Start the Season with a Spring Cocktail from our Cocktail List
As the Cornish landscape awakens with the vibrant greens of spring 2026, the Copper Bar at Penventon Park Hotel invites you to rediscover the art of the seasonal sip. This year, our mixologists have drawn inspiration from the “grand reveal” of our Georgian estate’s gardens, translating the freshness of the season into a menu that balances botanical elegance with a touch of decadent flair. Whether you’re finding sanctuary in our plush lounges or enjoying the golden hour after a day on the coast, our new collection is designed to capture the transition from the crisp mornings of April to the lingering, sun-drenched evenings of May.
At the heart of our 2026 Spring Cocktail Menu is a celebration of “terroir” and lightness, featuring delicate florals and hand-picked infusions that pay homage to our heritage. Expect to find sophisticated riffs on the classics—like our Lychee Vodka Sour and the effervescent Spring Fever—alongside nostalgic, playful creations such as the Rhubarb & Custard. With over 160 gins and a world-class selection of spirits at our fingertips, each cocktail is a masterclass in balance, blending the zing of seasonal citrus with the fragrant undertones of a Cornish garden in bloom

Cherry Bakewell Cocktail
A sumptuous tribute to the beloved flavors of the classic Bakewell tart, but with a spirited twist. The first sip delivers a harmonious explosion of sweetness and tang. The cherry rum creates a bold, fruity foundation, its richness mingling beautifully with the almond warmth of Disaronno. Together, they evoke the essence of a syrup-soaked dessert, satisfying yet never overpowering.
As you savour the drink, the cranberry juice cuts through with its tart, refreshing sharpness, balancing the sweetness of the other ingredients. The almond and strawberry syrups add layers of depth, with the almond’s nutty sophistication complementing the luscious, candy-like brightness of the strawberry. Each sip feels like a delightful dance of contrasting yet complementary flavours.
Lychee Vodka Sour Cocktail
The Lychee Vodka Sour presents itself with immediate elegance. In the glass, it features a pale, slightly cloudy hue, crowned by a thick, pristine layer of white foam that rests like a cloud on the surface. Before you even take a sip, the aroma commands attention. It is highly aromatic and deeply floral, led by the unmistakable perfume of the sweet lychee liqueur. This heady, rose-like scent is beautifully tempered by the bright, zesty essential oils of fresh lemon and lime, inviting you in with a promise of tropical refreshment.
The first sip offers a masterful tension between sweet and tart. The exotic, juicy flavor of the lychee liqueur—evoking notes of ripe grapes, pear, and rose petals—blooms instantly on the tongue. However, it is immediately balanced by the sharp, bracing acidity of the dual citrus blend. The lemon juice provides a sunny, straightforward tang, while the lime introduces a slightly sharper, aromatic bite.
Spring Fever Cocktail
A poetic celebration of vibrant flavors, effortlessly blending the essence of a sun-soaked spring day into every sip. Its taste is a symphony of sweet, tart, and floral notes, perfectly balanced to invigorate your palate.
From the first sip, the bold citrus warmth of Cointreau takes the lead, a burst of orange peel sunshine that beckons the senses awake. Soon after, the subtle, honeyed elderflower notes of St Germain emerge, adding a delicate floral undertone that feels like a gentle breeze across blooming meadows. The Raspberry Bacardi lends a playful fruitiness, its tartness harmonizing beautifully with the sweetness of the sugar syrup and the luscious, candy-like richness of the strawberry syrup.
Rhubarb and Custard Cocktail
The first sip of the Rhubarb and Custard Cocktail is a velvet-textured time capsule, instantly transporting you to a childhood sweet shop. The Arber Rhubarb Gin provides a bright, botanical tartness that slices through the richness, mimicking the sharp snap of a fresh rhubarb stalk. This acidity is immediately softened by the Advocaat and double cream, which create a luxurious, custard-like mouthfeel that coats the palate in a thick, silky blanket. It tastes less like a drink and more like a liquid dessert, balancing the line between sophisticated mixology and pure, unadulterated comfort.
