COCKTAILS Frosé An adult slushie, why should the kiddies have all the fun? Provence Rosé, freshly squeezed lemon juice, simple syrup and a teeny splash of Bombay London dry gin. All tipped into a slushie machine and churned into a semi frozen summery delight. Garnished with miniature fresh seasonal edible flowers. This requires the hire of a Frosé machine. This is added to the overall cost. Cardamom Blush Gabriel Boudier Sloe Gin, cardamom infused Lillet Rose and freshly squeezed lemon juice are shaken over ice with simple syrup and a drop of rosewater. Served over ice in a tumbler, garnished with 2 muddled raspberries, mint, and cinnamon quill. Belvedere Citrus Passion Belvedere Citrus Vodka is shaken over ice with fresh lemon juice, passion fruit pulp, elderflower and vanilla syrup. Served long over ice in an O glass, with a swirl of Peychards Bitters and lemon rind twist. Signora Rosa (Pink Lady) The classic Pink Lady given an Italian twist. Malfa 41% lemon infused Italian gin is mixed with triple sec, limoncello, Campari, ruby grapefruit juice and lemon juice. Shaken over ice with egg white, served in a flute or martini glass, garnished with miniature flower and drop of grapefruit bitters. Our Man In Havana Vanilla infused Havana Three year old rum is built over ice with Canton ginger liqueur, lime juice and fresh pressed Far North Queensland cane sugar juice.

Espresso Martini The best way to get the party started. Wyborowa Polish vodka, coffee liqueur and espresso coffee, shaken over ice and strained into a martini glass. Garnished with floating coffee beans.
Espresso Luxe Our new take on the ever popular coffee based martini. Wyborowa Polish vodka, coffee liqueur, cold drip espresso and a dash of crème de cafe liqueur.

Bombay Sapphire gin, Lilet Blanc, lemon juice, Alain Milat vineyard peach nectar, ginger beer, rhubarb bitters and thyme. Served long over ice in an O glass. Spring Fling A delicious Aperol spritz stlye aperitif created by Rockpool in Sydney to mark the change of season.

Rittenhouse Rye Old Fashioned A modern twist on an old classic featuring Rittenhouse Rye Whisky, spiced honey and Angostura bitters.

Mixed with orange liqueur, fresh lime juice, agave nectar and a dash of house-made Jalapeño, Coriander and Cucumber mix. Served over ice, garnished with whole lime wheels. It s a margarita on ice with a refreshing Jalapeño kick. Smokey Ginger Whisky Sour Islay single malts are the peatiest, smokiest, and most strongly flavoured whiskies. Blended in a whisky sour with freshly squeezed lemon juice and maple syrup, they are muted to the perfect level of rich smokiness. We use 10 year old Ardbeg and serve over ice in an old fashioned cut crystal whisky glass, garnished with a maraschino cherry and fresh ginger rub. Brambletini A simple classic that lets the finest ingredients shine through. Bombay London Dry Gin, dry shaken with freshly squeezed lemon juice, sugar syrup and a dash of blackberry liqueur.

Spicy. Stormy. The Kraken spiced Caribbean dark rum is mixed with fresh lime juice, cinnamon syrup, orange bitters and a splash of ginger beer.

Add boutique Harcourt and Perry Yarra Valley apple cider, a dash of passion fruit pulp and mint, and you have a long, slow, summery Negroni. Served over ice in an O glass.
Americano The difference between a good Americano and a great Americano is the vermouth. We use the king of red vermouths, Carpano Antica Formula, first made in 1786 with flavours of vanilla, dried fruits, star anise, dates and mountain herbs. Built over ice in an O glass, with Campari, ice, soda, garnished with sliced orange peel. The perfect bitter orange cocktail. Mai Tai The secret to a good Mai Tai is a quality Cuban or Jamaican rum. We blend Havana Club 3 year old white and 5 year old dark rums, Amaretto, Cointreau, lime and freshly squeezed blood orange juice. Served over crushed ice, garnished with lemon wedges and fresh mint, get your Tiki on! Cucumber Southside Originally created on the Southside of Chicago during prohibition, it remains one of the most refreshing summer aperitifs. This version adds a splash of cucumber puree to London dry gin, freshly squeezed Tahitian lime juice and sugar syrup. Topped with a splash of chilled tonic, served over ice, garnished with cucumber spear and lemon rind. Toasted Pecan Old Fashioned A great Old Fashioned begins and ends with the bourbon.
