Cocktails & Spirits

Hand-made cocktails made using premium spirits.

Premium Spirits

We have hand-picked the best spirits from the UK’s top-shelf distillers, used as a base for our hand-made cocktails, or served with a range of specially selected mixers for a refreshing long-serve.

Brighton Gin Pavilion Strength

The original hand-made craft British gin from the seaside. Clear and bright in the glass, the subtle notes of juniper and persistent hints of orange make this gin gentle and approachable. This multi-award-winning gin is a favourite in a classic G&T or as a base for our classic cocktails.

Chapel Down Chardonnay Vodka

Chapel Down Spirits combines winemaking expertise with modern distillation techniques. Produced from distilled Chardonnay grape skins, this triple distilled vodka has light citrus and floral aromas leading to a smooth, creamy palate and the merest hint of aniseed on the finish.

Knightor Dry Vermouth

Intense rich warming nose reminiscent of cologne, bergamot, bitter orange rind and liquorice. The palate is dry, rich, masculine and robust with an underlying spicy bitterness. Wonderful on the rocks, sipped on a hot summer day, or served long with tonic or soda water. Our go-to vermouth for our classic Martini.

Hand-made Cocktails

Each of the classic cocktails is made using our curated premium spirits, and we have sampled, mixed, shaken and stirred to perfect our serves. We have an extensive range of cocktails and can even make you a custom drink for your special event.

Classic Martini

A marriage of competing yet complimentary spirits, gin and vermouth, to make a classic and oh-so-enjoyable drink. Served dry, dirty, wet, with a twist or as you like.

Sometimes we shake, and sometimes we stir.

We combine Brighton Gin, Knightor Dry Vermouth and mix until thoroughly chilled, with a small amount of dilution that helps round off the drink and bring out the flavours.

The perfect serve – dry and dirty, with an olive.

Sussex White Negroni

The classic bitter Italian-inspired cocktail features a wonderful bitter liquere (Amaro) from Madame Jennifer distillers in Hove. Combined with our favourite local gins from Brighton Gin and Harley House, finished with an aromatic hit from Albourne Estate 40 English vermouth.

Stirred and poured over ice with a blood orange garnish – perfetto!

8-hours West of Sussex

Hop on a plane, fly 8 hours west of Sussex and you’ll be in New York. Our take on a Manhattan cocktail featuring a Blackpool Rye whiskey from Bankhall Distillery, Albourne Estate 40 English Vermouth and classic bitters.

Stirred over ice, served with a maraschino cherry.

Spiced Cuba Libre

Rumbustian hand-crafted small batch spiced rum from Hastings stirred over ice with fresh lime juice and Madagascan cola.

Simple, classic, perfectly presented.
