Cocktails
Flamingo Room Cocktail R128
South African Gin / Sweet Vermouth / Raspberry
*Flamingos are known as graceful and majestic creatures that stand on one leg. There is no need to stand on one leg to be graceful, but ordering this iconic drink will put you right up there
Negroni R118
South African Gin / Caperitif /
Sweet Vermouth / Campari
*Invented by Count Camillo Negroni, after asking a bartender to make his Americano cocktail (not the coffee) a bit stronger by adding gin instead of soda water. Orson Wells said it best: "The bittters are excellent for your liver. The gin is bad for you. They balance each other out."
tashas Old Fashioned R126
Bourbon / Bitters / Maple Syrup / Sesame
*First made at the Pendennis Club in Louisville, Kentucky in 1880, it was made famous when served at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City in the same year. This cocktail has stood the test of time. We have added the tashas' touch to this classic.
Palms & Sand R128
Dark Rum / Fresh Pineapple /
Fresh Orange Juice / Coconut
*Originally called The Painkiller, this drink hails from The Soggy Dollar bar in the British Virgin Islands. The bar's name comes from the fact that the sailors who attended this establishment always had to pay with their soggy money, as they were unable to keep it dry.
French Romance R116
Cognac / Raspberry Syrup / Ciabatta Syrup /
Vermouth / Lemon
*Inspired by all things French, this will make you fall in love all over again. The blend of Cognac and berries has a balanced yet fresh flavour. Finished off with salt spray and raspberry dust, it is sure to make you sparkle.
King Cole Bloody Mary R124
Vodka / Lemon / Mary Mix / Tomato Cocktail
*In 1934, Fernand Petiot perfected the original Bloody Mary at the King Cole Bar at the St Regis Hotel in New York City, named for its famous gilded Parrish mural of the royal cutting cheese and being watched by smirking jesters.
The Square Pimm's Cup R122
Gin / Lemon / Berry Tea Syrup / Elderflower / Ginger Ale
*Invented by James Pimm in the 19th century, and originally marketed as a health tonic, this is the quintessential cocktail of Wimbledon, and now graces the menus of establishments all over the world.
Mimosa with a Twist R124
Vodka / Orange / Cointreau / Bubbles
*This is a twist on the orginal Mimosa, invented in Paris at The Ritz in the 1920's as a brunch time drink. To add a bit more flavour and a lot more punch, we have added vodka and cointreau, to make what we hope will become a tashas’ classic cocktail.
French 18 R120
Gin / Rose / Chamomile / Lemon / Bubbles
*This is our spin on the original French 75 created by 'Harry himself' at Harry's Bar in Paris. It was said to have such a kick that it felt like being shelled with the powerful French 75mm field gun. The addition of rose and chamomile makes this a more delicate version.
Gin Sour R126
South African Gin / Pomegranate & Thyme / Lemon / Bitters / Port
*The original Gin Sour predates prohibition in the US. Our version of the classic is a simple, fresh and fruity cocktail that includes pomegranate and thyme syrup as well as a hint of Port. With Inveroche Amber Gin, the flavours are layered and delicious.
