From the Bartender

Trader Vic's, mid-century, and traditionally served in a shared ceramic bowl with long straws and a gardenia floating in the middle. The single-serve version loses the theatre but none of the drink.

Fog Cutter

White Rum

Fog Cutter

Deceptively soft — almond and orange dominate, the three spirits hiding almost completely underneath, with the sherry float adding a nutty, oxidised finish.

White Rum

Missionary's Downfall

Vibrant and refreshingly tropical, with sweet peach and ripe pineapple up front, lifted by bright lime tartness and a cooling rush of fresh mint, all tied together by the floral warmth of honey.

Aged Jamaican Rum

Jet Pilot

Layered and restless — cinnamon and clove first, then grapefruit pith, then the overproof rum arriving late and hot, with absinthe hovering over all of it.

Queen's Park Swizzle

Aged Demerara Rum

Queen's Park Swizzle

Cold, minty and molasses-deep, with the Angostura cap delivering a hit of clove and bark on every sip before the drink underneath turns soft and limey.
