Whittard of Chelsea & 108 Brasserie in Marylebone have collaborated to create a Botanical Cocktail Menu
108 Brasserie, the brasserie restaurant and bar on Marylebone Lane, has collaborated with iconic heritage tea brand, Whittard of Chelsea to launch a summery tea-infused cocktail menu, ideal for sipping in the sun.
Launching on August 16th and running until September 1st, the cocktail menu boasts fresh, fruity flavours, each with tea-infused syrups made with natural ingredients. The hero cocktail, The Mar-Tea-Ni, showcases Whittard of Chelsea’s popular Passionfruit & Mango Loose Leaf Tea with 108 Brasserie’s very own 108 Gin.
108 Brasserie’s branded gin is made in partnership with the Hawkridge Distillery, and is infused with heady floral notes, a vibrant citrus core, and a subtle hint of Irish honey from Cork.
This makes it the ideal flavour component when mixed with the fruity and complex tea from Whittard of Chelsea. Alongside The Mar-Tea-Ni, there are three more cocktails with light and refreshing botanical tastes. 108 Gin is also available to purchase at The Marylebone Hotel.
Whittard of Chelsea X 108 Brasserie’s new cocktail menu, includes:
The 108 Gin Mar-Tea-Ni
Similar to a frothy sour, this crisp and uplifting citrus cocktail mixes 108 Gin, with Whittard of Chelsea’s Passionfruit & Mango Loose Leaf Tea, alongside plant-based aquafaba. Served in a chilled martini glass, this is a classy pour.
The Earl of London
Enjoy a syrup made with Whittard of Chelsea’s Earl Grey Loose Leaf Tea combined with a punchy bourbon, this cocktail also blends real raspberry jam and vegan aquafaba. The finish is a delicate and sweet taste of fruity Earl Grey, accentuated with a garnish of dehydrated lemon and served long.
Blushing Bellini
A tea-infused twist on a bellini and served in an elegant Champagne glass, this cocktail blends rosé Champagne, a syrup made from Whittard of Chelsea’s popular Peach, Raspberry & Rose Loose Infusion, lemon juice and a pop of citric acid, to create a truly thirst-quenching tipple.
The Passion
A twist on a daiquiri and with a vibrant orange dusting on the glass, this blend mixes white rum with Whittard of Chelsea’s Passionfruit & Mango Loose Leaf Tea. A passionfruit spritz is sprayed onto the rim of the glass, so with each sip you experience the scent of sunshine and tropical islands.
The cocktails make the ideal accompaniment to a long lazy lunch at 108 Brasserie, where French-inspired dishes such as Chicken Milanese with lemon zest, capers and rocket, Tuna niçoise with soft boiled hen’s egg and Miso glazed black cod are served, amongst other brasserie-style dishes.
The Whittard of Chelsea X 108 Brasserie Cocktail Menu launches on the 16th August and runs to the 1st September. To book a table click here.
