spirits for you to explore and savour, and if you’d like, here’s a
toast to accompany them:”There are good ships, and there are wood
ships, The ships that sail the sea. But the best ships, are friend-
ships, And may they always be.”
COCKTAILS
COCKTAILS 01
KANGAROO 145,-
The Kangaroo is a beautiful beverage made in the godly image of the
martini, only with the bravely heretic substitution of vodka for gin.
Ours is made with the delicious and rich Potocki vodka from Poland
with a long dash of French, and stirred until it’s as cold as can be
and served with either olives or a choice of twists: lemon, grapefruit
or orange.
GOLDRUSH 125,-
If you’ve had Bourbon Sours and liked them, you’re ready for your
upgrade now. Bourbon, honey syrup and lemon, shaken until icy and
served on a single rock of hand carved river frozen ice. Heavenly.
