The Passionata: A Refreshing Twist on a Classic

For fans of the Pornstar Martini, the Passionata is your new must-try.

Sip the Passionata and let it transport you to a sun-soaked paradise, perfect for any afternoon or evening at Café en Seine.

The Jaffa Cake: A Nostalgic Indulgence

The drink is elevated with hints of orange and cocoa, capturing the essence of a classic Jaffa Cake in a glass. It’s a warm, zesty, and indulgent creation that showcases Café en Seine’s flair for innovative mixology.

The Pale Bird: A Sophisticated Whiskey Sour Reinvention

Whiskey Sour enthusiasts will find their match in the Pale Bird. This cocktail takes the classic to new heights with premium Redbreast 12-year whiskey, enhanced by the unique flavours of banana syrup, almond syrup (orgeat), and a duo of Sherries – Oloroso and Cream. The Pale Bird is a complex, flavourful choice that’s perfect for those who appreciate a whiskey-based cocktail with a twist.

The Bramble Bliss: A Refreshing Gin Delight

Inspired by the timeless Bramble, the Bramble Bliss is a fresh take on this summery favourite. The addition of blackberry and mint syrup infuses the cocktail with a distinctive, refreshing taste that’s perfect for gin lovers. The Bramble Bliss is the ultimate choice for a warm day, offering a burst of flavour that’s as delightful as it is refreshing.

Cafe Martini: A Luxurious Twist on the Classic Espresso Martini

The Cafe Martini offers a sophisticated spin on the classic Espresso Martini. This variation stands out with its use of vanilla vodka and Bristol Cream Sherry. Bristol Cream, an aged wine made from Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez (PX) grapes, is renowned in the cocktail world for its rich and complex flavor. When combined with vanilla vodka and coffee, Harveys Bristol Cream’s distinct taste adds a luxurious depth to the cocktail, creating a smooth and flavorful experience.
