Our love for the classic 70’s dessert knows no bounds, so we’ve created a new option for the post-dinner cocktail menu you won’t be able to resist.
Made with all the classic martini components, we’ve added an extra caramel kick with a homemade caramel syrup that gives the drink a warming undertone making this martini extra special. Topped with lashings of squirty cream, crumbled digestives and glossy chocolate sauce you’ll be confused whether this is a drink or a dessert. All we can say is move over Espresso Martini, there's a new girl in town.
