The Cocktail Bar
The Modern Twist
That ‘modern twist’ is also a Rules twist. All 10 recipes are his, with charachteristic touches (eau-de-vie, grapefruit, absinthe, the no-longer-made Cinzano Orancio), all with a base ingredient and between two and four other flavouring ingredients. Classic Cocktails ‘made the way they used to be made’.
No homemade infusions. No assortments of muddled berries. no ‘cocktail speak’ descriptions either. Another doctrine is: “Don’t try to be clever, just focus on making great drinks.” The bar’s offer has to be special – an enhancement of the restaurant, not a competitor. The drinks list is separate and individual too – not least, old bottled liqueurs hunted down.
