Our Passport to Old Europe cocktail menu celebrates the golden age of the European voyage, when travel by train, boat and later, plane, was the height of glamour.
Evoking the spirited adventure of international travel from the 1920s – 1960s, each serve offers a passport to a different country’s heyday. Think a playful interpretation of Italy’s classic Negroni, an earthy homage to the gentle refinement of a Viennese café or a fiery serve that conjures Spain’s flamenco culture.
