Little Red Rooster

#9000

A while ago we got a visit from in Little Red Rooster. And on top of always having a nice chat he also shared some great sips with us! We picked his great blended rum called 'Maman Brigitte' to make a new drink! This drink will be featured on our Autumn menu. Come and try it! This friday we'll be back from holidays!

CORN 'N OIL 'N GRAPES
A smooth rum drink with tropical sentiments reminescant of the classic Corn ‘n Oil, yet more elaborate. Sessionable and enjoyable! Well-rounded with a pleasant acidity.

3,5 cl Maman Brigtitte blended rum
3 cl Verjus
1,5 cl Homemade Falernum
2 cl Madeira wine

Stir and strain over a big cube. Garnish with a sprig of mint.

Ladies and gentlemen! We are ready for a little break! Between the three of us we're going to drink some picon vin blanc in the Westhoek, go fishing in Canada, go camping in the Ardennes, do some cooking on fire, drink some beer, play the guitar and enjoy love & laughter with friends.

Ready to serve you all again on 13/09/24 with a brand new menu, Philly cheese steaks, specials and renewed energy!

Today is our last day before our Holidays! Come and try this delicious concoction before our break!

This Punch a la Romaine was often enjoyed in high society circles during the early 1900’s, for example during the last meal in first class on the Titanic. But most likely the drink was enjoyed way earlier. The ‘Roman punch’ has many recipes and ways of making it. It was often used as a refreshing palet cleanser in several course meals. This is our version of this historical & fancy summer refresher!

Jamaican rum - Sparkling wine - Oleo saccharum - Lemon Mirengue

Another one of our 'Summer Comforts'! A visual deception based on the very old mixed drink style called “fix”. Fixes are basically sours served on crushed ice. Very refreshing, with brandy as the star of the show and a citrusy and strawberry finish. We make it black with squid ink.

BLACK BRANDY FIX

4,5 VSOP Cognac
2,5 Lemon Juice
1,5 Black Strawberry syrup

Add all ingredients and fill with crushed ice. Churn untill frosty. Garnish with a strawberry.

Another one of our 'Obscure Classics'. This drink has gone through some changes since it’s first publication in 1916 (Ensslin). We take the most recent approach, which results in a very smooth whisky drink with a rich herbal finish.

TIPPERARY COCKTAIL
4 cl Irish Whiskey
4 cl Carpano Classico
1 cl Chartreuse Verte
1 dash Angostura bitters

Stir & strain in a frozen cocktailglass.

Today is our last Wednesday Gin day before a short break! Come and get your ginfix.

Negroni, Dry martini and Gin & Tonic for 10€ with a free pickled egg!

A signature drink on our summer menu! Probably one of our experimental drinks of our menu. A clarified milkpunch made with the still unknown, yet most drunk spirit in the world: Baiju, and a homemade nettlewine. A wide spectrum of pineapple with a hint of citrusy freshness. Also fermented nettles and a lactic finish. Fruity, surprising & captivating.

This is a Lucien Gaudin. A drink found in our 'Obscure Classics' section of our menu.
This drink is named after a famous French fencer who won several gold Medals. It was designed for the professional bartenders championship in Paris in 1929 and won the honorary cup. Strong, embrassive and refined. Negroni-lovers: “Rejoice!”

LUCIEN GAUDIN
4,5 cl Little Red Rooster London Dry Gin
1,5 cl French vermouth
1,5 cl Campari Bitter
1,5 cl Pierre Ferrand Dry Curacao

Stir all ingredients and strain into a frozen cocktail glass. Enjoy.

Who does not know a negroni sbagliato by now? To be honest, this one somewhat holds the middle between a sbagliato and a Milano-Torino Americano.

“It doesn’t have prosecco in it.” But homemade Elderflower champagne from foraged elderflower in the surrounding nature! Bittersweet, funcky & floral. A great aperitivo.

ELDERFLOWER SBAGLIATO
3,5 cl Punt E Mes
3,5 cl Nardini Bitter Aperitivo
Top with homemade Elderflower Champagne!

Garnish with an orange wedge. Enjoy the summer!

Here is our best selling non-alcoholic beverage. 'The Lenny Lemonade'. Named after our favorite teetotaller bar guest in Little Red Rooster, .

Every menu we create a new refreshing lemonade we put on our tap! This one is lemon, oleo saccharum with a hint of strawberry. Lenny was drinking so many of them it was about time name the drink after him!

Gin Wednesday is back! Come and enjoy one of our Gin-drinks (Negroni, Dry Martini or Gin & Tonic) for 10€ with a free pickled egg!

So far we had bloody drinks on all our menu's! After going through most of the well known classics, we designed one ourselves!

This elaborate twist on the bloody mary is even a bigger umami-bomb than the original!

BLOODY ROOSTER

4,5 cl Little Red Rooster Wodka
1 cl lemon juice
3 cl Chicken stock
Big barspoon Thai curry-mix (Red curry paste, fish sauce, Worcestershire)
Top with tomato juice. ()

Garnish with kroepoek!

We hope you all made it through the blistering heat today. Sorry we're not open today to offer you some cool cooling drinks for you all! Starting from tomorrow we're back!

Come and try this refreshing Arnold Palmer. Half lemonade, half iced tea. Proven to calm you down.

Also this one is found in our 'Summer Comfort' section of our Summer menu!

This drink existed before the bar did. After realizing it was a good name for a drink, we realized it would make a good name for a bar. A summer-refresher that won the first Graham’s port cocktail competition in Belgium. Sweet, fruity and minty fresh!

LITTLE RED ROOSTER
6-7 Mint leaves
1 cl Simple Syrup
3 cl Verhofstede Edelweiss Kriekenlikeur
6 cl Grahams Six Grapes port wine

Bruise the mint leaves together with the syrup. Add the rest of the ingredients and fill with crushed ice. Churn until frosty. Garnish with a drunken cherry and mint sprigs. Enjoy the summer!

To be found in our 'Summer Comfort'-section of our latest menu! Hot days are coming our way so come and check them out!

Our 'Flying Coconut' is a humble twist on the classic ‘Airmail’, documented in Embury's 1948 'Fine art of mixing drinks'. We could call it a carribean take in the ‘French 75’. Tropical feelings with a dash of dandy. Refreshing, yes. But this baby packs a punch! Air mail was once known as the quickest way to get something from point A to B.

FLYING COCONUT
3 cl Plantation Cut & Dry
2 cl Lemon Juice
2 cl Honey Syrup
Top with Dry cava (Cava La Dama)

Shake all ingredients except for cava. Strain into an icecold fizz-glass over ice. Top up with cava. Garnish with lemon zeste.

Come and try our Rhubard Sherry Cobbler!

Cobblers are an American invention most likely already enjoyed since the 1820’s. And since then a favorite in all warm climates! In a lot of ways this is the ultimate summer drink. Light, full of flavour, ice-cold, refreshing & energizing!

How we make it:

RHUBARB SHERRY COBBLER
1,2 cl Homemade rhubarb cordial
An orange slice
6-7 cl Manzanilla Sherry

Pour the ingredients in a julep cup with crushed ice and churn untill frost appears on the outside. pack fully with more crushed ice. Garnish with a fresh orange slice and a rhubarb candy.

Cheers !

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT! New sandwich on the menu!

Another Little Red Rooster favourite! The BLT. This no-nonsense deliciousness was most likely already enjoyed since the late 1920’s but was popularised in the 70’s. The name gives everything away. Like we said. No nonsense. Bacon, lettuce, tomato. On a sandwich.
