Summary:
It isn’t easy as it looks — we throw in Jamaican rums, pineapple juice, lemon juice, passion syrup and Angostura bitters, topping up the mixing glass with crushed ice and give it a good shake. The first one is Wind Suck (?400), a vodka-based drink, with fresh cucumber, lemon juice, honey, orange juice and lemonade. We pay keener attention to the last drink, Cribber Ascot (?450) made with white rum, dark rum, orange curaçao, orange juice, lemon juice, grenadine syrup — all of which has a smoother play on the palate. It sucks in wind,” he says, taking another empty glass to stir Stables Grog (?300), a drink named after Franky, a famous jockey. We eye this one with contempt, though one sip and we claim it a stunner: it’s loaded with vodka, Amaretto, Baileys, Kahlua, brandy, orange curaçao, milk and fresh cream..
