There’s two things we enjoy when it’s a bank holiday weekend – eating brunch and drinking cocktails. Check out where to get your eggs Benedict fix here, and read on to find what watering holes you should be hitting come Saturday. Have a good’un:

1. For a Cuban Cocktail: The Rib Room

25_Degrees_Colada

The Drink: 25 Degrees Colada (£15)

The Blend: BACARDÍ Carta Oro, Guava Juice, Coconut Cream, Demerara Syrup and Double Cream

The Story: The Rib Room Bar and Terrace has been transformed into a Cuban hideaway. Featuring carefully crafted cocktails, inventive bar bites and live Latin music, the BACARDÍ Summer Terrace  brings to life the heritage of BACARDÍ. Signature serves include the 25 Degrees Colada – so called as the average temperature in Cuba is 25°C, which is a twist on the classic Pina Colada, and the Mentirita – another twist on a classic, the Cuba Libre – with BACARDÍ Ocho Años, Coca-cola reduction, orange bitters and Pimento bitters. Hit The Rib Room on a Saturday between  7.30pm to 11pm to dance to the sounds of Latin swing, soul and jazz courtesy of a live band.

2. For a Gin Cocktail: Punch Room at London EDITION 

VOGUE100 Punch, The London EDITION 1

The Drink: VOGUE100 (£14)

The Blend: Tanqueray 10, Bergamot Juice, Champagne, Perfume Syrup and Lipstick Foam

The Story: In celebration of British Vogue’s Centenary year, Punch Room at The London EDITION has created the VOGUE100 gin punch, a heady concoction of Tanqueray 10, Bergamot juice and a splash of Champers. This punch takes inspiration from several timeless fashion tropes and weaves them together like a calf skin Bottega Veneta handbag. It begins with gin; a quintessentially British tipple, followed by an intoxicating perfume syrup, complete with tobacco notes (because fashion without fags is nothing), then further soaked in champagne dahhhling and topped with a luscious lipstick foam. Imagine runway Naomi mixed with party Kate and Cara’s brows sashaying around your mouth. Absolutely fabulous.
