Reviewed cocktail menu
Coverage describes the reviewed published source. Menus may change; check the official website for current information.
Pink Pear Spritz
Super pretty, but sometimes underrepresented, we’ve exploded out prickly pear with really great green tea alongside the fruitiness of Lalo blanco tequila for a Spritz with full summer deliciousness over a one-dimensional bittersweet profile
Lalo tequila, prickly pear, sencha green tea, apple, bubbles
$22
Double Passion Mizuwari
Very stripped back, but dialing up passionfruit flavours to the max with some careful layering from two different sources to create a complex yet smashable iced tea
Grey Goose vodka, passion fruit whey, passion berry aperitif, elderflower cold brew
$22
Celery Daisy
Super-extracted celery is lifted with aromatic peppercorns and lengthened into a London classic. Stripped back, complex, clean, green and bright
Hendrick’s gin, crystal celery, peppercorn fino, citrus
$23
Sunflower Fizz
Removing the heaviness of nut syrups by folding sunflower seeds, their flowers and marigolds into a golden fizz - pulling out all the classic botanicals found in the peoples' favourite gin
Fords gin, sunflower seed orgeat, marigold, lemon, soda
$23
Freekeh French Martini
The disco classic gets a full make over through hacking a miso process and exploding out tropical smoke flavors from an ancient grain. Serious technique in a not so serious drink
Bruichladdich & Port Charlotte whiskies, freekeh rapid miso, raspberry, sour pineapple
$24
Omakase Frappe
Florals and texture are extracted from humble rice and lengthened with a really great jasmine tea to highlight the elegant top notes of one of our favourite Japanese whiskies
Hibiki Harmony, enzyme’d sushi rice, jasmine, red amaranth, black cardamom
$25
Smoked Salsa Penicilin
Char is what arguably makes a great salsa; smoking tomatillos allows us to add extra layers of smoke on top of an agave forward take on the NY classic
Agua Mágica Mezcal, smoked tomatillos, hot honey, ginger, lime
$24
Grape + Honey Wine
Kinda wine, kinda martini. Suyo pisco’s elegance is lifted with a super quick honeysuckle ferment for an aromatic sipper
Suyo pisco, fermented honeysuckle, cocchi americano
$22
Musa Daiquiri
A killer clean daiquiri given extra complexity and length through the magic of lightly fermenting super green plantain. Herbal layers add a zestiness to this dry and bright classic
Pa’lante rum, plantain mead, chartreuse, lime
$22
White Sazerac
An All-American sazerac that pulls into a more mineral led direction to harmonise all the missing length usually found in cognac stylings. Breaking down the nutrients in coconut releases drying complexity as opposed to the usual candied decadence for a complex end of evening cocktail
Maker’s Mark, nixtamalised coconut, rye, woodruff absinthe
$24
BC3 Negroni
A beautifully aromatic version of the bittersweet classic -and celebrating the full brilliance of bees!
Condesa gin, Campari, pollen vermouth, propolis, ceylon arrack, aged honey
$23
Koji Hardshake
A whiskey sour exploded into one of our most iconic drinks
Johnnie Walker Black, Koji and Cream Sugar, Miso, Lemon
$24
Beeswax Old Fashioned
One of the Lyan Bars’ first drinks (pre White Lyan!) - wrapping the original cocktail in the golden goodness
Michter’s Whiskies, Bitters, NY State Beeswax
$24
Space Fix
A team favourite from the final Dandelyan menu, and old school French 75 elevated with fruit and veg in the best way possible
Courvoisier VSOP, yellow pepper sherry, passion fruit, bubbles
$23
Unfiltered Martini
An off-dry Martini with a rich creaminess coming from fermenting the humble potato to create a super aromatic profile - plus voted best cocktail in the UK!
Holiday vodka, really great potato
$24
Coriander Seed Gimlet
Our OG Seed Library fave - citrus zestiness without the lime
Beefeater gin, white grape, coriander seed cordial
$22
C.R.E.A.M Margarita
Milk punch but make it decadent through a margarita lens and lifted with everyone's favorite bubbles
Patrón Silver tequila, clarified cream, strawberry, cava
$23
Bone Dry Martini (NOT VEG)
A clean martini celebrating the weight of great vodka by accenting with a burgundian style flintiness to dry the drink out. Simplicity at its best
Ketel One vodka, bone tincture, lemon zest
$23
