GIN Gin is a fascinating liquor to explore. Its botanicals give it a characteristic that no other liquor has; one brand can have a completely different profile from another and it is surprisingly versatile when it comes to flavour profiles. Gin is also the foundation for some of the best drinks ever made, including the iconic Martini. The selections include gin at its best in the simplest of mixes as well as in the more complicated, often disputed, and finely balanced recipes.

AGED Barrel-aged cocktails have been popping up at bars for quite some time, but the thing is, no two barrel- aged cocktails are the same. It’s basically the technique of taking a cocktail (with a strict spirits backbone), putting it in a barrel, and waiting for the alcohol to extract the colours and flavours from the wood over time.

VODKA We’ve got lots of vodka cocktail ideas - from James Bond's shaken-not-stirred Martini to Carrie Bradshaw's Cosmopolitan or Harvey's classic wall banger. Infuse vodka with seasonal fruit such as rhubarb, or add it to tomato juice for a fortifying Bloody Mary. There is no debate that vodka is the most mixable (and therefore useful) liquor in the bar. Vodka's clear, clean taste pairs well with any flavour, from sweet to savoury and dry to spicy.

“The first definition of cocktail known to be an alcoholic beverage appeared in The Balance and Columbian Repository (Hudson, New York) May 13, 1806; editor Harry Croswell answered the question, “What is a cocktail?”: Cock-tail is a stimulating liquor, composed of spirits of any kind, sugar, water, and bitters—it is vulgarly called bitterer sling, and is supposed to be an excellent electioneering potion, in as much as it renders the heart stout and bold, at the same time that it fuddles the head. It is said, also to be of great use to a democratic candidate: because a person, having swallowed a glass of it, is ready to swallow anything else.

TEQUILA To many the name Tequila brings with it feelings of fear and trepidation.. It’s the bad boy of the drinks industry, it’s the one with the worm in it and it’s been the drink for many that have been responsible for “finishing” off a night in a less than graceful manner. The beauty of tequila is that the agave flavour brings an earthy, sweet element to drinks that no other liquor can. It is interesting to see how that flavour reacts with a variety of mixers.

NEGRONI SPECIAL SELECTION First created for Count Camillo Negroni in 1919 at Florence’s Café Casoni, the Negroni is actually predated by the Milano-Torino, a mix of bitter, barky Campari and sweet vermouth that evolved into the Americano. Around 1920, at his favourite Florentine bar, Negroni asked for something stronger, so the soda water was replaced with gin, and the Negroni was born. Today, it’s a mixologist’s favourite play thing, with ingredients swapped for everything from mescal to sherry. Here are some of our favourite adaptations. Enjoy!

SMOKING There are many different ways of smoking a cocktail – we do it at the end when we’re just about to serve the cocktail. We take the bottle, smoke it up, and then we pour our cocktail in and just let it sit there. It infuses flavour into the drinks for the final result.
