Make your own, ‘Sour Bill’ cocktail!

An ‘Old Fashion’ is a cocktail classic, and the inspiration behind a new addition to our spring drinks menu in Marconi’s Bar. Our Head Chef, Joe, describes how ‘Whiskey has always meant fire’ ever since his ‘first ever inquisitive sip at a tender age.’

So similarly, in our own version of an Old Fashioned, a ‘Sour Bill,’ ‘we use this fire along with lemon, spice and sugar to create an explosion on your palate.’

‘We add our own spiced lemon cordial to add equally sweet and sharp notes, then simply shake through ice to chill. We serve this with more ice and the result is a cocktail which is sweet, sour, hot, spiced, with a real depth of flavour from the Whiskey.’

Try this for yourself, all you will need is;

• 50ml Bourbon

• 25ml Spiced Lemon Cordial

• 1 Squeeze of lemon juice

• Handful of ice

Shake this together and garnish however you like. We serve ours with angostura bitters, large ice cubes and burnt lemon powder.

‘This is my favourite cocktail on our menu as it’s simple yet moorish and refreshing in equal measure. Perfect after a long walk in front of a clifftop sunset...’

We are re-opening on the 17th May. Book yourself in for lunch or dinner, and don’t forget to try a cocktail! (or two).
