THE LIQUIDCHEFS

AT ESQ

Taking inspiration from the Victorian era, our resident mixologists and their team have created signature cocktails based on influences during the Victorian times in the City.

The Victorian era undeniably left its mark on London. Queen Victoria herself was born at Kensington Palace

and several London landmarks were constructed during that period including Big Ben, Tower Bridge, the Victoria

and Albert Museum, The Natural History Museum and The Science Museum.

That era also saw the re-emergence of gin’s reputation. The harsh, sweetened “Old Tom” styles of gin of the early

1700s slowly gave way to a new cleaner style called Dry Gin.

This style of gin became identified with the City of London to the extent that the term “London Dry Gin” became a generic

term for the style, regardless of where it was distilled.

The bar team’s modern approach and innovative techniques will contribute to a memorable experience.

THE MONARCH13.5

Barrel-aged in-house, this bourbon-based cocktail is inspired by Queen Victoria’s first trip to the Highlands in 1842.

House-aged bourbon, Maraschino, Amaretto (Intense & slightly sweet, oaky, medium bodied)

LE GIN ENGOUEMENT13.5

The gin craze, as described by the French during the Victorian era. Refreshing botanicals and dry gin are your main protagonists.

Gin, basil & cucumber foam, ginger, mint (Refreshing & strong)

CLOCK 0’5913.5

The most iconic of all landmarks, London Clock Tower, now known as Big Ben was built in 1959. Clock O’59 takes inspiration from two

of the most iconic London dry gins.

Dry gin & sloe gin, passionfruit, Champagne foam (Fruity & citrus)

THE CHALK 13.5

Discovered by a Russian chemist during the Victorian times, evaporated milk is the source of inspiration for this

rum-based cocktail.

Rum, evaporated milk, coconut, homemade basil soda (Creamy & refreshing)

SIGNATURE COCKTAILS

WA-XANDER 13.5

Built in the 1870s, 100 Queen’s Gate was the former home of Victorian aristocrat, William Alexander. Oozing sophistication and finesse,

this cocktail is the perfect homage to him.

Whisky, chocolate liqueur, Baileys (Creamy, chocolatey & easy drinking)

FLORIOGRAPHY 13.5

Inspired by events where Victorians used flowers & herbs as symbols in a “language of flowers” (also called floriography).

Rosemary-infused tequila, Cointreau, cranberry, passionfruit (Tangy, intense & fruity)

COCKTAIL OF THE DAY

SMOKED NOZZER 13.5

A Nozzer was a term given to new recruits in the Victorian Royal Navy who, being new to commands, would say ‘no sir’ which was eventually

shortened to ‘Nozzer’.

Spiced rum, homemade walnut syrup, smoked hickory, cardamom bitters (Smoky, nutty, intense & rich with sweet notes)

SIGNATURE COCKTAILS

Mixologists are challenged to create something unique, daily. The challenge is offered from 19:00 – 21:00.

VERMOUTH &

APÉRITIFS

Vermouths, other aperitifs and digestifs have been a constantly popular part of the drink world for decades. Drunk on their own

or used as cocktail ingredients, they are versatile and flavoursome drinks that deserve further exploration.

WHAT IS VERMOUTH?Vermouth is an aromatised fortified wine, made by adding botanicals to wine

which has had spirit added to it. They are usually around 15%-20% alcohol by volume (ABV) and come in a variety of different styles.

Sweet vermouth – often called sweet red vermouth or vermouth rosso, as the most popular ones have a deep red colour, or Italian vermouth,

after the country where the style was popularised.

Dry vermouth – a key ingredient of the Martini cocktail, these white vermouths are less commonly drunk neat, but can be a refreshing aperitif.

AMAROThe Italian for ‘bitter’, amaro is a herbal liqueur that is usually drunk as a digestif. Produced by macerating herbs and spices in alcohol,

then bottled at around 30% ABV.

BAROLO CHINATOCinchona bark is steeped in Barolo wine (a full-bodied red made from the Nebbiolo grape) and flavoured with herbs and spices to produce

a full-bodied robust digestif around 16% ABV.

FERNETFernet is an extra-bitter style of amaro, produced by adding herbs

and spices to spirit, and usually bottled at around 40% ABV.

GINGin is, at its simplest, a spirit flavoured with a variety of botanicals,

with the predominant flavour being juniper. Despite that simple start, it is a spirit with a long and turbulent history, as well as a vibrant

present and future.

Gin has always been a popular drink in Britain, and spread during the reign of the British Empire and then beyond to all corners of the globe. Many gins are now tailored to the taste of the localities where they are consumed, leading to a wide range of styles, flavours and

ingredients, from the historical to the ultra-modern.

