倫敦調(diào)酒師Matt Whiley是Talented Mr Fox幕后的雞尾酒大師,今年他在倫敦新開的酒吧大受關(guān)注。是的,不出意外,這又是一處精心打造的現(xiàn)代派實(shí)驗(yàn)調(diào)酒根據(jù)地,同時(shí)也是雙關(guān)文字游戲的天堂。Whiley之前調(diào)制過的雞尾酒包括由凈化豬血及“黑布丁蒸餾物”制成的血腥瑪麗、以凈化酪乳和“煙熏骨髓” 調(diào)制的Bone Shaker、還有由人參利口酒和“甜玉米和玉米片蒸餾物”制成的White Ape。這里的酒飲同樣瘋狂,同樣依賴倫敦調(diào)酒界的標(biāo)志性技法。比如由Tio Pepe的雪莉酒、“零點(diǎn)糖”、“黃瓜磷酸鹽”和干姜水制成的Riot Cup Number One;以經(jīng)典越南米粉為靈感,由Pho spirit、白菜和青檸葉制成的Pho Money Pho Problems(Whiley保證這款雞尾酒里決不含肉);以Peg + Patriot烤冰激凌利口酒和起泡葡萄酒Cocchi Brut調(diào)制而成的Rice Rice Baby;由Koniks Tail伏特加、“酵母提取物蒸餾物”以及“鹽酥炸橄欖”制成的Beauty and the Yeast。表面上看,這個(gè)酒單似乎偏愛味道鮮美的雞尾酒。但Whiley堅(jiān)稱,盡管倫敦人的味蕾已 經(jīng)進(jìn)化并愿意接受更多的風(fēng)味,找到平衡永遠(yuǎn)是關(guān)鍵。人在倫敦的他告訴我們:“我不會(huì)說這個(gè)酒單偏向美味雞尾酒,但我相信酒單應(yīng)該要達(dá)到平衡,我覺得美味雞尾酒和其 他苦味、柑橘味和甜味雞尾酒一樣,是酒單不可分割的一部分。”除了調(diào)酒科學(xué)之外,Whiley認(rèn)為Peg + Patriot酒吧不會(huì)成為那種端著架子一本正經(jīng),如宗教般嚴(yán)肅的酒吧,而是一家“充滿樂趣和友好氛圍的鄰家酒吧。”他說他會(huì)將酒單制作的簡(jiǎn)單又直接。“我們?cè)囍鴮⒕茊沃心欠N極客式的雞尾酒描述除去,這樣就不會(huì)造成我們和客人之間的距離感。但如果他們感興趣的話,我們將展示我們調(diào)酒的設(shè)備,并非常樂意向他們講解整個(gè)過程。”

London bartender Matt Whiley, the cocktail savant behind the Talented Mr Fox, has opened one of the most buzzed-about bars in London this year. And, yes, as expected, it’s another meticulously wrought stronghold of modernist, hocus-pocus bartending and pun-heavy wordplay. Some of Whiley’s former cocktails, remember, include a Bloody Mary made with clarified pig’s blood and “black pudding distillate”; the Bone Shaker, a combination of clarified buttermilk and “smoked bone marrow”; and the White Ape, made from ginseng liqueur and “sweetcorn and cornflake distillate”. Here, the drinks are no less barmy or indeed any less reliant on techniques now so central to the London id. Consider the Riot Cup Number One, with Tio Pepe sherry, “O’Clock Sugar”, “cucumber phosphate” and ginger ale; the Pho Money Pho Problems, a rework of the classic Vietnamese noodle soup, made from “Pho spirit”, pak choi and lime leaf (“there’s no meat in the cocktail,” promises Whiley); the Rice Rice Baby, a wind-up of “Peg + Patriot roasted ice cream liqueur” and Cocchi Brut, a sparkling wine; or the Beauty and the Yeast, a mix of Koniks Tail vodka and “yeast extract distillate” that comes with a “fried olive brine crisp.” On the face of it, the menu seems to show a bias for savoury flavours. But Whiley insists that despite advances in the London palate, that now embraces a broader spectrum of flavour profiles, it’s always about finding an even keel. “I wouldn’t say the menu leans towards savoury flavours,” he tells us, from London. “But I do believe menus should be balanced and I see savoury drinks just as integral to our menus as bitter, citrus and sweet cocktails.” Despite the science, Whiley reckons the Peg + Patriot does not set out to offer an uptight, quasi-religious cocktail experience but is instead a “fun, friendly neighbourhood bar.” He keeps the menu short and straightforward, he says. “We try to keep the geekery away from the [cocktail descriptions] so we don’t alienate any of the guests. If they’re interested, though, we have the equipment on show and we’re happy to talk them through the process.”
