Enjoy a delicious rustic picnic with Tanqueray gin cocktails in the sunshine at Bar 31’s summer terrace in the Shangri-La…
Summer is well and truly here and we’re all busy scrambling to find the best places in the capital to cool off. And one outdoor terrace you don’t want to miss is Bar 31 at the Shangri-La. This summer Bar 31 and Tanqueray Gin have joined together to create an alfresco garden terrace in the heart of London Bridge.
The Bar 31 terrace is open from Wednesday the 24th of July through until the end of September, meaning there is plenty of time to get your fix of the suns rays, an ice-cold Tanqueray gin and tonic in hand. The Tanqueray residency invited you to experience a new citrus-inspired cocktail menu at the bar, which has been transformed into a floral garden complete with paper lanterns, wild flowers, warm glowing lights and plenty of fresh herbs and plants. Highlights on the menu include the likes of the Royal Blush cocktail – made with Tanqueray No. TEN, rhubarb, lemonade and fresh raspberries and the Lovage cocktail which mixes Tanqueray Lovage with Fever -Tree Tonic, coriander and Juniper berries. You can choose from a range of bold botanicals and garnishes to bring out the fresh aromas of the gin.
And that’s not all. Picnic benches and comfortable outdoor seating fill the open-terrace and to complete the experience, Bar 31 have also launched their very own picnic box. Featuring half a roast chicken, Cornish Yarg Cheese from Neal’s Yard Dairy, freshly made sourdough bread from Bread Ahead, piccalilli, salad and a homemade hummus, the box meant for two is the perfect sharer. As well as this, Bar 31 are also hosting a Tanqueray cocktail masterclass with award-winning bartender and Tanqueray Brand Ambassador Jack Sotti on the 14th August on the summer terrace. You will have the chance to create the perfect gin cocktail to suit your palette.
The Tanqueray garden terrace is now open and will be available until the end of September 2019. Opening hours are Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 11:00am to 10:00 p.m. and Thursday through to Saturday from 11:00am to 11:00 p.m. Reservations are not required, and tables are available to guests on a first-come, first-served basis.
