Cocktails

From Winston Churchill’s dry martinis to Earnest Hemmingway drinking at the infamous El Florito in Havana, cocktails have captured the imagination of bartenders and drinkers the world over. From humble origins in the Jazz age, the art of the cocktail has expanded to a global phenomenon, with no end in sight. The ever-increasing number of ingredients sourced from the furthest reaches of the globe, provide a variety of cocktails that are only limited by the courage and imagination of those who drink them.

Cocktails have the amazing ability to transport the drinker to a place of astounding beauty. You can almost hear the crashing of the waves on Ipanema beach as you sip at a caipirinha, or feel the buzz of Havana in the 1950’s as you stir your mojito. Cocktails are a statement of sophistication, a hint of decadence and the last word in refinement. Whether you enjoy the fruity delight of a daiquiri or prefer the subtle elegance of a martini, there is a cocktail to suit every drinker and every mood. Let your journey of exploration begin.
