Kom Undan

Gin, Aquavit, St. Germain, Fernet, Nordic Berry, Lemon, Grapefruit, Bitters

Kom Undan: Swedish Verb: to escape, get away.

Tanqueray Gin, infused with a Nordic berry mix of blueberry, cranberry and haskap, blended with the caraway forward, Norwegian Aalborg Aquavit, for a bittersweet, botanical base. A scant splash of sweetly floral St. Germain is added to balance an equal measure of the intensely herbal Fernet Branca.
Shaken with a bit of freshly squeezed lemon and our house made spiced grapefruit cordial for an aromatic, tart and juicy finish.
Garnished with a Swedish Berry treat!

Escape to Barkeep and Kom Undan with us tonight!

Have you tried the Poco Loco?

Coco Butter Tequila, Averna, Chocolate Liqueur, Chartreuse, Bitters, Chili

A smooth, Old Fashioned style, slow sipper.

For the cocktail, we begin by fat-washing Hornitos Reposado Tequila with cocoa butter. This process combines the velvety, creamy texture, subtile nutty, chocolate flavour and aroma of the cocoa butter, with the slightly woodsy, peppery notes of the tequila. After the cocoa butter is strained away, we add a bit of our house Cocoa Nib Liqueur and Amaro Averna to bolster the bittersweet dark chocolate undertones. A splash of Green Chartreuse is added for a complex, sweetly herbal depth of flavour. Finished with a dash of Aztec Chocolate Bitters, Cinnamon Tincture and just enough Thai Chili Tincture to make your tongue tingle. 😋🥃

Try one tonight!

First Date Punch!

Dark Rum, Montenegro, Amaretto, Dates, Licor 43, Pineapple, Cinnamon, Clarified Milk, Egg White Foam

A silky smooth milk punch, with flavours inspired by rum-soaked Sticky Toffee Pudding.

The First Date Punch is two cocktails in one! The bottom layer is rich, velvety and boozy with date syrup, Goslings Overproof Dark Rum, herbal Amaro Montenegro, sweet Amaretto and pineapple juice, while the Licor 43 infused foam layer is light and airy, with flavors of fresh lemon and spiced vanilla.

We know the clarified milk part of this beverage may require further explanation, as this cocktail is not creamy at all.
Clarified milk isn't as weird as it sounds, it's an age-old method of stabilizing cocktails for longevity. The cocktail itself is NOT creamy. You absolutely wouldn't know this cocktail had milk in it.
All of the milk solids get fine-strained away, along with any other pigment, cloudiness, fruit pulp or pith, leaving a clear, silky smooth, flavour packed beverage!
The process of clarification takes a long time to achieve, but you can't argue with the result! Delicious!

Try one tonight!

Try the Money Tree!

Cachaça, White Rum, Bénédictine, Banana, Lime, Macadamia Orgeat, Coconut Milk, Rosewater, Mint Leaves

A Tiki inspired cocktail with rich depth of flavour!

We've infused Brazilian Cachaça (a clear cane spirit) with ripe bananas for the backbone of this drink. Mixed with Havana Club White Rum for its smooth, tropical notes, and Bénédictine for a hint of candied citrus and baking spice. Shaken with a splash of creamy coconut milk, fresh squeezed lime, and our house made Macadamia Nut Orgeat- a sweet, rich and savoury syrup.
Finished with a crisp mint bouquet, spritzed with fragrant rosewater.

Give the Money Tree a shake tonight at Barkeep!

Fun Fact:
Macadamia nuts symbolize abundance, prosperity, and hospitality in Hawaiian culture, often gifted to represent goodwill. 💰 🌴 🐿️

Have you tried the Wanderer's Journal?

Pisco, Campari, Lychee Liqueur, Cherry Liqueur, Absinthe, Lavender, Bitters

For this cocktail we combine El Gobernador Pisco - a clear, Chilean spirit, with crisp, boozy floral notes, Campari - a bittersweet Italian digestif, with intense flavours of candied orange rind, SoHo - a smooth, French, lychee liqueur with tropical notes of rose petal and ripe fruit, and a spoonful of Luxardo Sangue Morlacco Cherry Liqueur - for its deeply sweet, tart black cherry flavour.
Stirred with a dash of Hill's Absinthe, for a lingering hint of wormwood, coriander and anise seed. Served straight-up, garnished with a brandy soaked amerena cherry, and spritzed with Lavender Bitters, for an ethereal aroma upon sipping.

The Wanderer's Journal drinks bittersweet and boozy, akin to a Negroni, with it's sharp edges rounded by fruit and flowers.

Try one tonight!
