Food & Drinks

At Montgomery Place we pay homage to a time and a place where drinks were as cool as the person drinking them. We took inspiration from an era of greats and created a cocktail menu full of sophisticated signature drinks.

Forever Blowing Bubbles

Elegant, sophisticated & luxurious. Champagne & champagne cocktails always make the drinker feel that little bit special. The following drinks are a few of our favourites from down the years.

  • Bellini

    Bellini
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Born in 1948 at Harry's Bar in Venice, Italy. The Bellini is the handy work of legendary bar man Harry Cipriani. Reported to have been named after 15th Century Italian artist Giovanni Bellini whose work often contained a slight pink hue, just like the fantastic drink that bears his name.

  • Champagne Cocktail

    Champagne Cocktail
    --------------------------------------------------------
    One of the founding fathers of the cocktail era & almost unchanged since it was first published in the 1862 tome "The Bon Vivant's Companion" by the "Professor" Jerry Thomas. Cognac floated on top of chilled Mercier champagne & a bitters soaked sugar cube.

  • Bucks Fizz

    Bucks Fizz
    --------------------------------------------------------
    First poured sometime in 1921 at the famous Bucks Club in London. The Bucks Fizz is another classic that has hardly changed since its inception in the roaring 20's.

  • French 75

    French 75
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Named after the French 75-millimeter guns, this champagne cocktail was created during the First World War by American army officers. A smooth, but strong mix of Tanqueray gin & fresh lemon juice charged with Mercier champagne.

  • Old Cuban

    Old Cuban
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Created by Audrey Saunders, owner of the Pegu Club in New York, in 2004. This champagne Mojito has turned itself into a modern classic & is a mainstay on many a cocktail list.

Straight Up with Style

These Granddaddies of cocktail culture are our house drinks here at Montgomery Place. Instead of merely listing the ingredients (which even we admit don't make the drinks sound that great!) we've included a bit of history/folklore/patter which we hope will give you a little insight as to why these drinks have lasted so long.

  • The Martini – Montgomery Style

    The Martini – Montgomery Style
    --------------------------------------------------------
    The very personification of elegance, a drink so wrapped up in folklore & mystique that the style in which you drink it says more about your character than you can possibly imagine. The house martini is served with ice cold Tanqueray London Gin & Noilly Prat French vermouth on a 15: 1 ratio, the same ratio by which Field Marshall Montgomery liked to outnumber his opponents. We also serve them slightly smaller than you would find elsewhere but that's because we want them to remain icy cold right up until the last sip!

  • Hoffman House

    Hoffman House
    --------------------------------------------------------
    The best Martini variant, the Hoffman House, is named after New York's Hoffman House which was famous for its fantastic martinis. Plymouth gin stirred with French vermouth (5:1 ratio) & lengthened with a couple of dashes of orange bitters.

  • Martinez

    Martinez
    --------------------------------------------------------
    The forerunner to our bone dry beverage. The Martinez was reputedly invented in the late 19th Century by the "Professor" Jerry Thomas. JT tended the bar of the old Occidental Hotel in San Francisco and reputedly made the drink for a gold miner on his way to the town of Martinez, which lay forty miles to the east. A deliciously smooth mix of Real Old Tom gin, Martini Rosso vermouth, dry cherry liqueur & a dash of orange bitters.

  • Kangaroo

    Kangaroo
    --------------------------------------------------------
    The original name for the Vodka Martini, a drink that any true cocktail aficionado just cannot come to terms with! We stir ours with Uluvka Premium Vodka, but you can have it anyway you like.

  • Manhattan

    Manhattan
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Myth has it, that this great drink was created for Winston Churchill's mother at a party in New York. Now unfortunately research shows this is to be false, but it's a great story! The Manhattan was created sometime in 1870's New York City using Rittenhouse rye whiskey, sweet vermouth & bitters. Ours are made the same way

  • Sazerac Sazerac
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Created at the Sazaerac Coffee House in New Orleans sometime in the 1850's. This Big Easy classic originally called for a brand of cognac called Sazerac-de-Forge et Fils. However, around 1870 a little American aphid was chewing up vineyards all over France, including those in the cognac region. Unable to find the original ingredient, Thomas Handy (the chap in charge at the time) substituted rye whiskey for cognac and what an inspired substitution it is. So, there we have it, Sazerac Rye Whiskey, stirred with sugar & Peyshaud bitters & served straight up in an absinthe rinsed glass. Quality.

