3 to try...
Tempt customers to sip a new drink with these special picks
Mahiki White Spiced Rum With cinnamon, peppercorn and clove notes, this premium rum is perfect with lemonade and crisp apple slices or served neat over ice.
Licor 43 Make a baby lager with this Spanish liqueur. Chill in the freezer, pour into a shot glass and top with Irish cream.
Caleño Light & Zesty Infused with the flavours of Colombia, this non-alcoholic spirit is one to watch. Serve with tonic and a pineapple wedge.
Pick Pipers for quality
Only the finest potatoes and ingredients sourced from passionate partner farmers will do for the Pipers range of premium bar snack treats.
What's on your bar?
Thomas Lidgard, Manager at The Counting House in Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire
The former bank is an elegant cocktail lounge featuring live acts by night and a laid-back meeting place by day.
What’s your signature cocktail?
Our Pornstar Martini has been tweaked over seven years as we’ve sought the perfect balance with an ingredient that takes it to the next level. It combines vanilla with fresh passionfruit and apple, vanilla vodka, Passoã and bitters with a prosecco finish.
Your two best-selling beers and why?
Moretti, but Cruzcampo is growing as a more affordable option that still delivers a quality liquid. Plus our own Bankers Bitter, a smooth amber ale with fruity notes.
What spirits sell in the greatest volume and why?
G&Ts are still popular but we’re seeing interest in a variety of vodka options with guests increasingly looking to concoct and mix their own.
Your personal desert island drink?
Alone on an island, just me and an Old Fashioned will do just fine. Failing that, some Jameson Orange Whiskey!
