As a young boy, i was completely obsessed with tractors.

I had
pictures of tractors all over my bedroom walls; I had tractor toys,
tractor T-shirts, a tractor carpet, and duvet cover, the whole
works. I ate, drank and slept tractors. On my 17th birthday, I was
thrilled to get an invitation to go to a tractor factory nearby and
test-drive a brand new tractor.

My excitement was incredible as i told my family and friends. The

great day came and I went to the factory for a test-drive.
Unfortunately, something went terribly wrong with the tractor
when I was driving it and it flipped over, trapping and breaking my
leg and knocking a tooth out.

I was so upset and tried to sue the tractor company for

negligence. However, the company would have none of it and told
there was no liability and that I could get lost!

You can imagine I was very annoyed with this and somehow after a
while lost all the love I had had for tractors and soon vowed to
shed them from my life completely and forever.

All the posters came down, the toys were given away - tractors
were GONE.

Many years later, I went into a bar for a drink. Inside, the
cigarette and cigar smoke was terrible but through it I saw a
beautiful girl seated at the bar on her own. Tears were streaming
down her face.

I asked her what was wrong and she said that the smoke was
making her eyes sting and stream with tears.

With that, I looked around and then took a huge breath, sucking in
all the smoke. I then walked outside into the car park and blew all
the smoke out again. I went back into the bar where the air is now
clear and sweet and sat down next to the girl.

" That was amazing!" she said, "How did you do that?"
" No problem", I said

" I'm an ex-tractor fan"

THE BARTENDER
A bartender, as a rule, is a person who enjoys the company of
others, endeavours to solve problems, listens to the woes of the
world, sympathises with the mistreated, laughs with the comedians,
cheers up the down-at-heart and generally controls the
atmosphere at his or her bar. A bartender is the manager of
moods, the master of mixology.
THE COCKTAIL
It is strange that the origin of the famous and mysterious word
‘cocktail’ as a term for mixed drinks cannot be precisely
established. In an American magazine in 1806 the word ‘cocktail’ was
first defined in print as a mixture of spirits, sugar, water and
bitters. The term was certainly not then in common use. Nor does
the reference preclude its prior regional usage.

One popular notion is that during the American war of

independence, a tavern keeper called Betsy Flanagan, whose
premises were frequented by Lafayette’s as well as Washington’s
officers, once prepared a meal of chickens she filched from a
pro-British neighbour. To celebrate this victory she decorated
glasses used at the feast with bird feathers. Her French
customers toasted her with cries of “Vive Le Cocktail”.

drink before dinner. But I do like that one to be large and very strong

exceptionally long finish, this rum keeps coming back, and surprises

ULTIMAT MARTINI — €15.00

Potato and low number of distillations (3), Ultimat provides us with

GRAN CENTENARIO AÑEJO MARGARITA — €15.00
This tequila has been aged for 24 months in French Oak barrels. It

vanilla but it also gives us a complex aftertaste thanks to the
balance between notes of agave and wood.

We find ourselves with a very different gin thanks to its
Mediterranean botanicals. Arbequina Olive gives us a very pleasing
“oily” flavour in the mouth that is in harmony with other dry

final blend.

Walker Blue Label scotch whisky, angostura bitters and sugar.

silky grape base as well as the subtle floral note. Superb in a dry
martini.
G ‘VINE FLORAISON MARTINI — €12.50
This is just amazingly different than any other gin I have
experienced, the floral intensity is so smooth, soft, and feminine.
So sexy, that my tongue tingles like that first kiss you have when
you are falling in lust with someone new and exciting.

ELEMENTS EIGHT PLATINUM MOJITO — €12.50

The harmonious balance of the eight key elements renders the
super premium rum pure and flavourful. It can be enjoyed straight ,
on the rocks or like we have done here in a mojito.

MAKERS MARK OLD FASHIONED — €12.50

Rich in flavour yet soft on the palate, one of the best bourbons
on the market today. Distinctive and complex, yet possess the
refinement and balance found in a finely crafted malt or cognac,
refreshing and pleasant. In addition, the enjoyment is always an
experience of the total.

BELOW 42 VODKA MARTINI — €12.50

Central Aotearoa, in New Zealand, is 42 degrees below the equator,
which is where Below 42 was conceived. An exceptional vodka,
international judges have applauded Below 42 for the controlled
flavour that produces flavour rather than heat.
THE HANGOVER POEM
A's for Amnesia, because, with regret, I forgot
what I drank when I drank to forget.

B is for Beer, whose sweet comfort I sought;

It's uncomfortable knowing how many I bought.

C is for Cocktail, and, like how they're made,

I'm muddled, and shaken, and not natural shades.

D is for Drinking, my primary vice

Now my bloodstream is ten percent Cointreau on
ice

E's for Electrolytes, causing the fog

That can only be cleared by a Hair of the Dog.

F is for Finding Myself Tucked In Bed,

With the cab ride a memory gone from my head.

G is for Gin, and I had mine with tonic,

Now my snoring and belching are quite
inharmonic.

