DR OF JOURNALISM “I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.” - Hunter S. Thompson - Koch Oaxaca Mezcal Fresh Grapefruit and Lemon Agave Nectar Maraschino Liqueur A breakfast cocktail dedicated to Hunter S. Thompson. With smoky mezcal, Maraschino cherry and fresh grapefruit, it’s a well balanced drink perfect as the frist one of the day or as a breakfast substitute. - 120 - POLYNESIAN PEARL DIVER “Roscoe, a beer for the man with the beard, and I will have a Polynesian Pearl Diver. Do not spare the rum.” – Calvin Candie in Django Unchained Diplomatico Planas Blackwell Jamaican Rum Gunroom 12 Botanicals Gin Curvoisier VS Cognac Fresh Lime; Pineapple; Orange Fresh Ginger Juice Passion Fruit Syrup The Polynesian Pearl Diver is Calvin Candie in a drink, without the racism, a tiki style drink with an unlikely combination of gin, rum and cognac! - 140 - TRINITY OLD FASHIONED “There’s only one bartender’s diary for all of the 19th century, and most of that consists of the author drinking a lot and being sick the next day” - David Wondrich - Bufallo Trace Bourbon Asbach 8 Brandy El Dorado 12 Dark Rum Rum and Angostura Syrup Chocolate and Orange Bitters Three different spirits, three different bitters and our special rum and Angostura based syrup that we make in house. It´s strong, complex and some might say over the top. - 140 - SEX ON THE NILE " If you're going to steal, steal a camel and if you're going to love, love someone as beautiful as the moon. " - Egyptian Proverb - Thyme Liqueur Pomegranate Syrup Fresh Lemon Juice Plymouth Sloe Gin Campari Egg White Grapefruit Bitters Thyme and Pomegranate in ancient Egypt were both symbols of fertility and they were thought to have special powers of increasing libido. It also sounds like a delicious combination so the “Sex on the Nile” was born. It´s long, creamy and bitter-sweet. - 120 - RASPUTIN OF THE BRONX “He didn’t know that what he was drinking was wood alcohol and what he didn’t know apparently didn’t hurt him. He drank all the wood alcohol he was given and came back for more.” – New York Evening Post 1932 - Highland Park Viking Honour Suze Bitter Liqueur Spiced Vermouth Ardbeg 10 Scotch Orange Bitters The story of an Irish alcoholic in The Bronx is too good to forget so we dedicated this Negroni style drink to his memory. It is strong and boozy and not for the faint hearted. - 140 - Michael Malloy survived 20 attempts on his life in NY during the Prohibition era by an Italian group of gangsters called the “Murder Trust” as part of an insurance fraud. It is a truly twisted story that involved rat poison, methyl alcohol, hit and run, horse liniment, spoiled sardine sandwiches and raw oysters soaked in wood alcohol. Not only Malloy survived all of the above but he kept going back for more as he had an unlimited tab in the gangster´s speakeasy. Eventually he did give up when a rubber tube connected to a gas tank was shoved down his throat but he lasted for half an hour. Needless to say the Murder Trust´s plan didn´t play out as they hoped. After a quick funeral and a forged autopsy report, the gangsters collected the insurance money. Eventually the police heard the stories all over town and Malloy´s body was exhumed and re-examined. The Murder Trust didn´t have a chance to spend the insuance money. After a quick trial they were all executed in the electric chair. Unlike Malloy they only needed one try.

Served boiling hot, heavy on the cinnamon infused bourbon and it´s garnished with a flamed orange peel. Drink it while it´s hot but be careful with the fumes. - 150 - Osgood, I'm gonna level with you. We can't get married at all. - Why not? Well, in the first place, I'm not a natural blonde. - Doesn't matter. I smoke. I smoke all the time. - I don't care. Well, I have a terrible past. For three years now, I've been living with a saxophone player. - I forgive you. I can never have children. - We can adopt some. But you don't understand, Osgood. Uh, I'm a man. - Well, nobody's perfect. Osgood and Jerry/Daphne Transcript from Some Like It Hot SCARLETT “Happines makes up in height what it lacks in length.” - A Love Song For Bobby Long - Koko Kanu Rum Fresh Lime Juice Pineapple and Vanilla Syrup Fresh Pineapple Juice Named after Scarlett Johansson, this is a bartender´s version of a love letter.

If you talk with Scarlett please send her to our direction! - 105 - GRANDMA GOT RUN OVER BY A REINDEER “ They should never give a license, to a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves. ” - Randy Brooks - Plymouth Sloe Gin Wray Nephew White Rum Fresh Ginger and Lemon Juice Red Wine Syrup Cinnamon Liqueur Dried Cranberry, Blueberry and Cloves A perfect hot drink for the cold weather, our own twist on the tradi- tional Gløgg. We combine Christmas spices with fresh ginger and lemon and light it on fire to make sure everything is boiling hot. Inspired by the Christmas song of the same name, it cures the common cold and 99.9% of illnesses. - 120 - CHING SHIH “A Chinese prostitute in a floating brothel became the world’s most successful pirate king.” Hibiscus Gin Sake Fresh Grapefruit Jasmine Syrup Fresh Ginger Lemon Juice Egg White Ching Shih had one of the most amazing life stories and dedicating a drink to her with exotic flavours and fresh fruits was just too obvious. It’s a sour drink with ingredients made in house, and the result is a candy like flavour with a smooth silky texture. She spent years with her 300 vessel strong “Red Fleet” smuggling and looting, taking on the biggest empires of her era. Surprisingly she survived and died rich and of old age. She ran a brothel and gambling house in Guangzhou China. - 105 - “Don’t bother with churches, government buildings or city squares. If you want to know about a culture, spend a night in its bars.” - Ernest Hemingway WILLY FUCKING WONKA “But Charlie, don’t forget what happened to the man who suddenly got everything he always wanted… He lived happily ever after.” – Willy Wonka – Pure Green French Vodka Chocolate and Orange Bitters Orange and Lemon Juice Creme De Cacao Mint and Egg White We made the recipe, we called it Willy Wonka, but it didn´t fit our theme. Then we realized: Everything is cooler if you say it like a Peaky Blinder. When you order, make sure to say it like a Shelby, it will feel liberating - we promise! - 120 SOCRATES GONE MAD “I pissed on the man who called me a dog! Why was he so surprised?” Asbach 8 Brandy Plum Bitters Egg White Fresh Basil and Lemon Honey Barbera Red Wine A twist on the New York sour, a real classic dating back to the 1800s. Perfect for Whiskey Sour lovers with the addition of Mediterranean flavours. - 110 - DRACULA´S MOTHER “ Man has created God in his image which gives him domi- nance over everything else: Birds, lions, trees and women. ” - Elizabeth Báthory – Camomile Gin Campari Black Current Marmalade Cherry Heering Liqueur Peach Bitters Dubbonet Vermouth Served in a glass goblet, it is thick and deep red in color. It´s a perfect balance of sweet cherry, hints of camomile and bitter Campari. - 120 - A drink dedicated to Elizabeth Bathory, the “Blood Duchess”. The woman who inspired the original Dracula stories and countless fairy tales in 16th century Europe. The Blood Duchess was responsible for the killing of up to 640 peasant girls. At her trial witnesses spoke of “bathing in her victims blood” and “drinking blood to preserve her youth”. There were mentions of demonic ceremonies and witchcraft. Most of “witnesses” were of course local farmers so it´s probably not the most reliable source of information. Nonetheless the story of Dracula was born and Elizabeth made it into the World Guinness Records for “most prolific female murderer”. She was found guilty and she spent the last four years of her life bricked in a set of rooms in her castle.
