Sir Henry Pottinger Henry Pottinger was born in County Down, Ireland,

in 1789.

Tsang, Steve. (2004). A Modern History of Hong Kong.

In 1804, he went to India to serve in the army and explored the lands between the Indus and Persia, travelling in disguise as a Muslim merchant and studying local languages, under the orders of Sir John Malcolm. In 1806, he joined the British East India Company and in 1809, he fought in the Mahratta war as a lieutenant then rising to the rank of colonel after his dangerous 1810 expedition from Nushki (Balochistan) to Isfahan (Central Persia).

He later became Resident Administrator of Sindh in 1820. Pottinger later held the same post in Hyderabad, and was created a baronet when he returned to England in 1839.

In 1841, he accepted Foreign Secretary Lord Palmerston’s offer of the post of envoy and plenipotentiary in China and superintendent of British trade.

After Pottinger led a navy to defeat Yishan at Humen, he negotiated the terms of the Treaty of Nanking (1842), which ended the First Opium War and ceded Hong Kong Island to the United Kingdom. Pottinger became the second administrator of Hong Kong (1841–1843) and then the first Governor of Hong Kong (1843–1844).

CLASSIC MAI TAI 128Havana 3 years rum, Myers’s dark rum, dry orange curaçao, orgeat syrup, fresh lime juice.

Drawing inspiration from the French Polynesia, Mai Tai translates from Tahitian to mean "Out of this World" and it is a fitting description for a holiday from the city’s hustle and bustle.

LA PALOMA (v) 128Tequila reposado, grapefruit juice, agave syrup, grapefruit soda, fresh lime.

Spanish for “dove”, this cocktail was created by the legendary Don Javier Delgado Corona, owner/bartender of La Capilla (The Chapel).

WHITE LADY 138Botanist gin, Cointreau, lemon juice.

While it is no surprise that legendary bartenders – both Harry MacElhone and Harry Craddock – lay claim to its invention, the White Lady remains a classic combination of 3 simple ingredients whereminimalism shines.

BLOOD AND SAND 138Whisky, Cherry Heering, Carpano Classico, orange juice.

Aside from James Bond and the Vesper, movies and cocktails have shared a fond relationship, as seen in this creation for the premiere of the 1922Rudolph Valentino movie, Blood and Sand.

LAST WORD 138No. 3 gin, green Chartreuse, Maraschino liqueur, lime juice.

A Prohibition-era cocktail that got its beginnings in the Detroit Athletic Club’s bar in the early 1920s. The drink was served at the bar throughout this period and was spread further afield by vaudeville performer Frank Fogarty – also known as the ‘Dublin Minstrel.’

SIDECAR 138Remy Martin VSOP, Cointreau, lemon juice, hint of simple syrup.

Invented in Paris during World War I and, named after the motorcycle sidecar, brandy has never been more fashionable over the years.

Barrel – Aged Selection

B.A. NEGRONI 158House-blended gin, Carpano Classico, Campari.

Why barrel-age? Why, if it isn’t to get:an infusion of vanillin, oxidation for nuttiness, andextraction from the wood that softensthe entire mouthfeel of this wonderful drink.Served with a piece of charred barrel wood chip.

THE GOVERNOR 158Redistilled ruby port, Carpano Classico, Havana 3 Year Old rum, hint of apricot liqueur.

Created as a tribute to Sir Henry Pottinger – the firstGovernor of Hong Kong. With the many ships thatpassed through our port, it is believed that the Spanish brought with them many fine vintages of port wine. Here we have tied these flavours with thetimeless characters of fine port.
