25.01.2022 We have been getting lots of questions about the Negroni, so we thought we would clear them all up and tell you our Negroni secrets. Ingredients -30ml London Dry Gin (We love Tanqueray) -30ml Campari ... -30ml Sweet vermouth (We use Cinzano 1757 Rosso) Pour all of these into your glass (or mixing tin if you're making more than one), Add lots of ice and stir! Remember, you are just stirring to mix your ingredients, NOT to dilute. Cut your orange peel and squeeze the oils over your drink, rub it around the rim and then twist into your glass. And Voila - You have the perfect Negroni. If you find this a bit too bitter, you could use more of the Sweet Vermouth or use an Orange wedge rather than a peel. See more

05.01.2022 Did you know that Punch is considered to be the earliest cocktail? The story goes Punch began in the British East India trade when a boat of English Sailors ran out of Beer and Wine and concocted the idea to reverse-distil a spirit back to a version of wine. They picked up some Coconut Arrack in India and added water and lemon juice in an effort to bring it to the similar strength of wine. On one occasion, they returned to England with some leftover and it was be shared with ...the men at the docks. The voyage investors caught onto this and from then on would meet the ships upon docking and sit around and enjoy this communal drink with other people of the same stature. The popularity of the drink skyrocketed and demand for importation of ingredients was high, unfortunately the cost of ingredients for one punch bowl at this time (around the 1690s) was half of a weeks living wage and therefor became an accessory for the rich to show off. Join us soon at 1806 to try this journey back through time with our Fish House Punch.

You will often find John behind the bar, giving you a real show when he makes your drinks, showcasing his classic knowledge and southern charm. We asked him a few questions so you can get to know him a little bit better Where are you from? I am from The Highlands of Florida, USA.... How long have you worked with us? I havent worked at the bar for long, I have been here for 8 months and I have learned so much. What is your favourite cocktail? My favourite cocktail is the Jack Rose or ANYTHING with Apple Jack! What do you like to do when you arent slinging these amazing drinks? I am a big fan of playing music, I mostly play the drums and I love drawing, all about the creative stuff! #bar1806 #1806 #weloveyas #cocktails #cocktail #cocktailmasterclass #bartender #melbourne #melbournebars #bars #drinks #classics #melbournestyle #melbournelife #nightin #covid19 #coronavirus #weareopen #newmenu #newdrinks #newfood
