From beneath Kingly Court to a garden in bloom 🌿

brought two serves to Bedford Square, each built around classic French producers with a little English summer thrown in.

The Queen’s Gambit paired Père Magloire VS Calvados with RinQuinQuin à la pêche, gentian, honey and Showerings c***r, while the Elderflower & Peach Bellini combined Gabriel Boudier Elderflower, orange blossom and prosecco.

Fruit, florals, c***r and a little French heritage in the garden ✨

A taste of the Adriatic at 🍸

Bar 45 brought By The Sea to the garden, a fresh, savoury serve built around with caper and grapefruit cordial, olive-infused Lillet, lime leaf bitters and soda.

The gin itself takes inspiration from the Adriatic coast, using botanicals native to the region - which feels very at home in this salty, citrusy little number. ✨

There were two secret bars this year. Did you find the second one? 🔍

Hidden away in the garden, Scales Bar and Bar Kinky created our second hideaway of the festival - partnering with to bring a taste of their intimate London bar experience to Cocktails in the City.

The two bars shared the space, swapping between serving out front and welcoming guests into an even better-kept secret behind the bar: a tiny table hidden behind a curtain, where cocktails were made just inches away.

Same gin, two very different interpretations.

took Renais in a bright, silky direction with Raspberry & Lychee, paired with yuzushu and coconut milk.
kinky brought together Renais, matcha and fragrant osmanthus soda.

Two hidden bars. One elegant gin. Did you manage to find it? ✨

The Martini is having a moment, and Fitz's Bar made theirs long and light perfect for summer sipping 🍸

The Long Martini blended Organic London Dry with dry vermouth, lemon, soda and grapefruit peel. No.3 is the only gin to have won World's Best Gin four times, and in a drink this simple you can taste why.

Did you try this twist on the martini at Cocktails in the City this summer?✨
