Rotunda Bar debuts seasonal cocktails
The Rotunda Bar and Lounge at the Four Seasons Hotel London at Tower Bridge has launched a new cocktail menu made with seasonal ingredients.
Called ‘Savour The Season’, the new 10-cocktail menu at The Rotunda celebrates the ‘fleeting beauty’ of the four seasons, offering twists on the classic serves.
This menu is the first created by Michele Lombardi, the hotel’s head of bars, who was appointed earlier this year.
Lombardi and his team aimed to create a menu showcasing spirits in their purest form with seasonal ingredients.
Lombardi said: “This menu is our love letter to the fleeting beauty of the four seasons and the history of this wonderful building, which, as the former headquarters of the Port of London Authority, acted as the gateway between east and west.
“The flavours will change with the seasons, and so will the menu, so we invite our guests to savour the season, as some things are too good to last.”
All the classics on the Savour The Season list have been reinvented using unique flavour combinations and hyper-seasonal profiles, evoking summer’s hot days and cool nights.
Some of the highlight from the new menu include The Pistachio Raspberita, a tart twist to the classic cocktail; Fig à l’eau, a fragrant floral fizz with jasmine, Three Cents Fig Leaf Soda, and Cognac; and Almond Pineapple Mai Tai, which incorporates labdanum, a citrus plant from North Africa and the Middle East, with Takamaka rum from the Seychelles.
The menu is made with sustainability in mind, garnished with leftover ingredients from the hotel, including homemade jelly made from plum jam from breakfast, or a milk chip taken from the coffee service.
The Savour The Season menu is now available at The Rotunda, featuring cocktails priced from £19-£25 (US$26-$34) and non-alcoholic options for £14 (US$19).
