Tried the cocktails - my opinion:
Negroni was very nice.
Espresso Martini - looked good but did not taste so.
Mojito - very poor - not muddled.
Margarita - Ok - would not have again though.

Sorry to resurrrect this thread, but regarding Campari and Negroni, was there ever a consensus as to whether the Negroni is premixed, or is it freshly made in GF?
My reason for asking is that my father is a Campari and soda man, very Luton Airport I know. I'm sure he'd enjoy one as I accompany him to YVR later next month. I did manage to find Campari in the Cathay F lounge when BA YVR flights have been via T3.
I haven't seen any evidence yet that Campari itself is available in GF. I'm grateful in advance for any information on this.

The one time I went up to the bar to ask for some ice, I was sent away with my tail between my legs, directed to the kitchen on the way to the old Champagne area. I gained the impression that they weren't interested in doing anything off piste... like ice.

Campari is there in the self service section with the spirits, or at least was a while ago.
However there has not been soda (club soda) for several years now. I complained - often - but to no avail. Kept getting offered Perrier water . Even from the staffed bar. So I gave up.

The epsresso martini certainly comes out of a can. I once asked if I could watch him make it - ring pull, pour, coffee bean garnish. Voila!!
