The Warehouse Bar Embarks on a New Cocktail Journey

The Warehouse Bar Embarks on a New Cocktail Journey

We are excited to announce that The Warehouse Taproom Bar and Restaurant is kicking off its new cocktail journey starting this Friday, August 2nd, at 3 PM. This marks the beginning of a new exciting chapter as we introduce an innovative cocktail menu, featuring to begin with two exquisite new cocktails from WhataHoot Distillery: the Espresso Martini and the Gin Fizz.

New Cocktails to Kick Off the Journey

Espresso Martini

Indulge in the rich, velvety flavours of our Espresso Martini crafted with WhataHoot’s premium vodka. This cocktail combines the bold flavours of espresso with the smoothness of a premium vodka, creating a perfect balance that is both invigorating and satisfying. The coffee beans used are Aquiares Caturra 23 and are especially known for their notes of chocolate bourbons with a creamy mouthfeel and brown sugar sweetness. It’s the ideal drink for those looking to add a little kick to their evening.

Gin Fizz

Experience the refreshing taste of the classic Gin Fizz, reimagined with WhataHoot’s exceptional gin. This cocktail is a delightful blend of gin, lemon juice, sugar, and soda water, offering a light and zesty flavour profile capturing the best of both the sweet and sour worlds. The gin used is WhataHoot’s signature dry gin, a blend of traditional botanicals and iconic Norfolk flavours of sea samphire and lavender. It’s a timeless favourite with a Norfolk twist that promises to be a hit among our guests.

Supporting Local Producers

We pride ourselves on using the finest ingredients from local suppliers where possible. Our coffee beans used in the Espresso Martini are from Silver Oak, a fantastic micro roastery based in Littleport with a huge enthusiasm for delicious coffee. While our spirits for both the Espresso Martini and Gin Fizz are from the wonderful Whatahoot Distillery, a mere 10 minutes down the road from us in Kings Lynn. The WhataHoot spirit range is also available to purchase from our beer shop or online at www.beersofeurope.co.uk
