Signature Cocktails

• El Bandito£10.00

  Olmeca Tequila, Honey, Grapefruit, Pedro Xaminez. He had joined the train to much eyebrow raising from the other travellers - with his exotic air of mystery, and skin the colour of dark golden honey. When he flashed a smile it did indeed glint as the sunlight caught a gold tooth, and the ladies pretended not to look from behind their handkerchiefs

• The Padroni£10.00

  Elderflower Liqueur, Beefeater 24 Gin, Campari. He sat still as rock in the last carriage but one, cheeks weathered from the winds that battered the Italian coast in winter, his chin disappearing into a cream muffler. Only his sparkling black eyes showed life, and the white sprig of elderflower in his coat pocket

• The Poisonivy£10.00

  Aperol, Maraschino, Lemon, Egg White. To most, she looked harmless – a pretty young woman with cherry-red lips and pale skin, who kept herself to herself. But that didn't stop the whispers… of her sharp tongue and bitter emotions, and tales of leading men to their ruin

• Tropical Tempest£10.00

  Havana Especial Rum, Pineapple, Amaretto. She wore so much jewellery made of coloured glass that she jangled when she laughed, which was a frequent throaty, rich chuckle. She would tell stories of her homeland – palm trees and white sands, and the violent storms that would appear out of nowhere

• Sky & Beyond£12.00

  Maker's Mark Bourbon, Benedictine, Exotic Fruit. The horizon seemed to go on forever - the train had been moving through flat land and now the earth drifted away in a curve, towards the strange shapes of foreign trees. The dry ground was the colour of oak barrels and met an orange sky in a mist that seemed either terrifying or exciting - she wasn't sure which

• Haze of the Valley£12.00

  Beefeater Gin, Roots Mastiha, Homemade Lavender Bitters. The train had rattled on for miles now, through scrubland that seemed grey and artless compared to the gleaming splendour of the locomotive. But then they crested the valley, and beauty appeared - spread below them were fields of lavender, shimmering in the purple mist of morning

• Alpine Trail£12.00

  Pomegranate, Roots Mastiha, Gun Powder Irish Gin. The temperature had dropped overnight, and now when they peered out of the train's windows there was a thin film of frost clinging to the rim. Their breath made such clouds that they could barely see the stiff peaks of the snow-capped pines

• Golden Lining£12.00

  Absolut Vodka, Aperol, Passionfruit. When they had each boarded the train, from separate stations and with separate lives, it had been out of fear. But now, catching sight of each other across the dining cart, it seemed they were both in the place they were meant to be, and their past anxieties drifted away like broken clouds

• The Marmalady£12.00

  Monkey 47 Gin, Lychee, Peach Bitters, Egg white. She would sit in the dining cart each evening, waving away the silver platters of food and requesting gin served freezing, on the rocks. As the night progressed, her stories of conquests would grow louder, strands of flame-orange hair drifted loose, and her laugh would adopt a bitter edge that rattled all those who heard it

• Oriental Expresso£12.00

  Espresso, Absolut Vodka, Raspberry, Coffee Liqueur. When she had boarded the train with her aunt this is not what she had expected. Long after the old lady had retired to her cabin, the lights were still flickering in the bar carriage - a gramophone played past midnight and the younger passengers danced while clutching cocktails

• The Fortune Teller£12.00

  Olmeca Tequila, Pineapple, Amaretto. She would sit in her cabin with the door open, laying out tarot cards on the wooden table with wrinkled fingers and muttering strange words. Whenever someone passed the sweet-smelling room she'd beckon them in, asking with a sly smile if they dared to know their future

• The Sunflower£12.00

  Beefeater Gin, Maraschino, Orange Blossom. It seemed that all of a sudden summer had arrived in this sleepy pocket of France – each morning the passengers moved to one side of the train in order to get the best view of endless sun��ower fields, waving like a shimmering, golden ocean

• Gentleman's Sin£13.00

  Zacapa 23, Whisky Barrel Bitters, Orange, Muscovado Syrup. They wondered privately where he might be from, this young gentleman with the rich brown skin and golden rings that wrapped around each slender finger. What oak-scented wax did he use on that black moustache, and why was he always smiling quietly to himself?

• Mademoiselle in Pink£14.00

  Peach Bitters, Beefeater 24 Gin, Pommery Rosé Champagne. She'd been accused of being too firty; too giddy; too fippant. She always wore dresses of rose-hued satin, and when asked about her talents, she laughed and told them it was to race bubbles of Champagne before they got to the top of the flute

• The Dowager£14.00

  Raspberry Gin, Champagne, Sweet Lime. She was a strange mixture of soft and strict, this Dowager countess who sat swaddled in cashmere travelling blankets. Her skin appeared paper thin, with the powdery quality the elderly seem to adopt. Yet her fingers were twisted and cruel, covered in glinting diamonds that could cut like ice
