FEBRUARYFashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable we

have to alter it every six monthsOscar Wilde(English playwright and author)

After the seemingly never ending snow, the winter must surely be

drawing to a close. Thankfully there are two happy events in February

to counter the hardships of the weather.

The rst, fashion week, has given us inspiration for this months

drinks list, which contains many a nod to the glamorous world of

the runway.

The second: Perus national Pisco Day, which is a merry excuse for a

Pisco Sour and though there are many versions, weve chosen a lovely

recipe.

Were shutting up shop for a short while this month, from the day after

Valentines for ten long dry days, but when well be back well have

undergone a transformation as beautiful as that of a buttery from acaterpillar.

Until there, here are twelve cocktails and six mixed drinks and se-

lected spirits for you to explore and savour, and if youd like, heres a

toast to accompany them:There are good ships, and there are wood

ships, The ships that sail the sea. But the best ships, are friend-

ships, And may they always be.

SILK STOCKING 125,-

From the prohibition era comes this unlikely but gorgeous libation.

An after dinner drink or just something a touch sweet and creamy,

they dont make em like this anymore..

ITALIAN SOUR 125,-

This cocktail takes the triumvirate of Italian liqueurs, Galliano,

Strega and Campari, and adds a careful balance of lemon and sugar;

we then shake it like we mean it to aerate it til its lighter than air.

On the palette expect a thrilling combination of bitter sweet with

herbaceous and vanilla notes from the Galliano.

FASHIONISTA 2.0 125,-

Vanilla-infused sugar, limoncello and Liquor 43 are shaken up and

charged with a healthy measure of champagne. Dedicated to two of

the most fashionable ladies in CPH, this is our nod to the glamorous

world of the runway.

20TH CENTURY COCKTAIL 125,-

This cocktail was rst shook up way back when in 1939 to com-

memorate the new engine car for the Twentieth Century Limited

train between New York and Chicago, back when bartenders dedi-

cated drinks to train engines. Gin, Lillet, lemon and cacao delicately

balanced by our steady hands.

COCKTAILS 01


6/17

KANGAROO 145,-

The Kangaroo is a beautiful beverage made in the godly image of the

martini, only with the bravely heretic substitution of vodka for gin.

Ours is made with the delicious and rich Potocki vodka from Poland

with a long dash of French, and stirred until its as cold as can be

and served with either olives or a choice of twists: lemon, grapefruit

or orange.

BOBBY BURNS 145,-

Named for the famed poet of Scotland and with as much romanti-

cism, the Bobby Burns is an inspiring cocktail. We make ours withthe very best Lowland Scotch nished in three different casks,

Auchentoschan Three Wood, and stirred with nest Italian vermouth

and a lick of Benedictine.

GINGER COCKTAIL 125,-

Bare and beautiful simplicity, the ginger cocktail is a sublime drink.

You like ginger? Youll love this. We take two parts vodka and one

part of our house made ginger syrup, exactingly balanced with the

freshest lime juice possible.

DR. COCKTAIL 125,-

A forgotten cocktail from the 1930s, this cocktail was originally a get

well remedy, but its so darn delicious we think its worthy of a spot

on our menu, combining Angostura 1919 rum and fragrant Swedish

Punsch in a classic recipe that rmly hits the spot.

PISCO SOUR 115,-

Being that the National Pisco Sour day of Peru falls on the rst Satur-

day of February, what better month to showcase this delectable liba-

tion? Years ending in a zero are of especial importance so if you have

only one Pisco Sour this decade, youd better have it now...

OLD CUBAN COCKTAIL 125,-

This cocktail by the fair hand of Audrey Saunders (Pegu Club NY) is

a magnicent twist on the Cuban classic, the mojito, taking the basis

of a mojito, shaking it up and charging it with champagne. A simple

but brilliant twist on a perennial favourite.

BLOODY MARY 115,-

Every bartender insists they make the best Bloody Mary. We think

ours puts our bar on the map. This month we are making them by

infusing our spice mix with fresh jalapeno peppers and rolled until

cold yet keeping the fruit pectin still thick, its the way we make em

thatll keep you coming back for more!

GOLDRUSH 125,-

If youve had Bourbon Sours and liked them, youre ready for your

upgrade now. Bourbon, honey syrup and lemon, shaken until icy and

served on a single rock of hand carved river frozen ice. Heavenly.