Viva La Revolución!

When the United States brought in Prohibition (1919-1932) Havana became the "must visit" destination for anyone with a hankering for something stronger than a Shirley Temple . The jet set brought with them the need for luxury hotels & great bars such as the Hotel Nacional de Cuba, The Capri & the world famous El Floridita. The drinks at these bars were made using the fantastic rums of the island & the following is a list of those classics as well as our house creations.

  • Classic Daiquiri

    Classic Daiquiri
    --------------------------------------------------------
    "We'll have what the señor from Daiquiri is having!" was the cry in the bars in Santiago de Cuba after a mining engineer named Jennings Cox first ordered the drink sometime in the late 19th Century.

  • Hemingway Special

    Hemingway Special
    --------------------------------------------------------
    The world heavyweight champion of drinkers, Ernest Hemingway was a regular fixture in the worlds' greatest bars. His name, however, will be forever associated with Constantino Ribalaigua's creation at the El Floridita. A tantalizing mix of Havana Club, Maraschino liqueur, fresh lime & grapefruit.

  • Mary Pickford

    Mary Pickford
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Senor Ribalaigua didn't stop at one variation, although sources claim it to be Eddie Woelke; this superb drink adds fresh pineapple juice, Maraschino & Grenadine to the delightful Havana Club 3yr Old Rum

  • Presidente

    Presidente
    --------------------------------------------------------
    This enchanting drink consisting of Santa Teresa Selecto, sweet vermouth & orange curacao was created by the unknown bartender at Vista Alegre in Havana in 1920 in honour of the then Cuban President General Mario García Menocal.

  • Thrilla in Vanilla

    Thrilla in Vanilla
    --------------------------------------------------------
    An in house creation inspired by the Mojito. Vanilla infused Santa Teresa Gran Reserve rum, smashed fresh cranberries, lime juice & mint leaves, churned over crushed ice & topped with soda.

  • Silver Pine

    Silver Pine
    --------------------------------------------------------

  • El Rey

    El Rey
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Another Dusk's creation. This one owes it origins to the Daiquiri & uses Chairman's Reserve Rum, fresh rhubarb & vanilla syrups.

. . . . .

It's a Rum Jungle Out There!

The following drinks fully illustrate the joys of rum. We've got blended drinks, we've got Tiki drinks, we've got shaken drinks, hell, we've even got a Piña Colada! Each of these drinks is made with some of the best rums that we could find, so kick back & enjoy the Montgomery Place lu-au!

  • Mai Tai

    Mai Tai
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Trader Vic, 1944, Oakland California. The Trader's greatest triumph was & is the Mai Tai, an incredible mix of Appleton VX Rum, orange curacao liqueur, orgeat syrup & fresh lime. Superb.& the name? "Mai Tai Roa Ae"! Translation, Out of this World! The Best!

  • Missionary's Downfall

    Missionary's Downfall
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Ernest Raymond Beaumont-Gant a.k.a Donn the Beachcomber is the king of rum cocktails & the father of Tiki. Donn Beach invented literally 100's of rum drinks, including this delicious blend of Santa Teresa Gran Reserve rum, honey, peach liqueur, fresh pineapple & mint. So don your Panama hat & take a load off!

  • The Knickerbocker

    The Knickerbocker
    --------------------------------------------------------
    This granddaddy of rum cocktails doesn't have the tropical history of our other drinks, but it is the oldest. Invented sometime in the mid 19th Century New York, The Knickerbocker tastes so good that we had to include it. Appleton V/X rum, orange Curacao, raspberry flavours & fresh lemon.

  • Piña Colada

    Piña Colada
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Created by Ramon "Monchito" Marrero & his team in 1954 at the Caribe Hilton Hotel, Puerto Rico. The Piná Coloda IS retro cool!

  • Queens Park Swizzle

    Queens Park Swizzle
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Invented at the Queens Park Hotel, Port of Spain, Trinidad. A close relative of the Mojito, the QPS swaps Havana Club for Angostura 1919 rum & includes the brand's famous bitters. Stirred until frosty cold, the Queens Park Swizzle is a must for those lazy summer nights.

  • 100% Brazilian

    100% Brazilian
    --------------------------------------------------------
    An in-house creation owing its roots to the Brazilian classic the Batida. Fresh pineapple, passion fruit & mango blended with Abelha cachaca. The perfect way to begin your evening.

