Launching a book at Christmas turned out to be the most perfect time of the year to celebrate as everyone seemed joyful and the mood was a perfect match for our Scapegrace Dreaming In Petals Cocktail… few could resist when they walked in the door.

The large chunks of ice worked well, keeping the drink cool without diluting it, and even the colour was on point, matching the rich and dazzling pink blooms surrounding us!

Other beverages on offer included a modern twist on a classic G&T, using Scapegrace Gin and East Imperial grapefruit tonic with a slice of fresh orange, as well as Terra Sancta wines - both the Pinot Noir Rosé and Lola’s Block Pinot Gris.

For those in the mood for a non-alcoholic beverage, we had the most delicious yuzu lemonade from East Imperial, and the very elegant Fleck mineral water…with it’s stunning bottle.
