The White Horse
By Aaron Godfrey, Head Bartender, Boho in Weymouth
"Weymouth has always had a way of mucking things up on a spectacular level.
As well as being the harbour that brought the Black Death into England in 1348, we
also managed to displease King George III. In 1808 a grand 323ft hill figure was
crafted to celebrate the King’s love for the town. Unfortunately, the image depicted
the King riding away from the town instead of towards it. His majesty took offence
and never returned. A bit of an over reaction if you ask me.
At Boho we'd like to make a formal apology to George III and encourage him to
return and try a Dorset drink made for a King, though it may be 208 years too late.
Boho has always strived to be ahead of the game
locally. I started here in 2012 and the amount
of wonderful drink delights from all around the
world inspired my career as bartender. Boho is
the trendsetter of Weymouth – many bartenders
who have worked here have gone on to work in
some of the best bars in the world. Though we
often look at amazing spirits and beers from all
across the globe, we never overlook the
amazing products that originate on our own
Dorset doorstep."

25mm Conker Dorset Dry Gin
12.5mm elderflower cordial
25mm single cream
1/2 fresh lemon
Egg white
That's the Spirit
Black Cow Vodka & Conker Spirit
T
his recipe uses equal measures of two of our
most celebrated local spirits. Black Cow Vodka
is the world’s only pure milk vodka, invented by West
Dorset dairy farmer Jason Barber. His 250 cows and
green rolling pasture help give it a smooth, rounded
character and creamy taste. It’s good to sip straight or
over ice with any mixer. Conker Spirit is Dorset’s first
gin distillery, set up in 2014 by Rupert Holloway. Their
Dorset Dry is a classic gin that uses local botanicals
– gorse flowers, samphire and elderberries – for a
bright and refreshing taste. It’s smooth when sipped
and versatile enough for any cocktail.
Method
Shake and fine strain into a
stemmed glass.
Ga r nish
Using the lemon peel.
