East India No.2

The bitters are crucial in balancing this after-dinner brandy and pineapple cocktail.

Eastern Standard (Soho House Tonic)

Fresh and refreshing with gin-laced mint, cucumber and lime.

Eastside Gimlet

A riff on the Southside and the Gimlet using cucumber, an ingredient inspired by Hendrick's Gin having recently launched when this gin cocktail was first

Eggnog

This vintage cocktail is literally a thickened alcoholic milkshake flavoured with cognac and rum. Yum!

El Diablo

The tequila, rich red berry fruit, lime and ginger aren't exactly a subtle combination but it is one that has proved both popular and enduring.

El Presidente (Difford's recipe)

Rum and vermouth combine harmoniously in this delicate and subtly citrus-fresh cocktail. My previous El Presidente version involved the use of three different

Elderflower Collins

A hint of elderflower adds interest to the classic Collins cocktail - long, balanced and refreshing.

Elderflower Spritz (AKA St-Germain Cocktail)

A long, easy-drinking summer cooler.

Enzoni

Think Negroni but with citrus freshness and grape fruitiness.

Espresso Martini

Likened to a Vodka and Red Bull for the discerning, the caffeine-loaded Espresso Martini consists of generous shots of vodka and espresso with coffee liqueur.

Fancy Free

Aromatised, tamed bourbon with complex maraschino notes. Basically, a Whiskey Old Fashioned with maraschino in place of sugar syrup. Surprisingly dry,

Fat Tire

This flavourful, bittersweet fruity aperitivo won't be to everyone's taste but it's certainly to ours.

Final Ward

The Last Word is classically made with gin, maraschino, Chartreuse and lime juice. In this riff, whiskey replaces the gin, and Mr Ward switches citrus

Fish House Punch

Tea tannins and lemon juice dry and sour this cognac and rum-laced punch with rich peach liqueur balancing and adding fruit appeal.

Fitzgerald

A Tangy and fresh Gin Sour without the egg white. A juniper heavy gin and dashes of bitters are key to the success of this sour.

Fluffy Duck

Light, creamy and easy drinking. Gin prevents this particular duck from being too fluffy.

Fog Cutter

Don't be fooled by this seemingly innocuous orange-yellow long, fruity cocktail. It packs a serious punch with sweet almond notes masking its rum, gin

Ford Cocktail

I like both spirit-forward cocktails and gin, so although the original recipe calls for equal parts gin and dry vermouth, I previously opted for two-parts

French 75

I've Colin Field to thank for my French 75 epiphany. One evening in early June 2017 I was sat at his bar (Bar Hemingway) and he showed me the vintage 75ml

French Martini

Raspberry and pineapple laced with vodka. Easy drinking and very fruity.

Garibaldi

A fabulous brunch cocktail. How you squeeze (and blend) your oranges is key to achieving the fluffy orange juice that makes this drink special. At New

Gibson

A classic Dry Martini without bitters and garnished with cocktail onions in place of an olive or a twist. On those two distinctions, all are agreed. However,

Gimlet

The Gimlet is classically equal parts gin and lime cordial stirred in the glass it is to be served in, with added ice being optional (but actually optimal).

Gin & It

Remembering both vermouth and gin are flavoured with similar botanicals, they obviously have an affinity for each other. This drink may be simple but made

Gin & Tonic

One of the simplest and best mixed drinks ever devised, hence its lasting popularity. To serve as a Highball use a smaller 10oz (295ml) Highball glass

Gin Basil Smash

Jörg, the creator of this cocktail, says, Better too much than not enough basil in this drink. He also specifies that the basil is muddled rather than

Gin Cocktail

Bready genever with a hint of orange curaçao adding flavour and the merest touch of sweetness balancing Boker's Bitters. If you don't have Boker's to

Gin Fizz

Everyone has heard of this clean, refreshing cocktail, but few have actually tried it.

Gin Rickey

Clean, sharp and refreshing. Please don't serve this in a Collins glass, it should be a short drink served long in a 10oz Highball or Fizz glass.

Gin Sour

This 8:4:2 formula is a tad sourer than the classic sour proportions of 8:3:4 – two parts of the strong ingredient (gin), three-quarter parts of sour

Godfather

Scotch diluted and delicately sweetened with added almond notes - simple but tasty. Proportions range from equal parts (45ml scotch to 45ml amaretto) to

Gold Rush

A Whiskey Sour made with honey syrup in place of sugar.

Golden Cadillac

This shaken recipe includes orange juice (classically, it doesn't), giving the otherwise anaemic-looking cocktail its namesake golden hue. Adding orange

Grasshopper (Flying)

Why drink a mere Grasshopper when you could be enjoying a Flying Grasshopper? This creamy after-dinner cocktail is all the better for the splash of vodka,

Green Swizzle

Robustly flavoured ingredients brought together harmoniously in a tall, most refreshing swizzle. Worthy of its legendary status.

Grog

Strong, flavoursome navy rum with a splash of scurvy-inhibiting lime. Properly mixed at the right dilution, this is a great drink. However, too many and

Gypsy Queen

Vodka both fortifies this complexly spiced honeyed and herbal cocktail.
