Cocktail Menu

Inspired by the three arches at the heart of our bar, our cocktail menu is designed around the rhythm of dining:
Entrées, Mains and Desserts.

Entrée: Elegant aperitif-style classics — light, aromatic and palate-awakening.

Mains: Dives into the savoury world with greater complexity, umami and layered flavour.

Dessert: Indulgent and playful flavour combination inspired by sweets and pâtisserie.

Entrée

menu
Aperitif-style cocktails designed to awaken the palate. These classics lean lighter in body and lower in sweetness, drawing inspiration from pre-dinner drinking culture. Tuxedo No.2 • 25 Gin, Dry Vermouth, Luxardo Maraschino, Absinthe A refined martini-style classic from 1800s New York, named for the storied Tuxedo Club. Gin and dry vermouth meet maraschino liqueur and a whisper of absinthe. Crisp, aromatic, gently sweet. Adonis • 25 Sweet Vermouth, Fino Sherry, Orange Bitters A classic cocktail created in the 1880s to toast Broadway’s first 500-performance hit. Sweet vermouth, fino sherry and orange bitters make a nutty, slightly bitter aperitif. French 75 • 25 Gin, Sparkling Wine, Lemon A Parisian classic born at Harry’s New York Bar during WWI, named for the field gun for its surprising kick. Gin, sparkling wine and lemon, it’s bright, elegant and deceptively easy.
