DAISY £8.50
The term Daisy dates back to the late 19th century. One of the earliest
references is from 1876, in the second edition of The Bon Vivant’s
Companion written by the legendary Bartender Jerry Thomas. Also
referred to as The Bartender’s Guide this book cited the recipe as:
Fill the glass one-third full of shaved ice. Shake well, strain into a large
cocktail glass and fill up with seltzer water from a syphon.
Rather than referring to one singular drink, the Daisy is applied to a large
range of similar styled drinks. What most people don’t realise is that this
formula became the basis for countless modern classics, including the
Margarita, Cosmopolitan and Sidecar to name merely a few. The recipe
we use has not changed since we opened in 2009.

MARTINIS MARTINIS
It is safe to say the Martini is one of the world’s most iconic and
renowned mixed drinks. The story is a long and interesting one, which
is substantial enough to fill the countless books written over the years
dedicated to this libation. We will try here to summarise its history and
list a few of our preferred recipes and techniques.
Written records of the Martini started appearing towards the mid to late
19th century, but like many classics of its kind, it is certain that people
would have been enjoying the mix of gin and vermouth many years
before. During prohibition the easy access of both of these ingredients
ensured the Martini was cemented in our culture and it became the drink
of choice for those wishing to consume hard liquor in a civilised manner.
Over the years the ratio of spirit to vermouth changed, originally the
mix would most likely be 1:1, probably due to the crudeness of the quite
often homemade gin and the low price of French and Italian vermouths.
As the gin became more refined, the ratio gradually shifted towards what
we commonly see now as a Martini, heavy on the gin, very light on the
vermouth.
The usual questions you will face when asking for a Martini are as follows:
GIN OR VODKA? Vodka Martinis became popular after the spirit
was introduced to America in the 1940’s. The botanicals of gin provide
a more complex flavour but vodka still hits the mark.
SHAKEN OR STIRRED? 99% of the time your Martini will be
stirred. Shaking makes it colder but adds more dilution. It’s your choice.
OLIVE OR TWIST? A nice green olive sitting in the glass is what most
images of the Martini portray. A twist of citrus peel adds a whole new
level of scent and flavour to the drink.
DRY OR WET? Less vermouth is drier, more is wetter.
The point is, whether you are a regular Martini drinker or not, you are
the one who should decide how it is served and we are here to point you
in the right direction. Choose from the following few or ask for your
preferred recipe.

WHISKIES
Whiskies from the United States can vary from bourbon, rye or blends of
both. Bourbon is technically a blend of differing grain bases but has to
contain a larger wheat percentage than other grains in the blend.
Rye whiskies tend to be a bit more peppery, earthier but have fruitiness
buried in its characteristics. Canadian Club is also a blend that includes
rye in its mix and was sold as such during prohibition in the US due to
their favouring it. Japanese whiskies were similar to Scotch originally but
are now generally aged in indigenous Japanese oak.

LOWLAND
Lowland malts offer a perfect entry to the category as they are generally lighter
and sweeter than other regions. Most of the single malts from this region end
up in blends but there is still a small selection which are great as aperitifs.

ISLAY
Islay malts are some of the most well known due to their heavy, smoky and
peaty characteristics. At one time, there were as many as 23 distilleries on
this small island but now there are only 8. Ardbeg, although having the
highest ppm (parts per million) of peat is surprisingly light and fruity.
Lagavulin and Laphroaig both offer the biggest challenge to the palate, as
they are both big, robust whiskies best enjoyed after dinner. Bunnahabhain,
contrastingly, has little or no peat characteristics whatsoever, yet has a slightly
salty character due to its coastal ageing location.

HIGHLAND
This region offers the most variety of all. The Western Highland whiskies
are less peaty than Islays but still slightly smoky, most commonly found to
have sweet starts and dry finishes. The Southern, Eastern and Central
Highlands are lighter bodied, sweeter with dry finishes. The Northern
Highlands tend to offer a slightly spicy character with a light body and
dry finish. This region now includes the Islands with distilleries found on
the Islands of Mull, Jura, Orkney, Arran, Lewis and Skye. Generally
considered as lighter versions of Islay, Highland Park is considered as one
of the most rounded of whiskies produced.
