At the counter / 01
A list you can finish before you choose. Two separate recipes without alcohol, water, and a few small drinks to take slowly.
01 / With alcohol · Short / stirred
Dry grain spirit, citrus peel, a trace of tea bitters. Stirred and served short.
Dry at the first sip, with peel and tea remaining after it. A small glass for an unhurried conversation.
Served cold. Ask about the grain spirit and bitters at the counter.
02 / Without alcohol · Long / cold
Dark tea, roasted orange, honey and a little soda. No alcohol in this recipe.
The orange is roasted before it meets the tea. The bubbles are kept light; this is a drink to sit with rather than a glass to finish in a hurry.
Contains honey. The tea contains caffeine.
03 / With alcohol · Short / stirred
Aged rum, coffee reduction and a rinsed bitter glass. A small, unhurried drink.
The bitter rinse stays close to the glass. Coffee brings the darker note; there is no need to add a story about which coast you are watching.
Contains coffee and caffeine. Served cold.
04 / Without alcohol · Water / small bowl
Chilled water and a bowl of salted nuts. Ask for water before deciding anything else.
There is a place on the list for arriving thirsty and undecided. You can ask for water on its own and discuss the bowl before it is set down.
The bowl contains nuts; ask what is in it before choosing.
05 / Without alcohol · Warm / spiced
Pear, lemon and warm spice, served without alcohol. A warm alternative after the last meal.
Soft pear comes first, then a little lemon. We pour it warm, with the handle turned towards you. It need not mark the end of an evening.
Ask at the counter which spices are in the pot.
If an ingredient, sweetness, temperature or the nut bowl matters to you, tell the counter first. We will explain what we can change before you decide. A recipe name cannot answer every ingredient question.
The small kitchen keeps limited portions. This list is not a live inventory and offers no delivery ordering. To leave a bottle for another visit, begin with the keeping notes on the shelf.
