Served with a smile
There is an undeniable feeling of satisfaction when a freshly made cocktail is placed in front of you. We see the smiles on faces, and there’s no denying that it’s down to the wonderful flavours our bartenders fuse.
You’ll find classics, modern twists, and maybe even some hidden gems. Here are some picks from the cocktail menu to help you:
Passionfruit Martini
Espresso Martini
Margarita
A timeless classic with a Chef & Brewer twist. Jose Cuervo Silver Tequila meets Mexican lime and Italian blood orange for a bright, zesty take that’s as refreshing as it is refined. Great for celebrations, or simply when you want a cocktail that never lets you down.
Meet our house pour, Brewer’s Pale Ale
Every pub should have a signature, and ours comes in the shape of our exclusive house cask ale, Brewer’s Pale Ale.
Golden in colour with gentle floral notes, hints of tropical fruit and a whisper of spice, it’s balanced and pleasingly sessionable at 4% ABV. It’s the sort of pint that suits a relaxed lunch, a fireside evening or a catch-up that effortlessly turns into a second round.
Whether you're scouting our deals or visiting the George in Earley after a lovely countryside walk, this ale is easy-going, dependable, and the type of drink you're glad to see waiting for you.
English Garden
Fresh, floral and endlessly soothing. Warner’s Elderflower Gin, sweet apple and a squeeze of lime create a gentle, breezy sip that pairs beautifully with relaxed weekend catch-ups.
Spritzes made for lingering moments
Some cocktails deserve a slower pace — sipped with friends, savoured over long lunches, or enjoyed while the sun dips behind the trees.
Aperol Spritz
Bright, bittersweet and bubbly. The perfect companion for golden-hour gatherings, afternoon treats or those special family moments.
St-Germain Hugo Spritz
Elegant, floral and filled with charm. St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur, prosecco and soda create a delicate, refreshing spritz that’s made for slow sips and good company.
Pink Gin Spritz
Beefeater Pink Gin, bubbles, lemonade and strawberries make this one a sparkling, joyful classic—ideal for celebrations big and small.
Lillet Rosé Spritz
Fresh and lightly fruity, this beautifully balanced spritz with Mediterranean tonic offers a soft, summery flavour that shines all year round.
Limoncello Spritz
Bright, lively and ready to lift at any moment. A zesty, refreshing favourite that instantly brings a holiday mood to your table.
Alcohol-free cocktails just for you
If you’re pacing yourself, driving, or simply prefer something lighter, our low & no cocktails are crafted with the same care as the rest of our menu:
Clean Mojito
A crisp, cooling blend of Mexican lime and Moroccan mint, fizzing with soda for a refreshing non-alcoholic twist on a classic favourite.
Clean Blood Orange Spritz
Vibrant, zesty and full of sunshine notes—a beautiful, bright alternative that doesn’t skimp on flavour.
Pink Berry 0%
Fruity, uplifting and wonderfully refreshing. Warner’s Pink Berry 0% meets raspberry lemonade for a perfectly balanced, alcohol-free pick-me-up.
Our perfect pairings
We believe the right cocktail can make a dish sing, and the right dish from our food menu can make a cocktail shine. Whether you're joining us at the George for a leisurely lunch or a slow-and-steady dinner, our seasonal menu offers pairings that feel like they were simply meant to be.
Why not try these delicious combinations when you visit restaurants with cocktails near you:
Passionfruit Martini × Crispy Squid: The Passionfruit Martini’s mango and vanilla notes are a beautiful match for our Crispy Squid with roasted garlic mayo.
Aperol Spritz × Pan-Fried King Prawns: The refreshing bitterness of the Aperol Spritz cuts beautifully through the rich wild garlic butter of our Pan-Fried King Prawns.
English Garden × Whipped Goat’s Cheese: The light elderflower and apple sweetness of our English Garden gently lifts the creamy tang of Whipped Goat’s Cheese with hot honey and pistachio crumb.
Mojito × Vegetable Grill: With roasted squash, flat mushrooms and charred courgette, the grill pairs beautifully with the crisp lime and Moroccan mint in a classic Mojito.
For something warming and homely, pair the deep, savoury comfort of our Lamb Shank Shepherd’s Pie or Mushroom & Ale Pie with the soft bitterness and fizz of a Lillet Rosé Spritz. For a taste of the coast, our Hand-Battered Cod & Chips and Grilled Sea Bass & King Prawn Risotto shine with the citrus-forward Margarita.
A Signature Burger or Mixed Grill pairs beautifully with a St-Germain Hugo Spritz. The floral elderflower and bubbles lift savoury, smoky flavours without overpowering them. For something light and garden-fresh, the Roasted Vegetable Grain Salad matches wonderfully with a Clean Blood Orange Spritz — bright, zesty, and refreshing without the alcohol.
Whatever you’re in the mood for, there’s a cocktail that matches the moment.
