    At The Connaught we offer our signature martini with a choice of gin or vodka, and then we have a selection of homemade aromatic bitters to tailor it exactly to our guests’ tastes:

    Lavender – floral and aromatic with a rosemary-like flavour that tastes amazing with olives.

    Green cardamom – balsamic on the nose and dry on the palate with a citrus aftertaste.

    Vanilla – silky on the nose with a lingering, bitter finish.

    Coriander seeds – elegant with spicy and citrus aromas.

    Bergamot and ginseng – elegant, woody notes with spicy, citrusy aromas.