JENEVERThe ancestor of modern gin, jenever is produced in Belgium and the Netherlands, where it is still extremely popular. There are three main types of jenever; jonge (meaning young), oude (old), and korenwijn

(corn wine). Originally invented around the middle of the 18th century, jenever is a blend of two ingredients: malt-wine and neutral spirits.

Juniper has been used for more than 1,000 years as a medicine to treat rheumatism, arthritis, loss of appetite (as well as

overactive appetite) and gout.

London Dry Gin can be made anywhere in the world.

If you are making a Martini, then you must use gin. If you make your drink using vodka, you have actually

created a classic cocktail called a Kangaroo.

VODKAVodka is much more interesting than it might appear to the casual observer. Scrape beneath the surface and you’ll find a spirit with a rich and diverse history, made from a variety of raw materials, each

of which affect the finished product’s final taste, and sometimes flavoured with quite a bewildering array of different fruits, herbs and

spices from every corner of the globe.

Once you start to delve into the world of vodka, you’ll find a fascinating product with bags of history and a wide range of styles and flavours. The raw material used has a big effect on a finished

vodka’s taste, as does the mind-boggling variety of herbs, spices and fruits used as flavourings.

VODKA

The word ‘Vodka’ is Russian for ‘Little Water’.

Vodka sales in the US were transformed in the 1950s by the Moscow Mule cocktail (vodka, lime juice, ginger beer).

Before 1885, vodka was only sold in Russia in 12-litre buckets.

RUMThe multicoloured tapestry of rum styles spanning the Caribbean,

Central and South America is as rich as the history and culture that encircles this great spirit. From cocktail-friendly white rum, through

to mellow golden examples, to molasses-rich navy bottlings, no other drink spans such a spectrum of colours and flavours.

If rum’s most obvious manifestation is a clear spirit diluted with coke or submerged in a Mojito, its identity is harder to pin down. From fiery over-proof to complex, sipping-only pot still, each country and every distillery has its own inimitable take on this most versatile of spirits.

AGED RUM

Made using the first pressing of sugar cane juice, zacapa is matured at an altitude of 2,300m above sea level in Guatemala

Bacardi was produced in Cuba from its inception in 1862 until Fidel Castro seized power in 1959. Most of its rum is now made in Puerto

Rico, but the Bacardi building – topped by its distinctive ‘bat’ sculpture – remains one of the finest art deco structures in Havana.

TEQUILABeyond shots, slammers and hangovers, Tequila is a remarkable drink

which can express the nuances of its raw material arguably better than any other spirit on the planet. The key to its unique flavour is the spikily distinctive blue agave plant, which gives Tequila its trademark flavour

combination of fruit, pepper and spice.

Everyone knows Tequila – or at least they think they do. But there’s so much more to this world-class spirit than headaches and nausea from ill-advised drinking sessions. It’s subtle, distinctive and, in its finest form, as complex and worthy of contemplation as any fine

Cognac or single malt.

The blue agave plant is not a cactus, despite its spiky appearance; instead, agave tequilana is a succulent that more

closely resembles a lily.

According to regulator Organisation Consejo Regulador Del Tequila, there were 150 distilleries making Tequila in 2013, and no fewer than

1,377 registered brands.

Roughly 85% of all Tequila is consumed in Mexico and the United States, with the latter accounting for 75% of export sales.

COGNAC BRANDYFor the past three centuries, Cognac has been almost universally

recognised as the finest of all the spirits that are distilled from grapes. It has many incomparable qualities: fruitiness, subtlety of bouquet,

intensity, warmth and, above all, the complexity of the many thousands of styles and flavours from a (predominantly) single grape variety.

About 80 miles or so north of Bordeaux lies the two picture-postcard towns of Cognac and Jarnac, the heart of the Cognac industry. The

region, stretching from La Rochelle in the north to Royan in the west and Angoulême in the east, is home to nearly 6,000 grape growers who

supply white wine for distillation, predominantly made with the Ugni Blanc variety (aka Trebbiano).

Cognac has several categories, which reflect the time each one has spent in barrel.

VS (‘Very Special’) Cognacs must contain eaux-de-vie no younger than two years old

VSOPs (‘Very Superior Old Pale’) must be at least four years old

XO (‘Extra Old’), as well as bottles labelled ‘Napoléon’, ‘Extra’ and ‘Hors d’âge’, it’s six years, although this will rise to 10 years from 2018

(with the exception of Napoléon).

