Inspired by urban street-art and culture, Far Rockaway is a great place to try New York’s finest in the heart of London’s creative district! :-) They are well known for their margarita list… try the blueberry version! It is delicious! :-)
6.) Quench Your Thirst With Some Honeysuckle Delights
If you like your spirits, head toward “White Lyan”, this Shoreditch “watering hole” is a perfect place to try some of Lyan’s lair of spirits! One drink I am yet to try is the “Greenback Daisy”, consisting of a ‘healthy’ shot of rum, lime, chlorophyll bitters, honeysuckle soda. When sampling Lyan’s winning drinks don’t forget to try the “Sausage and Vinegar Snack”, which consists of Saucissons, vinegar powder and freshly toasted fennel! Just no kissing after… no-one likes vinegar breath! :-)

Fancy visiting an alternative afternoon tea parlour in London? “Little Nan’s” cocktail den. They make some pretty epic cocktails – that are unlimited!!! For a fee of-course! Drink away until you’re high on life… or gin at the very least! :-) If you fancy a more relaxed affair, head to the cocktail den in the afternoon for some deliciously moorish afternoon tea! Gin is allowed before 2pm,
