Foreword
Gin71 was founded in May 2014 by a team
dedicated to great quality spirits and
excellent customer service. Through our
passion and dedication, we have created bars
which aim to celebrate all aspects of gin.
Our head bartender David Craig works
tirelessly to keep our sophisticated cocktail
list up to date, curating a selection of
incredible drinks from our wonderfully
creative bar team. These drinks are all created
using the best spirits, liqueurs and vermouths
from all over the world to ensure the very best
flavour.
While his focus has largely been on gin with
its versatility and rich history in cocktail
making, there are also plenty of other creative
concoctions in here. Read on and discover a
menu which features many of his own
creations as well as some timeless classics.

CLASSIC GIN
COCKTAILS
THE JASMINE
Poetic Licence Old Tom / Cointreau /
Campari / Lemon Juice
A modern classic created in 1990’s
California, this drink is designed to taste like
grapefruit juice without featuring it as an
ingredient and borrows its dry flavour from
the dark red aperitif Campari. This pink drink
packs a punch.
WHITE LADY
Gin Mare / Cointreau / Lemon Juice /
Sugar Syrup / Egg White
Created in 1919 originally using crème de
menthe, the recipe was changed to use gin
four years later to give the drink a drier
taste. The cocktail uses egg white for a silky
smooth finish.
CATS PYJAMAS
Poetic Licence Old Tom / Honey / Lemon
Juice / Orange Juice
This cocktail is quite literally “The Bees
Knees”. We have adapted this prohibition
classic to use old tom gin thus making it The
Cats Pyjamas.
THE MARTINEZ
Perry’s Tot / Cocchi Di Torino / Maraschino
Liqueur / Bitters
Sometimes considered the ancestor of the
Martini, this cocktail offers a more complex
and softer approach to drinking gin.

RHUBARB COLLINS
Martin Miller’s / Lemon Juice /
Rhubarb Syrup
Our take on the classic Tom Collins cocktail.
Made using our homemade rhubarb syrup to
give this drink a slightly more complex taste
than usual.
AVIATION
Martin Miller’s / Maraschino Liqueur /
Crème de Violette / Lemon Juice
First created at the turn of the 20th century
in New York, it has only just started to make
a comeback. Some omit the Crème de
Violette but here we follow the original
recipe dating back to the Jazz Age!
BRAMBLE
Brockman’s / Lemon Juice / Apple Juice /
Créme de Mure
Invented in Soho, London in the eighties, the
Bramble has continued to grow in popularity. Brockman’s gin adds an extra fruity edge
to this light and refreshing cocktail.
CORPSE REVIVER #2
Sipsmith Gin / Lillet Blanc / Cointreau /
Absinthe / Lemon Juice
The second, and most famous, of a trilogy of
drinks that is a dead cert to cure your
hangover. Don’t let the absinthe deter you,
we’ve made this one a little lighter for a
refreshing drink to be enjoyed all evening.
PROHIBITION
COCKTAILS
OLD FASHIONED
Elijah Craig 12 / Sugar / Bitters
The oldest cocktail in the book, and one of
the few to adhere to the original cocktail
definition of spirit, sugar, water, bitters. It has
been enjoyed by generations of cocktail
enthusiasts and whisky drinkers alike.
SAZERAC
Martell Cognac V.S. / Wild Turkey 81 /
Absinthe / Peychaud Bitters
A New Orleans cocktail, similar to the Old
Fashioned, but with a twist of cognac. This is
a strong cocktail - not for the faint hearted!
TENNESSEE JULEP
Wild Turkey 81 / Créme de Peche / Mint /
Rose Water / Bitters
A quintessential American Deep South
cocktail. A fruity and refreshing approach to
whisky which will make you fall in love with
bourbon!
BOULEVARDIER
Elijah Craig / Campari / Sweet Vermouth
A cocktail which uses the same formula as
the negroni but replaces gin with bourbon.
Where the negroni is crisp and lean this
drink is rich and intriguing, one of our
favourites!

STORMY CREED
Gin71 Spiced Rum / Ginger Syrup / Cocchi
Torino / Lemon Juice / Angostura / Soda
Gin might be our first and biggest love, but
we enjoy trying new things and decided to
create our own spiced rum. This cocktail may
vary as we experiment with our spiced rum.

