. This summer, the bar unveils a curated menu of signature gin cocktails, perfect for discerning connoisseurs and curious newcomers alike.
Green Bar Botanicals & Tonics has established itself as a sanctuary for gin lovers, blending London’s storied botanical heritage with innovative mixology. Their acclaimed Gin Journey menu, designed by award-winning bartenders, highlights both classic and contemporary interpretations of the gin and tonic. Each cocktail is meticulously crafted using premium international gins, boutique tonics, and unique garnishes, with a thoughtful nod to each spirit’s origin and character.
Among the summer highlights: the ‘Clover Club’—a sophisticated blend of Tanqueray Red, handpicked raspberries, fresh lemon, sugar, and silky egg white—and the ‘Royal Summer Cup’, which mingles Pimms, Cherry Heering, and Napoleon liqueur infused with star anise, nutmeg, and Turkish cherries. Guests may personalize their Summer Cup with a choice of gin, vodka, or whiskey, finished with Fever-Tree lemonade or a splash of Prosecco for a refreshing twist.
The bar’s gin collection is particularly impressive, featuring rare expressions such as Tanqueray Old Tom Gin—an homage to Charles Tanqueray’s 1835 recipe, noted for its elevated juniper and subtle sweetness—and Tanqueray Malacca, celebrated for its citrus-forward profile and delicate balance.
Drawing inspiration from the historic Café Royal Cocktail Book of 1937, the Green Bar’s ambiance exudes contemporary luxury while honoring time-honored traditions. Hotel Café Royal describes the venue as “a vibrant destination where Londoners and international guests can experience exceptional drinks, each with a distinctive botanical flair.”
Beyond gin, the Green Bar Botanicals & Tonics offers an immersive Absinthe Experience, showcasing a curated selection of absinthe-based cocktails and rare spirits. Signature drinks featuring mezcal and Armagnac are also available, complemented by a carefully designed small plates menu to enhance your tasting journey.