  • Original Sin

    Original Sin
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Created by MP Bartender Ago Perrone for the 2005 Wray & Nephew Cocktail Competition. A Jamaican inspired creation using Wray & Nephew, fresh orange & grapefruit & cinnamon sugar with a cherry brandy float.

  • Rio Bravo

    Rio Bravo
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Another in-house creation utilising the Brazilian spirit Cachaca, the Rio Bravo was created with the daiquiri in mind. Fresh ginger smashed with almond syrups & shaken with Germana cachaca & fresh lime, finished with a lick of orange.

  • Relight My Fire

    Relight My Fire
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Influenced by Jamaica, Relight My Fire mixes Chairman's Reserve rum & Tahitian ginger liqueur with fresh red chilli, vanilla sugar & lime to produce a sweet & spicy ode to the Caribbean Islands.

  • Love & Day

    Love & Day
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Originally christened "Pineapple Head". This drink combines Goslings Black Seal rum, fresh pineapple, lemon juice & maple syrup to give us a drink too good to be known by its original name!

. . . . .

Songs of Citrus

The following drinks are some of the tastiest we serve here at Montgomery Place. They are cool, elegant & as the title suggests filled with the fresh flavours of citrus. The classics have been around for generations & our inspired offerings were created with the great masters in mind. Sit back & enjoy.

  • White Lady

    White Lady
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Paris, 1923. Harry's New York Bar served some of the best drinks in 1920's Western Europe, with this delicious mix of Plymouth gin, Triple Sec, fresh lemon juice & egg white being one of the favourites.

  • Pegu Club

    Pegu Club
    --------------------------------------------------------
    The fellows of the Pegu Club in 1930's Rangoon, Burma, liked nothing better than sipping on this sublime mix of Tanqueray gin, orange Curaçao, fresh lime juice & a dash of bitters. Cool, Clean & Crisp, just like the chaps' uniforms.

  • Aviation

    Aviation
    --------------------------------------------------------
    This elegant blend of Plymouth gin, maraschino liqueur & fresh lemon juice first appeared in the Savoy cocktail book in 1930. The Aviation really is style in a glass.

  • Bebbo Cocktail

    Bebbo Cocktail
    --------------------------------------------------------
    A Prohibition mix of Whitley Neill gin, honey & fresh lemon & orange juices makes for a delicious cocktail with just the right balance of citrus & sweet, despite the bizarre name.

  • Caipirinha

    Caipirinha
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Roughly translated, the Caipirinha means "peasant's drink" & probably came about as it's just so easy to make… & drink! Abelha cachaca, muddled with cane sugar & lime wedges.

  • Pisco Sour

    Pisco Sour
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Although the Pisco Sour has been seen on cocktail lists since the 30's, it really came back in vogue in the early 90's. Mixed with sugar, freshly squeezed lemon juice & a garnish of Peruvian bitters, it produces a drink that is quite literally heaven in a glass.

  • Brandy Crusta

    Brandy Crusta
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Created in the mid 19th Century in New Orleans by Joseph Santini, a great bartender & restauranteur, the Brandy Crusta first appeared in text in Jerry Thomas's 1862 Bartenders Guide. It's the presentation of this mix of H by Hine Cognac, a dash of maraschino, fresh lemon juice & bitters that really stand out!

  • Café del Mar Cosmo

    Café del Mar Cosmo
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Created for the 2004 Champion of Champions Cocktail Competition. This take on the New York classic, uses infused lemon vodka & pomme verte liqueur smashed with fresh watermelon, lime & apple & cranberry juices.

  • West Side Cocktail

    West Side Cocktail
    --------------------------------------------------------

  • Here Comes the Son

    Here Comes the Son
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Hendricks Gin mixed with ruby red grapefruit & elderflower cordial. Created on Wednesday, May 4th 2005. Can't think why that date sticks in the mind……

  • Dusk Til Dawn

    Dusk Til Dawn
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Runner Up in the 2004 Courvoisier Cocktail Competition, the Dusk til Dawn takes it's inspiration from the Sidecar by mixing the citrus flavours of orange, lemon & mandarin.

  • Tricolore

    Tricolore
    --------------------------------------------------------

. . . . .