CLOVER CLUB
Martin Miller’s / Martini Rosso / Homemade
Raspberry Syrup / Lemon Juice / Egg White
The French Martini of the Prohibition Era.
Gin is shaken up with our homemade
raspberry syrup, a dash of sweet vermouth,
lemon juice and egg white - just the way it
was served back in the day.
SOUTHSIDE SOUR
Sipsmith / Cocchi Americano /
Mint / Lemon Juice / Egg White
Another Prohibition classic, a refreshing
drink that used to be Al Capone’s favourite
tipple.
SOURS
A mix of sugar, lemon juice, egg white, and
your choice of the following liquor...
Amaretto
Bourbon
Whisky
Contains Egg
MODERN ERA
PISCO SOUR
Kappa Pisco / Sugar Syrup / Egg White /
Angostura Bitters
This South American cocktail, claimed by
both Chile and Peru as their own, uses the
grape brandy with a bite as its base spirit.
Wherever it’s from, we love it!
EL DIABLO 71
Arette Tequila / Kappa Pisco / Créme de
Cassis / Ginger Beer
Our take on the El Diablo cocktail, the
blackcurrant liqueur takes some of the bite
out of the ginger beer; these ingredients
make for a great combination with the spice
of the tequila and pisco. A fiery cocktail!
NO CHICKS ALLOWED
Wild Turkey / Zucca Rhubarb Amaro /
Sugar Syrup / Lime Juice / Orange Bitters
A bourbon sour for people who don’t like
egg in their drink. The rich Amaro in this
cocktail coupled with the bourbon makes for
a fantastically smooth drink.
CONQUISTADOR
Colombian Gin / St Germain Elderflower /
Lime / Sugar / Basil
The Gin71 version of a mojito in which we
use Colombian Dictator Rum Barrel Aged
Gin, elderflower liqueur, lime, fresh basil and
agave syrup. Delicious and in some ways
more refreshing than the original. Mojitos are
available upon request.

A Gin71 special - a refreshing and fruity take
on the Prohibition classic: French 75. Made
with smooth Scottish gin from Lunan Bay,
North East Scotland.
RED DEVIL
Edinburgh Cannonball / Celery Bitters /
Lemon / Tomato Juice / Tabasco
We invented this fun little concoction when
the lovely folk from Edinburgh Gin came to
visit Gin71. Let the staff know how spicy you
would like it on a scale of 1 - 10! Prefer vodka
to gin? Try with Arbikie Chipotle Chilli
vodka.
CONNIE’S GARDEN
Pothecary / Rinquinquin / Lemon Juice /
Peach & Rose Sugar Syrup / Lavender Bitters
For the lover of all things floral. This drink
features a rose and peach infused sugar
syrup to give this cocktail the perfect
balance between sweet and floral.

A PRIMO GUSTO
Malfy / Lychee Liqueur / Orange & Fig

our orange and fig infused vermouth.

Zudiam Dutch Courage Old Tom / Cocchi
Americano / Orange Bitters / Orange Peel

SAUDADES DO SOL
Gin Sul / Lillet Blanc / Bitters
A refreshing Martini made with Gin Sul, one
of our favourite German gins, which uses
Portugese botanicals. The name of this
Martini translates from Portuguese as a
feeling of longing for the sun, which we
found fitting for Glasgow.
ROSE GARDEN
Hendricks / St Germain Elderflower / Rose
Water / Cucumber
A Martini created to encapsulate Hendricks
gin, a summery Martini that is both
approachable and refreshing.
KIRSTY’S VESPER
Arbikie Vodka / Arbikie Kirsty’s Gin / Lillet
Blanc / Blueberries / Grapefruit Bitters
Using two spirits from the Arbikie Highland
Estate, this Martini combines the deliciously
smooth Arbikie Potato Vodka with Kirsty’s
Gin, alongside some blueberries for a bit of
sweetness.
NEGRONI
While the specific orign of the drink is unknown, most
would say that it was first mixed in Florence, Italy
around 1919. This delicious apéritif is a sophisticated
concoction, a staple of any good cocktail menu.
ANATOMY OF THE NEGRONI
1
GIN
The best gins for a negroni are those with
a strong, robust flavour and high abv
2
VERMOUTH
The spirit is blended with a sweet
vermouth to counter and balance the
flavour against the bitter notes of the
other ingredients
3 CAMPARI
Mixing in this apéritif completes the drink
creating the signature flavour of the negroni
(For a slightly less bitter flavour, choose
Aperol instead of Campari)
