Jason Atherton’s London cocktail bar The Blind Pig is set to unveil the second chapter in its ‘Long and Short Great British Tails’ menu – inspired by classic British children’s stories.

The ‘Long and Short Great British Tails’ menu is a “nostalgic celebration” of iconic British literature.

Launching on World Book Day (1 March), the drinks list includes eight new cocktails, with four classics “reworked to include a food element”.

Designed by The Social Company’s group bar manager, Jay Doy, along with the team, the menu continues to draw upon the stories behind some of Britain’s most famous children novels including The Very Hungry Caterpillar and The Hobbit.

New additions include the ABC Fizz, inspired by Beatrix Potter’s character Peter Rabbit and Atherton’s Social Sweets cookbook. The cocktail incorporates ingredients associated with savoury dishes, including carrot and golden beetroot juice, celery sugar, fennel vermouth, apple soda, egg white and citrus with Remy Martin’s 1738 Cognac.

Meanwhile, 5-A-Day is inspired by The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and made with ice from the five fruits from the story (apple, strawberry, pear, orange and plum), with Patrón Tequila, lime cordial and Sekforde Tequila Mixer.

The Blind Pig commissioned illustrator Masha Karpushina to design artwork that “captures the essence” of each story, which is presented in the new menu, itself designed to read like a story book.