In practice, most of the XO Cognacs contain eaux-de-vie much, much older than the legal minimum.


The equivalent of 20 million bottles of Cognac are lost each year due to evaporation (‘The Angel’s Share’).

Just 3% of all Cognac produced is drunk in France.

If you visit the Cognac region, you’ll come across warehouses covered in what looks like black soot. This is actually a fungus, Torula

Compniacensis, that feeds on the evaporating Cognac vapours.

SCOTTISH FINE BLENDED WHISKY

Roughly nine out of ten bottles of Scotch sold around the world are blends – that is, a mix of grain and single malt whiskies. These products are the lifeblood of the industry and the liquid expression of an art form that borders on alchemy: combining myriad components to create one

harmonious and consistent whole.

JAPANESE WHISKYThe early years of Japanese whisky are dominated by two men: Masataka

Taketsuru and Shinjiro Torii. Taketsuru was famously sent to Scotland in 1918 to learn about whisky-making, studying in Glasgow and getting

hands-on experience in Speyside and Campbeltown before returning to Japan with a head full of facts and a Scottish wife!

When he joined forces with Torii in about 1921, Taketsuru’s vision was to build a distillery on the remote northern island of Hokkaido – the part of the country he thought most mirrored Scotland. However, Torii feared

this was too far from the main markets of central Honshu, vetoed the idea and instead built Yamazaki on the outskirts of Kyoto in 1923.

Johnnie Walker, the world’s best-selling whisky, sold more than 20 million nine-litre cases in 2013 – equivalent to more

IRISH WHISKEYThe Irish may have been the first distillers in the British Isles and, for a brief period in the 19th century, Irish whiskey reigned supreme over

its Scottish rival. Boom was followed by bust – and near extinction – but today the good times are back, with distilleries popping up all

over the Emerald Isle.

ENGLISH WHISKYPlenty of English whisky was produced in the 19th century, but

when the stills of the Lea Valley Distillery fell silent in 1903, nothing happened for almost a century. Now, whisky is being made from

Cornwall to Cumbria.

FRENCH WHISKYFrance is whisky central: no country on the planet drinks more Scotch. But the whisky producers are, for the most part, doing

something very different to the distillers of Speyside – something, somehow, defiantly ‘French’.

Armorik Maître De Chai Batch 3 Lannion 18


Jameson was produced at the Bow Street Distillery in Dublin from 1780 until 1975, when it relocated to the new Midleton

Distillery in Cork.

INDIAN WHISKYIndia is ostensibly a huge whisky-drinking nation – the biggest

of them all if you look at the bare consumption figures – but nearly all the domestic ‘whisky’ produced here is dominated by molasses-derived spirit (and therefore, according to EU

legislation, not whisky at all).

Amrut Fusion 18


Eight of the top ten bestselling whiskies in the world are Indian.

India’s climate means more water evaporates during maturation than in Scotland so the alcohol by volume rises.

Indian whisky sold outside the EU is usually made mainly of molasses (like rum!).

SCOTTISH SINGLE MALTS

Malt whisky is the ‘original’ whisky of Scotland. Malt whisky is made only from malted barley, in two (occasionally three) copper

pot stills, by a batch process. ‘Single’ malt whisky is the product of an individual distillery.

AMERICAN WHISKEYWhiskey is made across America, from Washington to Virginia. From sweet Tennessee whiskies to spicy

rye and unaged corn, the country uses a wide variety of grains in whiskey production.

Balcones Texas 25

Other styles of American whiskey include single malt, blended and flavour infusions, as well as those made by craft or micro-distilleries

which do not fit into any of the above categories for various production reasons.

Produced using a mash of 51%-80% corn, and aged in new, charred white-oak barrels, bourbons display the sweeter style

associated with American whiskey.

BOURBON

Made from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred-oak barrels, these differ from bourbon in two ways: they must be made in the state of

Tennessee, and generally use the Lincoln County Process, whereby the whiskey is filtered through maple charcoal before bottling. The prime example of this

is Jack Daniel’s, whose iconic No.7 bottling is famous the world over.

Made from a mash of at least 51% rye and aged in new charred-oak barrels, these are spicier and fuller-bodied than bourbons, making an excellent alternative to bourbon in the classic Old Fashioned cocktail.

CANADIAN WHISKYAlthough it shares certain characteristics with Scotch whisky and bourbon, Canadian whisky has a style all of its own, thanks to a

unique means of production and the influence – sometimes subtle, sometimes obvious – of rye. And, if prohibition nearly killed American

whiskey, it helped Canadian distillers to thrive.