H is for Headache, and How Did I Get

A tattoo on my arse and a sheep for a pet?

I is for Ice, which, as well as some chips,

Are the only near-solids that passed through
my lips

J is for Just When I'm On My Way Out,

A friend with a credit card yells "It's my shout!"

K's Karaoke, and I thought I'd try it

From "Khe Sanh" to Kylie, I should've been quiet.

L is for Lager, and also for Lout,

Said together, descriptive of me when I'm out.

M's for Mojito, Martini, and more:

Margarita, Manhattan, and Me On The Floor.
N is for Nausea, and I've little doubt
That my insides are liquid, and want to come out.

O is for Oh Dear, I Think I Recall that I danced

on the bar with no clothes on at all.

P is for Pissed, and for Pickled, and Pray

Pass the Panadol, Please make the Pain go away.

Q is for Quiet! Don't make such a din,

'Cause my head feels like something a
Rottweiler's in.

R is for Retching, quite good for the soul; I can

work on my abs whilst I'm hugging the bowl.

S is for Sangria, guzzled in Spain,

And in quantities injurious to my brain.

T is for Toilet, cool solid and white;

The friend I embrace at the end of the night.

U is for Under the Table, and so

Now I'm Under the Weather, and moving quite
slow.

V is Vodka – they say it doesn't smell

Yet they've not whiffed my breath, from the
armpit of Hell.

W's Water, on which I depend,

'Cause my mouth is as dry as a camel's rear end.

X marks the spot, they say, where treasure lies,

But it marks not these spots here in front of my
eyes.

Y's yesterday, and the words I said then,

Which were something like "I'm never drinking
again."

Z is for… for… Written by Jo Blogs

Oh look, bugger it. Scotch, please. http://jo-joblogs.blogspot.com/
THE MARTINI — €7.00/€20.00
“Get me out of this wet coat and into a dry martini” – an
interesting and appropriate quote by Mae West, regarding this
classic cocktail. Opt between Tanqueray gin or Ketel One. Olives,
green or black? With a twist? How about a Gibson with pearl
onions? A Franklin with 2 olives? A Gimlet with Roses Lime
Cordial? Or a Number 1 with an onion and an olive? Be
adventurous, try a Dirty Martini (with olive brine), or perhaps a
Smoky Martini with a rinse of scotch. For a refreshing change try
an ‘in season’ fresh fruit martini – watermelon, passion fruit,
raspberry, apple – the list goes on…. For a touch of spice, try a
Cajun Cucumber Martini or go the extra mile with a superior martini
using Belvedere, or Grey Goose Vodka, alternatively Tanqueray 10
premium gin. How about a Bradford, shaken not stirred, just the
way 007 likes it. Fancy both Tanqueray gin and Ketel One? Ask for
a Vespa. Whatever you like!

MARGARITA — €8.00
The classic margarita with José Cuervo tequila, Cointreau and
fresh lime juice, straight up or on the rocks, with or without a
salt rim. Just please, please don’t murder a great drink by asking
for it blended.

MAI TAI — €8.00

Trader Vic’s original blend of aged Jamaican rum, orange curacao,
fresh lime, orgeat (almond) syrup and rock candy, shaken and
served short on cubed ice.
CAIPIRINHA — €7.00
Originally a peasant’s drink whose popularity has seen it top the
lists of leading cocktail bars around the world. Simply made with
Cachaca Sagatiba, fresh lime and sugar. Substituting Cachaca
Sagatiba for Ketel One equals a Capriovska. If you prefer
Tanqueray gin, ask for a Crushed Gimlet. Why not try the national
drink of Cuba, a Mojito made with Pampero Rum and mint,
alternatively try a Mint Julep using Makers Mark.

MANHATTAN — €8.00
Amazingly, in New York they still serve this timeless classic on the
rocks. Originally made with Canadian Club Rye Whisky, Angostura
bitters and sweet vermouth. These days the rye whisky can be
substituted for Bourbon, Scottish (Rob Roy) or Irish whiskey, and
the Martini Rosso for Martini Bianco. If you can’t make up your
mind, why not try a Perfect (both sweet and dry vermouth).

RAFFLES SINGAPORE SLING — €8.00

The only raffles recipe – Tanqueray gin, Benedictine, orange and
apricot shaken with lime juice, Angostura bitters and pomegranate
syrup, strained over cubed ice then crowned with cherry liqueur.
Accept no substitute.
COSMOPOLITAN — €8.00/€10,00
Popularized by the series ‘Sex & the City’, the Cosmopolitan is a
combination of citrus vodka, Cointreau, cranberry juice and a
squeeze of fresh lime. Try a Hudson Cosmopolitan made with Stoli
Orange, a Rude Cosmo with Cuervo traditional tequila, or a Cinco
Cosmo made from lemon and orange infused Ketel One. All come
with a flamed orange zest.

