SAVOURIES &
BRITISH CHEESE
All of our cheeses are selected at
Paxton & Whitfield of Jermyn Street
Berkswell 7.75
An exquisite hard sheep’s milk cheese with a full nutty flavour, made
in the style of a Pyrenean cheese but in the heart of England at
Berkswell in Warwickshire.
Rachel 7.00
An unusual semi soft washed rind goat’s milk cheese from Somerset.
Washed in brine and made in a small dairy Rachel has a very fresh
yoghurt type texture when young.

MARTINI
All Martinis at The Mercer use 75ml of your chosen spirits
frozen at -16 °C for at least 48 hours, mixed in
and served in frozen glassware.
The Martini
Served with your favourite gin frozen, mixed with a 5:1 ratio
of extra dry Vya Californian vermouth stirred on ice made
from Whitehole Springs mineral water twice frozen. Very
serious indeed.
The Gibson
The legend goes that Charles Gibson challenged a New York
bartender to improve on the Martini so he simply substituted
the olive for an onion. Genius!
The Montgomery
Inspired by our love of history and the story that Field
Marshal “Monty” liked to go into battle with a 15-to-1
advantage over the enemy. The liquor certainly out numbers
the vermouth in this very dry martini.
The Dukes
Homage to the St James Hotel where Mr. Capper goes for his
for birthday martini. Not to be underestimated, a very hard
way to drink a martini with no dilution through from stirring,
just frozen naked spirits and a glass atomized with vermouth
for an ultra dry finish. Garnished with a lemon zest as
standard and complimented by a bowl of marinated olives.
The Bradford
When you really want it shaken for an increased dilution
from the ice then ordering a Bradford will get you a lot further
in life than asking for your martini “shaken not stirred.”
The Dirty
Popularised by Franklin Roosevelt after the repeal of
prohibition. Stirring the brine in which our olives are
preserved creates a wonderful salty experience that
compliments the short, sharp, strong style of martini. Excuse
the glint in our eye when we ask you “how dirty you like it?”
The Smokey
The exciting adventure for the gin martini, stirred on our
twice frozen Whitehole ice and combined with the rich, subtle
and smokey smooth flavours of Lagavoulin 16 year old Islay
Scotch.

The Vespa
“A dry martini,” Bond said. “one in a deep champagne goblet.”
“Oui, monsieur.”
“Just a moment. Three measures of Gordon’s, one vodka, half
a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it is ice cold,
then add a large thin slice of lemon – peel. Got it?”
Ian Flemming Casino Royal 1937
The Martinez
Believed to be the pre curser to the Martini, created for a gold
miner who struck it big in San Francisco and wanted to
celebrate with a mix gin and sweet vermouth complimented
with a little maraschino liqueur.
The Gimlet
"On a bar stool a woman in a black tailor-made ... was sitting
alone with a cigarette in a long jade holder. She had that fine-
drawn intense look that is sometimes neurotic, sometimes
sex-hungry, and sometimes just the result of drastic dieting,"
notes Marlowe before ordering a Gimlet. "So few people drink
them around here ... Gimlets, I mean," the woman whispers
to Marlowe. "A fellow taught me to like them," he replies,
before the bartender sets the drink in front of him. "With the
lime juice it has a sort of pale greenish yellowish misty look. I
tasted it. It was both sweet and sharp at the same time. The
woman in black watched me. Then she lifted her own glass
towards me. We both drank. Then I knew hers was the same
drink."
Raymond Chandler The Long Goodbye 1953
The Mercer
A house blend of vermouth and orange bitters gently stirred
with your choice of frozen gin finished with a lemon and pink
grapefruit zest over the top
