Our new bar tender, Larry, has been busy introducing a wide range of cocktails at Upper Deck Bar & Restaurant. Here he tells us how the Smokey Old Fashioned ignites the senses with its distinct flavour. This particular recipe is derived from one of the oldest cocktails, the Old Fashioned. Although this was once mixed with American Bourbon, we feel this versatile concoction can lend its hand to most aged spirits. Ours is mixed with Scotch Whisky, Angostura Bitters, sugar syrup
and stirred ritualistically with ice, chilling the drink and diluting to open up the flavours of the Whiskey, making it far less harsh and much more palatable. With the addition of cherry wood chips, that we smoke into the drink itself, giving the drink a sweet, smokey character. We serve this in a glass chamber with a lid, capturing more smoke, and when poured over orange zest and ice, the cherry wood smoke oozes out over the glass.
You’ll find the ‘Smoked Old Fashioned’ on our Sunday Lunch menu.
Recipe: 50ml Scotch Whisky Angostura Bitters 5ml Sugar Syrup Smoke ice with Cherry Wood and stir Serve with Orange Zest

Recipe Christmas Cheesecake For the base: • 65g Butter • 300g Shortbread or digestive biscuits
For the Filling: • Finely grated zest of a small orange, plus a little extra to finish • Vanilla extract a few drops • 4 Eggs plus an extra yolk • 300g Soured cream: • 600g Full-fat cream cheese (Philadelphia) • 200g Golden caster sugar • 250g Mincemeat
Valentine’s Day
Method 1. You will need a round cake tin with a removable base, or a spring form cake tin measuring 22cm in diameter and about 7.5cm high. Line the base with baking parchment.
Treat your loved one to a Champagne Afternoon Tea this Valentine’s, including a full selection of cakes, pastries, scones and freshly prepared sandwiches, served with a pot of tea of your choice and a glass of our house Champagne.
2. Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Crush the biscuits to fine crumbs in a food processor and stir them into the melted butter. Remove from the heat and tip all but a couple of tablespoons of the crumbs into the lined cake tin. Smooth flat, but avoid the temptation to push down too hard, you don’t want a tightly packed, impenetrable crust. Put in the fridge for half an hour to set.
£21.50 per person
3. Set the oven at 140 C/Gas 1. To make the filling, put the cream cheese and sugar in a food mixer and beat for a couple of minutes until all smooth. Add the eggs and the extra yolk one at a time, beating each one in thoroughly before adding the next. Scrape down the sides of the bowl regularly.
Mother’s Day
4. Add the orange zest and vanilla extract. Stop the machine and stir in the soured cream with a large spoon or spatula. Fold the mincemeat in with a spoon, stirring only enough to ripple it lightly through the cheese mixture. 5. Remove the cake tin from the fridge, wrap it in tin foil and place it in a roasting tin, then pour in the cream cheese filling. Pour hot water into the roasting tin to come half way up the outside of the cake tin. Carefully slide into the oven and bake for an hour. You will find that the middle of the cheesecake will feel uncooked and wobbly, but that is how it should be. Switch off the oven, close the door and leave the cheesecake for a further hour. Remove from the oven, allow to cool and then refrigerate overnight (don’t try to skip this step, or your cake won’t set) 6. Scatter the top of the cheesecake with the reserved biscuit crumbs and a little orange zest before serving.
Treat your mum to the best Sunday Lunch in the area this Mother’s Day, set against the backdrop of Harbour Views.
