CLASSIC COCKTAILS
NEGRONI
One of the most famous Italian cocktails there is, the Negroni is as popular at this time of year as any other. Made from Gin, Sweet Vermouth and Campari, it has a mature flavour, that contrasts the sweetness with bitterness.
MARTINI
One of the most well known mixed drinks out there, the Martini is a cocktail that is made with Gin and Vermouth and is often garnished with a lemon. We serve many variants on the classic Martini, including the Pornstar Martini and a seasonal Winter Spice Martini, which is flavoured with Bombay Sapphire Mince Pie Infusion. It’s a must try!

A Bellini is a classic Italian champagne cocktail that mixes Prosecco with white peach juice, or for different variations, mandarin, mango or strawberry juice. It’s delicate flavour makes it the perfect drink for any time of the day, so it’s definitely not one to be missed this festive season.
