John and Jeff

Drinking at the very posh Connaught Bar at the Connaught Hotel in London, a superb destination for cocktails, great atmosphere and service.

Our friends John Hoskins (L) and Portland bartender extraordinaire Jeff Morgenthaler (R), and on extreme left Wes' disembodied hand. The hand, not croppable without removing a quarter of John's head, would have ordinarily left this one on the cutting room floor except for the fact that Morgenthaler smiles like a Muppet in most pictures, which I love, so I couldn't possibly have cut it

The Hoskinses of Shropshire, wonderful friends and that day's whirlwind tour guides through London. It was time for us to get them nice and liquored up on some great cocktails.

The Connaught Martini service cart

When you order a Martini at the Connaught Bar, a bar cart is wheeled over to the table and it's made tableside by a white-gloved bartender. It's a spectacular show, rivaled by almost nothing I've ever seen in a bar, and only by the tableside service of Bananas Foster or Café Brulôt in New Orleans.

Their recipe:
75ml gin (or vodka, if you insist)
25ml dry vermouth
3 drops bitters - vanilla, grapefruit, cardamom, licorice, lavender, ginger or coriander

Stirred, with a twist or olives.

The NJ Sour

My first libation at the Connaught.

1fresh fig
35ml applejack brandy (I'd recommend Laird's bonded)
10ml orange curaçao
10ml Averna amaro
20ml fresh lemon juice
15ml homemade pomegranate grenadine

Muddle the fruit and shake all the ingredients with ice. Double strain into an ice-filled Old Fashioned glass. Garnish with a dry lemon wheel.

Absolutely delicious!
