Cider Brandy - Beetroot Molasses - Dorset Oak - Sonic Aged

Our twist on a timeless classic, using new modern exciting techniques to fast age our drink. The technique involves utilising a machine which emits sound waves that break down flavour components. This allows the components to break down and pass through alcohol. Beetroot plays a big role in the drink  as once reduced over a long period of time it turns into an interesting, thick syrup. These two are then blended and aged in Dorset charred oak for 5 minutes replicating what would be 7 weeks in a barrel ageing method.

Tequila Blend - Fermented Tomato Water

Our twist on a Margarita is a great example of how closely our bar and kitchen work together. Our pan con tomate uses lovely juicy tomato from the Isle of White and grates them to spread on some toasted bread. We then take the tomato water drained off and ferment it for 2 weeks to give it some zing then mix with a little sugar and citric acid. The essential addition of tequila giving bright agave, pepper and creaminess.  Finished of with a few drops of Dorset Sea Salt solution & a shard of fruit leather made from the discarded tomato skins.

Terroir Gin - Vermouth - Fig Leaf - Pickles

This little aperitif is a great way to start a meal. Made with our House Organic gin made by the guys down at Conker and delivered in bulk in reusable packaging, a simple homemade vermouth using any wasted wine from our taps and finished with a drop of fig leaf oil from a local garden.
