Windhorst
9.4
(inspired by Gunter’s ‘Es Otono’)
With a ‘92’ housemade beetroot tequila at its heart – this is a sensual, smoky blend beyond comprehension.
Beetroot tequila, lime, agave, nutmeg
Margarita
8.5
Just three ingredients and a salty rim – the classic of classics.

Caught In A Trap?

Some things just work, as well as serving a purpose – if you need a pick me up then you’ve found your solution.
Blanco tequila, Essex Spring Vodka, lime cordial, lemonade
Savapo
9
Tastes like the feeling you get on a sandy beach as the sun is setting, the temperature is cooling and the evening is waiting.
Blanco tequila, mango, lemon, sugar, tabasco
Cliff Richard
9.3
But why, oh why, is it called a ‘Cliff Richard’? Well, that first sip will make you want to go on a summer holiday…
Reposado tequila, golden rum, pineapple, strawberry, lemon, ginger beer
Raspberry Rum
9
A cheeky little rum and raspberry number – sweet, tangy, refreshing; a wonderful drink.
Dark rum, raspberry, soda, lemon and mint
Daiquiri
8.7
There’s a whole range of daiquiris (you’re welcome to make a personal flavouring request) if not you’ll be served this – the original.
White rum, lime, sugar
Essex Daquiri
9
With the fabulous Essex Spirits Company Spiced Rum front and centre this is one hell of a mix.
Essex Spiced Rum, pineapple, coconut, Kahlua, lime
Piña Colada
9.3
Back in the early 19th century, a Puerto Rican pirate decided to boost his crew’s morale by mixing white rum, coconut and pineapple, or so the story goes…
White rum, coconut, pineapple
Dark ‘n’ Stormy
8.8
Sits nicely between the Moscow Mule and Cubra Libre flavour-wise, an absolute treat for the taste buds.
Golden rum, ginger beer, lime
Planter’s Punch
9.3
There’s something lovely, in fact you could say lovely-jubbly, about the Planter’s Punch – tastes like the Caribbean, with a cheeky wink to Del Boy.
Dark rum, sugar, lime, mango, pineapple
Mojito
9.3
Straight from the streets of Havana – this needs no introduction.
White rum, lime, sugar, mint, soda
Cosmopolitan
8.9
The archetypal cocktail – the varied components have come together to survive the test of time.
Essex Spring Vodka, Cointreau, lime, cranberry
French Martini
8.9
The French version often goes under the radar, but it’s well worth setting your sights on it.
Essex Spring Vodka, Chambord, pineapple
Foam Party
9.2
More foam than a 1990s Ibiza club; a treat for the tastebuds and you won’t be soggy by the end of it.
Essex Spring Vodka, pineapple, ginger, lemon
The 92 Martini
9.3
Our take on a Lychee Martini, this is a cracking little blend, using vanilla vodka distilled in Chelmsford. You won’t be disappointed.
Essex Vanilla Vodka, dry vermouth, lime, lychee
Pornstar Martini
9.6
Invented by Douglas Ankrah for Lab Bar, London, in 1999, who describes it as “evocative and tantalising”
Essex Vanilla Vodka, Passoa, passion fruit, shot of prosecco
Espresso Martini
9.3
Created in 1983 by Dick Bradsell in Soho, London, when a customer asked for a drink to “wake her up, and fuck her up”.

House Kyiv Mule
8.8
One of our favourite tipples – the inclusion of cucumber gives it a soothing element.
Essex Spring Vodka, lime, ginger beer, cucumber
YinYang
8.8
A meeting of two great liquid minds, with a couple of tasty additions. Bang on the money.

Twister
8.9
Our twist on a Clover Club, tastes like a melted Tangle Twister ice lolly and is made using the delightful Essex Spirits Company Pink Jam Gin.
Essex Pink Jam Gin, lime, strawberry
Bee's Knees
8.9
Created in the Ritz in Paris in 1921, this is a heavenly concoction. The clue is in the name – it’s the mutt’s nuts.
Essex Citrus Gin, lemon, orange, honey
Bramble
9.2
An absolutely delightful mixture poured over a mound of crushed ice with a blackberry float – ticks all the boxes for gin lovers.
Essex Citrus Gin, lemon, sugar, crème de mûre
Negroni
8.8
A very bitter (some say only for the twisted) Italian cocktail – works a treat as a pre-dinner snifter.
Essex Citrus Gin, Campari, sweet vermouth
Gin Fizz
8.9
Straight from the streets of 1840s New Orleans this is a zingy, fizzy number. There are variants which incorporate egg whites, yolks, prosecco but this version is the bona fide classic.
Essex Citrus Gin, lemon, sugar, soda water
Flavoured Gin & Tonic
9
Choose between our house gin, Essex Citrus Gin or Adnams’ Copper House (awarded the title of the best gin in the world) and then choose how you want it flavoured.
Gin, tonic, your choice of lime / lemon / orange / grapefruit / raspberry / cucumber
Whiskey Sour
9.3
Sours are the epicentre of a decent bar’s list, because they’re wonderful. Don’t feel limited to whiskey – you can substitute almost any spirit and it’ll still deliver.

Braveheart
9.2
A drink that William Wallace would have been proud of, a subtle mix served over crushed ice.
Whisky, Tiptree Blackcurrant Liqueur, Chambord, crème de mûre, lime
Old Fashioned
9.3
A serious drink. Taking six minutes to create, we prefer the New York dive bar version – with a twist and rim of orange juice – to the harsher traditional English version (but you can request either). Both feature a high-quality bourbon centre-stage.
Bourbon, Angostura bitters, sugar, maraschino cherry, orange
Smoked Old Fashioned
9.9
See above, but smoky and way cooler.
Bourbon, Angostura bitters, sugar, maraschino cherry, orange
Peanut & Jelly Old Fashioned
9.4
An adaption of the traditional, but with a wink towards Uncle Sam.
Bourbon, strawberry, peanut, Angostura bitters
Banana & Chocolate Old Fashioned
9.5
How can something that sounds so wrong, be so right?
Howler Head, chocolate, chocolate bitters

9.5
The house take on the legendary Old Fashioned –
an absolute treat for the taste buds.
7* Metaxa, Angostura bitters, sugar, maraschino cherry, grapefruit
Lynchburg Lemonade
9.5
The archetypical bourbon-based long drink. What a wonder- ful potion – a beautiful blend of flavours.
Bourbon, Cointreau, lemon, brown sugar, soda
These beautiful dessert-themed cocktails don’t require any explanation, nor indeed any cutlery.
Sit back, sip away and your calorie count will be loads better than having the real thing – what’s not to like?
