The Cabinet

twenty cocktails, already mixed, waiting in the fridge
How this menu works. Every drink lives pre-mixed in its own bottle — one in the freezer, the rest in the fridge. Nothing is watered down, so the ice in your glass does the diluting. This page pours straight from the bottle; the second page needs half a lemon or lime and about ninety seconds.

Pour over ice · nothing to add

Stir 90 ml with ice for twenty seconds, strain over one big cube. That stir is the recipe — skip it and the drink tastes hot.
Old Pal
bourbon · Campari · dry vermouth
Bitter, dry and bracing — grapefruit-rind bitterness over the bourbon, with none of a Negroni's sweetness.
90 ml stirred, one big cube · orange peel, expressed over the top.
Fuzzy Manhattan
bourbon · peach schnapps · sweet vermouth · bitters
A Manhattan with stone fruit underneath. The peach reads as ripeness rather than candy.
90 ml stirred, big cube or straight up · orange peel or a cherry.
Dark & Bénédictine
Jamaican rum · B&B · bitters
The strongest thing here, about 40%. Funky molasses rum against honey, herbs and brandy.
90 ml, give it a full 20 seconds · orange peel.
Coco Loco Old Fashioned
dark rum · coconut rhum agricole · crème de banane · bitters
Dry and nutty rather than tropical — grassy agricole coconut, banana right at the back.
90 ml stirred, one big cube · orange peel and a grating of nutmeg.
Chrysanthemum
dry vermouth · B&B · a whisper of pastis
Herbal and faintly aniseed, and only about 17% — more aperitif than cocktail.
90 ml stirred, strained into a chilled coupe · orange twist.

Barrel aged · American oak

Rested in small American oak barrels — some first fill, some second or third — then bottled at full strength in 375 ml. The oak rounds every edge, so these taste older and softer than their proof suggests. Pour and stir exactly like the drinks above.
Boulevardier
bourbon · Campari · sweet vermouth · batch 3, Oct 2025
The longest in wood and the one to open first. Sweet vermouth and oak together sand the Campari down to warm bitter orange.
90 ml stirred, one big cube · orange peel.
Grand Manhattan
bourbon · Carpano Antica · Grand Marnier · Angostura · 2026
A Manhattan with the cherry swapped for orange. Grand Marnier's cognac base is the rare orange liqueur that survives a barrel, so it reads as peel and weight rather than candy.
90 ml stirred, up in a chilled coupe · orange peel.
De La Louisiane
bourbon · Carpano Antica · Bénédictine · absinthe · Peychaud's · 2026
The New Orleans classic, rebalanced toward the vermouth: honeyed herbs and anise, Peychaud's turning it red, closer to a Manhattan with herbal lift than the equal-parts original.
90 ml stirred, big cube or up · lemon peel, or a cherry.
Ginger Smoked Old Fashioned
bourbon · ginger · bitters, smoked before bottling · Aug 2026
Smoke and ginger heat over an Old Fashioned frame. The smoke has had months to settle into the wood, so it reads as campfire rather than ashtray.
90 ml stirred, one big cube · orange peel. No second smoking.
Aberlour Manhattan
Aberlour Speyside single malt · sweet vermouth · bitters · Aug 2026
A Manhattan built on sherried Scotch instead of rye — dried fruit and malt where the spice would be. Sip this one slowly.
90 ml stirred, up in a chilled coupe · orange peel.

The rest of the fridge

a squeeze of citrus, a freezer pour, and dessert
Citrus goes in last. These bottles hold everything except the juice, because citrus dies within a day and the rest keeps for six months. So: 75 ml from the bottle, 22 ml squeezed to order, shaken hard with ice. One lemon gives about 45 ml, one lime about 30 ml, so a single fruit covers two drinks. Never the bottled stuff; it tastes cooked.

Shake with lemon

Aviation
gin · crème de violette · triple sec
Floral and tart — violet and a little cherry over juniper, the colour of a bruised orchid.
75 ml + 22 ml lemon + a teaspoon of simple syrup. Shake, strain into a coupe.
Dover Bramble
vodka · cassis · crème de violette
Blackcurrant with a floral top note, sharpened by lemon and lengthened with soda. The most refreshing thing on the menu.
75 ml + 22 ml lemon. Shake, pour over crushed ice, top with soda. Lemon wheel.
Paper Plane · barrel aged
bourbon · Aperol · Amaro Nonino · American oak
Equal parts bitter, sweet and amaro, and the barrel has pulled them into one thing. Bright orange against oak — the best argument on this page for squeezing a lemon.
90 ml + 30 ml lemon — three to one, as the label says. Shake hard, up in a coupe, no garnish.

Shake with lime

Mai Tai
dark & white rum · triple sec · amaretto
Rich rum, orange and almond — the amaretto stands in for orgeat, which is what orgeat is.
75 ml + 22 ml lime. Shake with crushed ice and dump the lot into the glass. Mint sprig.
Coconut Daiquiri
white rum · coconut rhum · vanilla rum
Clean and dry, the coconut arriving as a grassy note rather than a sweet one.
75 ml + 22 ml lime. Shake hard, double-strain into a coupe.
Banana Daiquiri
crème de banane · vanilla rum
Sweeter than the others and frankly tropical — the lime is doing real work, so don't skimp.
75 ml + 22 ml lime + a dash of bitters. Shake, serve over crushed ice.

Freezer & aperitivo

Night Cap Stinger
bourbon · peppermint schnapps · lives in the freezer
Viscous and very cold, the mint clean and cooling instead of sweet. It is 40% — this is the last drink of the night.
60–80 ml neat in a small chilled glass. No ice, no garnish.
House Aperitivo Spritz
Campari + Aperol, blended into one
The Aperol rounds off Campari's edge, leaving orange and rhubarb over a gentle bitter finish.
Ice to the brim, 90 ml prosecco, then 60 ml of the mix, splash of soda. Prosecco first — it layers better.

Dessert

Peppermint Patty
Kahlúa · peppermint schnapps · vodka
Coffee, chocolate and cold mint, unrepentantly a dessert.
75 ml over a glass packed with ice. Float cream in the glass, never in the bottle.
The Beachcomber
banana rum cream · Kahlúa · vanilla & coconut rum
Banana, coffee and coconut: a milkshake that could drive you home. Contains dairy — fridge only, two months.
75 ml over ice, nutmeg on top. Or blend 150 ml with cream of coconut and ice for two.
Three house rules. Stirred drinks want their twenty seconds on ice — that is the dilution, and it is not optional. Citrus gets squeezed to order, never poured from a bottle. And cream goes in the glass, never in the bottle.
