Cocktails in The Vines

Brown Butter XO

Fat washing is a fairly simple way of making your cocktails more interesting and a way of adding more dimension in the form of both texture and flavour. This expression is a blend of extra old rum, brown butter and banana.

Vines Bloody Mary

The Bloody Mary was invented in the 1920s or 1930s. There are various theories as to the origin of the drink and its name. It has many variants, most notably the Bloody Margaret (gin) or Bloody Maria (tequila). From 1 to 10, how spicy do you like it?

-5*C Dry Martini

“Dry” is a common cocktail modifier that generally means a heavier proportion of higher-proof spirit to lower-alcohol mixer. In the case of the Martini, this means more gin and less vermouth. Served straight from the freezer.

White Negroni

A white negroni still follows the sweet, bitter and spirit based formula and still uses gin as the main spirit, but instead of red uses a white vermouth and a white bitter instead of Campari.

Clarified Srawberry & Cream

Clarification (AKA Milk-Washing) is an old method that can massively enhance the quality of your cocktails. We applied this technique to our blend of bourbon, spiced rum, lemon, strawberries and cream. The result is delicious.
