JIGGER & PONY

PLAYS: ELECTRO SWING

Jigger & Pony has reopened in the Amara Hotel with a modern-meets-Bauhaus aesthetic. It’s a nod to the 19th century, when cocktail recipe measurements were in “jiggers” and “ponies”. There are also – if you pay attention – a lot of naughty design totems and elements all over the sexy space.

Elevating the vibe is electro swing music, which puts a modern spin on old-school dancing music – just like the cocktails with a twist. The repertoire here is extensive; martinis make up 20 per cent of the revamped menu (which reads like a magazine), varying from the classic to the herbaceous Harvest Martini with local tarragon, cologne mint and butterfly sorrel from Citizen Farm.

This is a convenient and concealed watering hole: We recommend either the alcove by the entrance or level two for a bit more intimacy.
