Looking Glass Cocktail Club celebrates the launch of its new Fables & Tales Autumn/Winter menu from 17th October. The team have mixed up a storm in the laboratory to create a molecular drinks menu, designed by industry legends Olesia Postnova and Lee Baker.
The new menu celebrates well-known tales, myths and fables from around the world; each providing inspiration for a cocktail. Comprising 13 inventive cocktails, each is designed using key regional ingredients, with a tale reflected in each signature serve.
Enjoy a tipple with the Tin Man in a balloon of smoke as he travels through (The Wizard of) Oz, in a balloon of smoke or venture to Japan and sample Momotarō’s golden peach.
Slip into something comfortable with Puss in Boots featuring a re-distilled Amaro, or perhaps quaff from a golden egg at the top of a beanstalk.
