Bobbie’s French Martini Martinis are a big focus on the drinks list, alongside some twists on classics and aperitifs. The menu leans towards classic cocktails with a modern twist, featuring negronis and highballs among other vibrant takes on favourites. It’s open from Wednesday to Sunday, 2:30pm until late.
The menu includes both perennial offerings and seasonal specials (all about £15), the latter of which I dipped into with the Pear & Gooseberry Highball, a mix of Nc’nean single malt, Christina’s own crab pear whiskey liqueur, honey fermented crab pear, and Idyll gooseberry soda.
Add ice to a highball glass. Heck, there’s even a full book deconstructing it element by element. Digestif, aperitif, cold weather cocktail, warm weather refreshment. Pimm’s No. Add Pimm’s No. 1 and lemon juice, top with ginger ale or sparkling lemonade, and stir. Store in refrigerator to cool.
But for now, sit back and relax with a low-labor Labor Day cocktail, a bittersweet, boozy spritz that takes the spirit/sweet/bitter Negroni format and turns it into a long drink, a sort of a highball, a bubbly, bitter aperitif. I got it from Toby Maloney of The Violet Hour in his excellent book The Bartender’s Manifesto.
Like all Trick Dog menus, The Salty Dog seamlessly integrates non-alcoholic and low-ABV cocktails with higher-octane options, highballs, boilermakers, sherry, beer wine and soda. The Salty Dog features 17 original cocktails, each hand illustrated by Therens (who also contributed original illustrations to the 19 th menu, Tantrick Dog).
The drinks are designed not to overpower the dishes, with offerings ranging from aperitifs to drinks replicating wines and kombuchas to naturally complement the seasonal flavours. Reservations are required for the tasting menu experiences at Comptoir De Vie (book here ); walk-ins are possible for an la carte experience pending availability.
