Meet the Spice and Stormy - crafted entirely in-house at our bar. We infuse rich Diplomático Rum with the sharp, peppery warmth of galangal, shaking it with tropical pineapple juice and activated charcoal for a dramatic, ink-black finish. Topped with fiery ginger beer, it’s bold, complex, and beautifully balanced.

It’s the ultimate way to kickstart your evening in Mayfair.
