SOMETHINGS STIRRING AT MAI TAI

At Mai Tai we are fans of anything that's a little quirky!  And this summer is no different, coming soon to the bar are some very unusual drinks, so if your interested in something quite cool and a little unusual then read on!


AFTERNOON TEA;

First off we have the fantastic Hendrick's Gin afternoon tea set.  Serving a various selection of Gin based summer drinks to share in these fantastic retro teapots.  I can see the looks now as you drive past our terrace and there we are sat in the sun sipping a fantastic concoction from our afternoon tea-sets.  It doesn't get much more unusual than that!

A TASTE OF THE DEEP SOUTH

At present I'm a big fan of some of the colourful and varied arts coming out of New Orleans and the deep south.  Art, music, drinks it all going on.  With this we will soon have are hard working mitts on new Southern Comfort Jam Jars.  Harking back to the Pewter Julep tins of old, which held the South's equivalent to the Mojito, the Mint Julep. Fresh mint combined with a good quality bourbon, bitters and a little sugar. The Jam Jars are designed to hold Southern Comforts new Louisiana Jam a great drink combining SC with jam, mint, sugar, bitters all shaken up and packed with crushed ice.
At Mai Tai we are going to serving a selection of different drinks designed by our bartenders.
