The BoulevardierFour roses small batch, campari,
cocchi di torino vermouth
— £11.00
Appeared in 1927 book “Barflies
and Cocktails” by Harry McElhone.
Obviously, this is a Negroni with
bourbon in lieu of gin. It was the
signature drink of Erskin Gwynne,
expatriate writer and editor of “The
Paris Boulevardier’’ a Parisian monthly
magazine.
The Secret
Cocktail
Tanqueray gin, apple-jack, lemon
juice, tac grenadine, egg white
— £12.00
This is a forgotten cocktail, in the truest
sense; it is cloaked in familiarity because
of its similarities to the Pink Lady cocktail.
Adding some applejack to the original
recipe made the drink immeasurably
tastier, but not one whit sweeter. However
its history is obscure and we might never
know who first created it.

£11.00
Mulled wine dates back to Roman antiquity, but it wasn’t until the 14th century
that the mix of wine, fruit and spices gained its name, from an Old English
word meaning “muddled.” While the word “muddle” is most commonly used today
to denote a generally confused state, in its original meaning, that confused state
was brought about with alcohol. It is thought that the process of mulling wine
was first employed as a way to save wine that was about to spoil.
In medieval times these wines were called Ypocras or Hipocris, named after the
physician Hippocrates. They were thought to be very healthy, and indeed, with wine
at the time being far more sanitary than water, these heated drinks probably did
keep people healthy through the cold winters.
Moving forward to the 1500s, cookbooks listed methods of mulling “Clarrey”,
or Bordeaux. Recipes involved honey, cinnamon, cardamom, galingale and of course
French wine. Mulled wine was a favourite in Victorian England, and Negus -
a type of mulled wine - was even served to children at their birthday parties.
Today, mulled wine is a staple at many holiday parties.
Charles Dickens gets the credit for elevating mulled wine into a traditional
holiday drink. While mulled wine appeared in several of the beloved novelist’s
books, it was its appearance in his popular short story, A Christmas Carol,
that sealed its place in Christmas culinary history.