MULES—
MULES— €8.50
The Moscow Mule has spawned a whole family of imitators of the
original recipe – Ketel One, lime and ginger beer. Variations include
the Jamaican Mule with rum, Irish Mule with whiskey, Mexican Mule
with tequila or Kentucky Mule with bourbon. Or try our Honey Dew
Mule, made with honey vodka. If you prefer a spicy drink, try a
Dark n Stormy, the national drink of Bermuda. Not served in
copper mugs here though!

OLD FASHIONED — €8.50

Like the Martini, the glass this cocktail is served in has taken the
name of the drink. A labor-intensive procedure is absolutely
essential to perfect the taste of this drink. A good Old Fashioned
will take 10 minutes to perfect as the blending of the makers
mark, Angostura bitters and sugar requires gradual build and stir.
Please be patient, trust us – it’s worth the wait. The
experimental person might like a Sazerac rinsed with absinthe.
BLOODY MARY — €7.50
Bloody Mary recipes are as personal as Martinis. Variations on the
theme use everything from Tanqueray Gin (Red Snapper), tequila
(Bloody Maria), or whisky (Bloody Joseph) as a base. Purists will
only use tabasco, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper, and lemon
as spices – but everything from oysters, horseradish, dry sherry,
red wine, cucumber, garlic, onions, V8 and even ketchup can be
added. If you’re feeling a little hung-over, the B vitamins in the
tomato will certainly be helpful, although it ‘works’ like most
pick-me-ups by getting you drunk. If you can’t hack the pace, try a
Bloody Shame (virgin).

MILANO-
MILANO-TORINO — €7.00
A classic aperitif of Campari and Rosso Vermouth, renamed by the
Italians during prohibition as an Americano – an ambiguous
compliment to the huge amount of Americans who enjoyed the drink.
Poured over mounds of ice and finished with a citrus duet, soda is
optional. For an Americano with more of a kick, try a Negroni, just
adding Tanqueray Gin to the combination.

COLLINS — €7.50
A classic combination of spirit, lemon and sugar that has been
around since the early 1800’s. Tom Collins with Old Tom Gin, John
Collins with London dry gin, Sandy Collins with whisky, Pierre Collins
with brandy, Pedro Collins with Pampero Rum, or try a
contemporary classic, the Raspberry Collins.
WHISKY

From its earliest days, whisky has been known for its curative and
creative properties. It evolved into a unique cultural icon of the
people who savoured it. It has charmed the saints and tormented
sinners. Each country, each distiller and blender has made a
distinct interpretation of this drink. Today, whisky is enjoying yet
another revival as a cultural icon.

The name ‘Bourbon’ comes from Bourbon County, Kentucky, which, in

the 1700’s covered a large portion of Kentucky and was a point of
departure for whisky moving down the Ohio River to the West and
New Orleans.

That area originally got its name from France. The French
supported the Americans during the Revolutionary War and the
ruling family at the time was called Bourbon, so, in gratitude, that
area was named after them.

But it was not until 1964 that Bourbon got a serious legal seal of
approval when the US Congress declared Bourbon “a distinct
product of the United States”.

RUM

The Caribbean region is the traditional home of rum. It is widely

believed that Christopher Columbus, on his second voyage of
discovery, brought cane cuttings with him to this area. It was soon
discovered that the islands’ conditions were so suited to cane
growing that it flourished immediately. However, it wasn’t until the
arrival of the Spanish explorers, who were experienced in the art
of distillation, that productions became more advanced. This laid
the foundations for the industry in the decades that followed.

GIN

While it was the English who perfected the gin we know today, the
original recipe was, in fact, based on a juniper-flavoured concoction
created in Holland during the 14th century. This early drink was
given the name ‘jenever’ or ‘genever’, the Dutch word for juniper.
However, when a Dutchman by the name of William of Orange was
crowned King of England in 1689, this name soon became ‘gin’ and
he was largely responsible for bringing the spirit to his new
homeland.

TEQUILA

Contrary to popular belief, tequila is not made from the cactus.

Rather, it is produced from the blue agave (pronounced
UH-gar-vay) plant, a succulent relation of the lily, of which there
are over 200 different species.

VODKA

The King of white spirits. It represents all that is good in our

purest white liquor. Anyone who dismisses this ancient tipple as
being “flavourless” or “tasting of nothing” should come on a
journey through the ages and see the involved process that goes
into creating a spirit as sublime, complex and refreshing as vodka.

COGNAC

Cognac is situated on the river Carente between the towns of

Agouleme and Saintes. The majority of the town has been built on
the river's left bank, with the smaller right bank area known as
the Saint Jacques district.

The town is situated on one of the pilgrimage routes to Santiago

de Compostela.

The town gives its name to one of the world's best-known types
of brandy or eau de vie. Drinks that bear this name must be made
in certain areas around the town of Cognac and must be made
according to strictly-defined regulations in order to be granted
the name Cognac.

sweet and nutty caramel note. This is sushi’s traditional drink.

delicate half-fermented tea where the fresh jasmine blossoms are
added during the drying period. This classic flavouring technique
has been known in China for more than 1000 years. This sweet
blend will leave an intense, flowery jasmine taste and scent.
