| Lynchburg Lemonade sharer served in a JD Barrel off the new menu |
Summer has finally arrived, she decided not to show her
face in 2012 as I'm sure you'll remember, and to make a point she has put on
quite a show so far. Nighthawks, as always, timed their attack perfectly and
swooped down on Camden with a brand new summer menu, just as the hottest week
of the year hit.
Lock17, with the notorious Dingwalls attached downstairs,
has traditionally been a place to grab a pint, with a few cocktails on offer
for those with the desire. Our job was to create a simple menu that would
entice desire and put Lock on the map, not only as a great venue with a long
history of incredible music and artists, but also a place to get an amazing
drink.
We think you'll like the results; a simple summer menu
with some classics twisted up by the Nighthawk and also some of our own
creations, nothing too flashy, just sumptuous summer flavours.
Our favourite, which is proving akin to the clientele, is
'Rosemary's Love of Lychees', a nice easy cocktail harnessing tastes of fresh
Rosemary and Lychees with a crisp Gin finish. Easy to make at home, or if
you're fairly close, easy to order one at Lock17. Just in case you'd prefer the
former, I will list the ingredients and method on our blog for you shortly.
I do suggest, however, that you go and enjoy Lock17's
sun-drenched terrace while the summer hangs around and let Camden wash over you
in all its glory. Make sure you accompany it with a few of our banging
cocktails.
Here's to the London Summertime.
