Black Lantern. A carefully curated blend of smoke, whisky and sesame build layers of flavour in this dessert-esque, whisky forward libation. A house coconut and red bean milk give a creamy and moreish finish. A little treat indeed.

Introducing our Cocktail of the Month for September - The Wilde Tuxedo featuring Hendricks Grand Cabaret.

This cheeky number combines classic elegance with bohemian flair, inspired by the Tuxedo No. 2 cocktail and Oscar Wilde's infamous love for absinthe. Featuring the ravishingly fruity Hendrick’s Grand Cabaret Gin, with the complex notes of house-made berry vermouth. A touch of absinthe brings an enigmatic, herbal depth, evoking the spirit of Wilde’s artistic rebellion. Finished with a dash of orange bitters, The Wilde Tuxedo is a bold yet balanced cocktail, perfect for those who appreciate a touch of decadence.

About Hendricks Grand Cabaret
Created at the Hendrick’s Gin Palace, by our master distiller Lesley Gracie, this limited-edition gin was inspired by a 17th century fruit concoction known for its odd tendency to show up at the liveliest of parties — Hendrick’s GRAND CABARET is crafted with a sense of poetic extravagance. Its sensuous cabaret of flavours will seduce your taste buds with pirouettes of decadent stone fruit and shimmies of sweet herb. Calling all dreamers, artists and free-sprited souls.
