To get us started we tried a couple of their cocktails, the Primavera Cooler (£5.95) and the Amigo-Roni (£5.95). The Cooler was a refreshing blend of mint, agave, pear and citrus with a lingering, slightly bitter finish. A fantastic drink for a hot summer evening (assuming we ever get one!).

I'll be honest and say I was disappointed in the Amigo-Roni. This was a Mexican take on the classic Negroni with Herradura Blanco Tequila in place of the gin and Aperol in place of the Campari. The drink was completely overwhelmed by the bitter citrus flavours of the Aperol which drowned out any agave that was there. Next time I'll ask for it to be served with more tequila and less Aperol.

However my disappointment was soon tempered when we moved onto the tequilas. D ordered the El Tesoro Reposado (£3.95) and I chose the Arette Sauve Reposado (£4.95). These were wonderfully contrasting reposado (rested) tequilas. The El Tesoro was earthy, rich, darker in colour with loads of spice and a long finish - a perfect after-dinner tequila. The Arette was subtler, drier with a hint of sweet citrus and a smooth finish - a wonderful sipping tequila at anytime.

I decided to finish on an anejo (aged) tequila and took our barman's recommendation - the Jose Cuervo Reserva De La Familia (£6.00) and D went with the Patron XO (£3.00). The Reserva was a rich, slightly sweet, very smooth tequila with only a hint of agave. Ideal for those who are used to good whisky or rum and are put off by the flavour of agave. The Patron XO is quite simply one of the best coffee liqueurs you're ever likely to taste. Go and try it for yourself.

They also do a wonderful selection of rums. But that's for another time... (M Earl)
