REFRESHING EYE-OPENERS FOR ANY TIME OF DAY
In 1821 a doctor explained the importance of these popular early-morning drinks: ‘Gum-Ticklers warm the gums after sleeping - to be taken immediately on awakening, or at farthest, on getting out of bed’, while ‘Phlegm-Cutters remove hoarseness from the voice (to be taken between dressing and breakfast)’. He helpfully adds, ‘Should there be no fog, take as preventatives lest there should be fog in the course of the day’. Other categories included Gloom-Lifters, Eye-Openers, Pick-Me-Ups, Morning Jolts and, for when all else failed, Corpse-Revivers.
Marmalade Cocktail - 8.50
Beefeater, Campari, Lemon, Marmalade
Harry Craddock, who ran the Savoy’s American Bar in its 1920s heyday, thought it ‘a great necessity of the age’ to develop effective Anti-Fogmatics and recommended that they be drunk ‘before 11am, or whenever steam and energy are needed’.

Tom & Jerez - 9.50
Hayman’s Old Tom Gin, Sherry, Pear, Lemon, Almond
Starting life as a geek bartender’s attempt to create a 4-part drink as good as the Corpse Reviver #2, this slightly nutty ‘Spain in a glass’ has become a firm Hawksmoor favourite. Try an off-menu CR#2 to see which you prefer.

Grapefruit Picador - 9.50
Olmeca Altos, Falernum, Lime, Grapefruit
First served at the Café Royal in the 1930s, the Picador didn’t achieve fame and notoriety for another 20 years or so when it appeared under a new name - Margarita.

Gunpowder Fizz - 11.25
Chivas Regal 12 Year, Peat Monster, Pedro Ximenez, Green Tea, Lime, Egg White, Soda
The old Mimosa’s got nothing on this! Our take on George Kappeler’s Morning Glory Fizz from 1895, this is a breakfast cocktail to sweep the cobwebs out of the mind and the malice out of the soul.

Shaky Pete’s Ginger Brew - 9.50
Beefeater, Ginger, Lemon, Pale Ale
Created by ‘Shaky’ Pete Jeary, who worked with us for 8 years before leaving for love in Australia, this now crops up on cocktail lists around the world (the sincerest form of flattery?). Somewhere between homemade ginger beer and shandy with an added gin kick, this is a refreshing pick-me- up that will knock you down again if you drink too many.
50p from every one we serve goes to Magic Breakfast, an amazing charity that breaks the cycle of poverty, hunger and underachievement at school by providing free breakfast clubs for children in Edinburgh and beyond.

Bute Dragon - 9.00
Strawberry Beefeater, Lime, Tarragon
We infuse gin with Scottish strawberries and shake hard with lime and a touch of tarragon. Named after the fire-breathing dragon wearing a strawberry leaf crown on the Marquess of Bute’s coat of arms.

Fitzpatrick’s Aviation - 9.50
Beefeater, Maraschino, Lemon, Fitzpatrick’s Blood Tonic
Fitzpatrick’s in Rawtenstall is the last remaining Temperance Bar in the UK. They still produce amazing cordials and herbal concoctions, like their Blood Tonic, which we use here to give one of our favourite classics, the Aviation, a hint of Vimto.

The Delicious Sour - 10.50
Somerset 5 Year Old Apple Brandy, Apricot, Lemon, Egg White
From the 1892 The Flowing Bowl by ‘The Only William’, this truly lives up to its (not so humble) name. We’ve swapped his peach and lime for apricot and lemon to make a fuller tasting drink.