Vertigo

The Vertigo section of our drinks list covers those long, cool drinks that we all love to down come summertime. We have chosen a few of our favourite classics as well as some in-house creations that perfectly fit with the ethos of Montgomery Place.

  • Singapore Sling

    Singapore Sling
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Originally created by Mr. Ngiam Tong Boon for Raffles Hotel in Singapore sometime in the early 20th Century. The exact recipe is a mystery since the original 1915 version was lost about 70 years ago! We use Beefeater Gin, Cherry Heering, Triple Sec, Benedictiné, pineapple & lemon juices, angostura & soda. Truly a classic drink & worthy of a place on any cocktail list.

  • South Side Fizz

    South Side Fizz
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Another classic from the gentlemen of The American Bar at the Savoy in London. A gorgeously feather light mix of Tanqueray gin, fresh lemon juice, mint leaves & sugar all charged with ice cold soda.

  • Dark & Stormy

    Dark & Stormy
    --------------------------------------------------------
    The national drink of Bermuda. The history of this drink is not exactly clear; what we do know is that the Gosling Bros, of Hamilton, started blending their special formula of dark rums sometime around 1860 & that the British Navy owned a ginger beer bottling plant in the region between 1860-1920. I think we can imagine the rest! Anyway, this delicious mix of Goslings Black Seal rum, fresh lime juice & ginger beer is the result & what a result it is!

  • Americano

    Americano
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Created in Florence by the unknown bartender sometime in late 19th Century. The Americano is the Italian version of the classic American Highball. Equal parts of Campari & Martini Rosso, topped with soda & garnished with an orange slice.

  • Gin Gin Mule

    Gin Gin Mule
    --------------------------------------------------------
    A modern day classic, created by Ms Audrey Saunders, owner of the Pegu Club in New York. A spicy gin Mojito, the Gin Gin calls for Bombay Saphire gin, fresh lime, fresh mint & ginger beer. Served long & delicious!

  • Thai Flower Cooler

    Thai Flower Cooler
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Winner of the 2004 South London Cocktail Competition. This tantalizing mix of lemongrass infused vodka, elderflower cordial, bitters & bitter lemon, takes its inspiration from the classic V&T & delivers a perfectly balanced summer time cooler.

  • Long White Cloud

    Long White Cloud
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Our marmite drink! And created by Dusk old boy Ant Sutherland. You either love it or hate it, but this kiwi-esque mix of Feijoa vodka, fresh coriander, elderflower, pears & apples wowed the judges at the 2004 Drinks International Cocktail Competition.

  • Seriously Spring

    Seriously Spring
    --------------------------------------------------------
    A simple drink based on the classic Tom Collins. Bombay Sapphire gin shaken with fresh watermelon, elderflower & lemon charged with ice cold soda. Perfect for a lazy afternoon.

  • Bitter Sweet Symphony

    Bitter Sweet Symphony
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Our homage to the Americano. House infused orange vodka & Campari served long with muddled raspberries & lime pieces, all topped off with ice cold tonic water.

The delights of Tequila are probably unknown to the vast majority of the UK's drinking population, who choose to treat this fantastic spirit as a form of alcoholic mouthwash. Well, we're here to change all that! Here at Montgomery Place we absolutely adore tequila & our Tres Bandidos section is all about the wonders of the agave azul whether served classically in the world's favourite cocktail, The Margarita, or mixed with new ingredients as illustrated in our inspired section.

  • Margarita

    Margarita
    --------------------------------------------------------
    The World's Favourite Cocktail. Lots of people claim to have invented this, but we like the idea that Carlos Herrera made the cocktail for a lady called Marjorie who couldn't drink anything other than tequila. Montgomery Place margaritas are served using El Jimador & Briotte triple sec, on the rocks & without a salt rim.

  • Tommy's

    Tommy's
    --------------------------------------------------------
    The Godfather of tequila is one Señor Julio Bermejo, who at San Francisco's Tommy's Mexican Restaurant serves up more than 200 brands of premium 100% agave tequila. The "Tequila Master" has created his own form of the classic drink which forgoes the orange liqueur & instead uses agave nectar to create a perfectly balanced cocktail. Mixed to perfection with Herradura Blanco Plata.

  • El Diablo

    El Diablo
    --------------------------------------------------------
    A forgotten classic, but not here at Montgomery Place. Created by the unknown bartender in Oakland, California circa 1940, the Jalisco version of the classic "rye & dry" high ball, El Jimador is mixed with fresh lime & ginger ale given a crème de cassis float.

