Sardines on the Spit - Monday 25th June

Charcoal Sardines, village salad & a glass of Protos 100% Verdejo $22* 

It's fish season, the cooler waters are naturally making fish eat more and it's the best time for us to be eating it. Especially the Oily variety such as Sardines which We will be barbequeing over a charcoal spit.

Grandma's House

Evan's been whipping up some pretty tasty spritzers in the past few weeks that we are bottling and carbonating on site. They were inspired by Jeffrey Morgenthaler, a Portland based bartender who is considered one of the pre-eminent bartenders in the world at the moment.

The most popular of the Spritzers has been the aptly named Grandma's House.

The ingredients in Grandma's house include - Finsbury overproof London dry gin (clean and classic), Fernet-Branca (an Italian digestive that's a bartender's favourite), Drambuie (dusty old fella best known for appearing in a Rusty Nail)  and St-Germain (another bartenders favourite, fragrant and delicious elderflower based liquer)

After carbonating filtered water, all the ingredients are mixed and funnelled into bottles.

A bottle caps applied and it's ready to be chilled.

And here's the finished product. It's delicious as a lunch sipper or a pre/post meal digestive.
