Classics A brief history of the Cocktail.

The first description of the word 'cocktail' that appeared in print was in 1806, in the Balance and Colombian repository, a publication from Hudson New York. A gentleman wrote in and asked the question 'what is a cocktail', in which the editor replied, “a cocktail is stimulating liquor composed of spirits of any kind, sugar, water and bitters. Since then the cocktail has gone through many transformations. Our Classics list is like a time line of the greats ranging from the 1800’s

modern day. If your favourite is not on there please ask the staff and they will do their best to accommodate. Happy Drinking.

Mint Julep: 20 Bourbon with muddled mint leaves and sugar all tossed together with crushed ice. The history of the Mint Julep is a little cloudy; we do know

that the first time it appeared in print was around 1803.

Originally made with a peached brandy, the julep

nowadays is served with bourbon. It is also the national

drink of the Kentucky derby.

Pimms No1: 18 Pimms topped up with lemonade and garnished with seasonal fruit. Pimms was first produced in 1823 by a gentleman called

James Pimm. It is a gin based spirit with quinine and herbs

and is also meant to be served as an aid to help

digestion. It was originally served in a no1 tankard, hence

the name.

Sazerac: 22 Remy Martin VS stirred with Peychaurds Bitters and sugar, Served with a Lee Fee absinthe wash. Mr Peychaurd invented his bitters in the late 1790's for

medicinal purposes, While in New Orleans he started

working with a local Bar owner and mixing the bitters with

a Cognac (Sazerac de forge et Fils) that was being

imported. This cocktail is now considered the official

cocktail of world cocktail week.

Sours: 20

Whisky or Bourbon shaken with lemon juice and sugar. Stained with a dash of bitters. The sours started of a whole big family of cocktails from

the Collins to the Fizz to the Rickey. It also started the way

for the margaritas, Sidecars and Daiquiris. Sours can be

made with almost any spirit or liqueur!

Dark and Stormy: 20 Goslings navy seal rum mixed with fresh limes and Goslings ginger beer. There is a bit of mystery behind this classic…A bartender

made a sailor a glass of ginger beer and left out the rum.

The rum then gets added and it creates a dark cloud

over the ginger beer. The sailor then quoted “That’s a

storm cloud that neither a fool nor a dead man would

sail under”?

Martinez: 19 Tanqueray Gin shaken with Martini Rosso and Maraschino liqueur. The Martinez is the grandfather of the Martini. Originally made by Jerry 'The Professor' Thomas. This drink was made for a gold miner on his way to the town of Martinez. The Drink then reappeared in Thomas’s guide in

1887. Manhattan: 20 A blend of Canadian Club 12yr, Rosso vermouth and Angostura bitters. The Manhattan was invented in at a banquet in the

honour of the Presidential candidate Samuel J Tilden, in

the Manhattan club in New York by a Dr Iain Marshal.

Old Fashioned: 20 Bourbon Whiskey stirred with Sugar and bitters.

The description of the Old Fashioned very much fits the

description used in 1806 to describe a cocktail. The name

however was first used in the Pendennis club in Kentucky.

It was the favourite drink of President Harry S Truman.

Mojito: 18 A classic simple mixture of Bacardi Rum, fresh limes, sugar and Mint. All served up with crushed ice. The history of the Mojito is a bit of a myth. One story is

that it used to be the drink of Sir Francis Drake back in the

1500s. With the introduction of Bacardi superior in 1862

the drink soon started to change and by the early 1900’s

it was unofficially the official drink of Cuba

Daiquiri: 18 Bacardi Superior Rum shaken with fresh lime juice and Sugar. Invented by a manager Jennings Cox of a mining

company while entertaining guests who had run out of

gin and used local produce to mix up this drink.

French 75: 17 Gin shaken with lemon juice and sugar topped with bubbles.

Invented in Harry’s Bar in Paris, a customer referred to this

drink as in having the same kick as the 75mm howitzer

artillery gun used in the 1st world war.

Mary Pickford: 18 A mix of Bacardi Superior Rum, Pineapple juice with a

dash of Maraschino liqueur and a drop of grenadine. This cocktail was named after the original American

sweet heart. Created by a bartender in the hotel Seville

in Havana whilst Mary was filming a movie there.

Negroni: 20 A classic balance of Plymouth gin, Martini Rosso and Campari. Count Camillo Negroni walks in to a bar, and after a bad

day he asks the bartender to make him a Americano but

replace the soda with gin for a extra kick. The bartender

did this and added an orange slice as well to signify the

difference.

Hemmingway Daiquiri: 19 A fine mixture of Bacardi Superior rum, Lime juice, Grapefruit juice and a dash of Maraschino Liqueur. Whilst Ernest was living in Cuba he walked past the bar

La Floridita and saw the bartender creating a load of

daiquiris, Ernest enquires what is happening and then

takes a sip. He then comments I prefer mine with double

the rum and less sugar. Hence the Hemmingway was

born.

Mai Tai: 19 Add 3 different rums together with lime, Orgeat syrup and Cointreau and you have this exotic mix.

Invented at Trader Vics for a couple of friends. Upon tasting the drink they proceeded to shout “Maitaí roa ae”. Which means ‘out of this world, the best’. Moscow Mule: 20 A spicy mix of Smirnoff Black Vodka, Goslings ginger Beer

and Fresh Limes. Invented in the Cock and Bull Tavern. Three gentlemen

got together. One selling vodka, one selling ginger beer

and the other selling copper mugs. From this meeting,

the Moscow mule was born and became a hit with many

of Hollywood stars at the time.

Harvey Wallbanger: 19 Vodka mixed with orange juice and a Vanilla Galliano float. Named after a surfer called Harvey, who had just lost a

local surf competition. He went to his local bar and

ordered quite a few of these drinks and upon leaving

was noticed to be bumping into the furniture and walls.

Hence the name! Rum Runner: 20 A concoction of light and dark rums mixed with banana and blackberry, finished of with a splash of pineapple and orange juice. The Rum Runners were the smugglers who used to ship

rum from the Caribbean to the states during the

prohibition. Bill Mcoy was the most famous of these as his

product was always of good quality, hence the saying

the real Mcoy.

Long Island ice Tea: 20 A potent mix of Vodka, Gin, Rum, Tequila and lemon juice topped up with Coke. The story goes that the Long Island was invented by

Robert (Rosebud) Butts a bartender at the Oak Beach

Inn at Long Island, New York.

Japanese Slipper: 19 Midori Melon Liqueur shaken with equal parts Cointreau and Lemon Juice. It is an International Bartenders Association Official

Cocktail. It was created in 1984 by Jean-Paul

Bourguignon at Mietta's Restaurant in Melbourne. If you

want something big on fruit but lighter on the Alcohol,

this is for you.

Bramble: 19 A great mix of Bombay Gin, lemon Juice with a dash of

sugar and a Blackberry float. Invented in the mid 80’s by Dick Bradsell at Freds Club in

Soho, London. This drink gained mass popularity in

England and ended up being on most bars Cocktail List.

The rest is History in the making….