  • Snap Dragon

    Snap Dragon
    --------------------------------------------------------
    The Snap Dragon makes use of some classic English flavours mixed with the fresh flavours of a blanco tequila. We combine together El Jimador tequila with fresh lime juice, elderflower cordial & muddled green grapes. Summer time in a glass.

  • Esencia

    Esencia
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Created by Montgomery Place's Ago Perrone & inspired by his trip to Mexico. The Esencia, mixes together El Jimador Reposado & prickly pear liqueur with fresh lemon juice & pomegranate syrup.

  • Mañana Mañana

    Mañana Mañana
    --------------------------------------------------------
    The perfect summer time cantina cooler. El Jimador Reposado tequila, woken up with orgeat almond syrup, soured with fresh lime & topped with a delicious grapefruit soda.

Acqua Vitae

Whiskey, known as "The Water of Life" is something that we here at Montgomery Place have a lot of love for! Along with gin, whiskey, in particular bourbon & rye, forms the backbone of the very earliest classic cocktails & it's those classics (& a few bartender favourites) that are the stimulation behind our Inspired offerings.

  • Old Fashioned

    Old Fashioned
    --------------------------------------------------------
    The bartender's favourite. The Old Fashioned is the perfect cocktail to illustrate the complexities of bourbon. No one's exactly sure where this drink came from, although some people claim it was invented in a Louisville members club at the turn of century, others claim that it is simply an old fashioned way of serving whiskey. We just think it tastes great, so pick your poison & your bartender will stir it down with mineral water ice, sugar & angostura bitters.

  • Mint Julep

    Mint Julep
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Another classic from the US of A & one of the first "All American" cocktails. This Kentucky speciality is definitely the drink of the Bible Belt & you can't move for them come Derby day! We take Woodford Reserve Kentucky Bourbon, mix it with fresh mint leaves & sugar & serve as long & cold as a December morning!

  • Georgian Julep

    Georgian Julep
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Hailing from the Georgian backwaters, this Julep uses cognac & peach brandy as its weapons of choice. A great tasting drink from the land of Dixie (traditional style in pewter julep cups all the way from Atlanta, Georgia).

  • Rob Roy

    Rob Roy
    --------------------------------------------------------
    The Celtic cousin to the Manhattan. The Scotch version of the American classic. We use the incredible Monkey Shoulder Triple Malt whiskey with spicy French sweet vermouth to produce a fantastic alternative to the New York favourite.

  • Blood & Sand

    Blood & Sand
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Named after the 1922 Rudolph Valentino movie, the Blood & Sand is a tantalising mix of Chivas 12yr, sweet vermouth, Cherry Heering & freshly squeezed orange juice. Definitely a case of "don't judge a book by its cover"!

  • Frisco Sour

    Frisco Sour
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Is there a city in the States that doesn't have a drink named after it?! The Frisco Sour uses the aromatic notes of Benedictine with Chivas 12yr to really lift the drink above a regular whisky sour.

  • Monkey Fashioned

    Monkey Fashioned
    --------------------------------------------------------
    The Monkey Fashioned mixes the glorious Monkey Shoulder Triple Malt whisky with Cherry Marnier, Benedictine & a dash of orange bitters.

  • Watermelon Smash

    Watermelon Smash
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Created to show off the versatility of bourbon, this mix of Woodford Reserve, lemon, mint, vanilla & watermelon is a take on the classic smash using some of the most popular flavours on the market.

  • Kentucky Apple

    Kentucky Apple
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Ago Perrone's Blue Grass version of the Moscow Mule. Buffalo Trace bourbon smashed with fresh apples & cinnamon sugar, topped with ginger beer & served long.

  • The Jordan Buck

    The Jordan Buck
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Inspired by Woodford Reserve's Mark Jordan, the Jordan Buck is the Montgomery Place version of the classic "Rye & Dry". Woodford Reserve smashed with mint & lime juice, topped with ginger ale & treated to a Cherry Marnier float.

  • East Meets West Julep

    East Meets West Julep
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Winner of the Whisky Cocktail Challenge 2005, the East Meets West is more of a smash, but hey, it tastes so good that who really cares?? Woodford Reserve shaken really, really hard with fresh pomegranate, Lebanese honey & fresh mint.
