Cocktail confectionery company Smith & Sinclair has launched a sensory cocktail pop-up bar in London, offering alcoholic dib dabs, ‘Christmas-infused’ vapours and edible perfume.

Sanderson has launched the Smith & Sinclair Sensory Cocktail Pop Up Bar at Purple Bar

Set in Sanderson Hotel’s Alice In Wonderland-inspired Purple Bar, the experiences introduces the opportunity to ‘play’ with cocktails, “eat your drink” and engage the senses with an exclusively curated drinks menu.

Experiences include drinking liquids that change in both flavour and colour whilst being served and sipped, scented lollipops with alcoholic dib dabs, and pastille pick ‘n’ mix.

Adjacent to the bar, Smith & Sinclair have launched pop up shop The Flavour Room – offering a variety of packaged treats to take away and enjoy at home, spanning chocolate ‘salt and pepper’ mills to a wall of cocktail sherbets.

The menu will be available at Purple Bar until Christmas eve. All cocktails are priced at £18 each, and cocktail packages are available for two people.
