Hithe + Seek No Further.
This is a stunning contemporary venue with a view of the Thames and Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. Hithe + Seek is a bar and kitchen found in the heart of the City of London. There can be few better places to enjoy the city lights reflected in the waters of this iconic river and no better time to visit than London Cocktail Week – 9th till 19th October.
We tried a brace of London Cocktail Week offerings from Hithe + Seek and they had wide appeal, both being well-crafted and imaginative – and all the event’s cocktails are offered at a very good price for those guests participating.
Blush of Douro is a dramatic melange of port, raspberry syrup, lemon juice and egg white. This is fruity and frothy and fun to drink.
Tennessee Royal has Jack Daniels at its heart, with raspberry liqueur, white peach, cinnamon syrup as the other well-balanced ingredients, and then it’s topped off with Champagne. This would delight any whiskey lover.
More Cocktails
The other London Cocktail Week cocktails at Hithe + Seek include Nocturne Truffe, made with classic London Dry Gin, Lillet, truffle oil, celery salt and mushroom powder; and Chai Charm of Everleaf Forest, chai tea, white peach purée, lemon juice and finished with ginger beer.
Apart from a creditable regular menu of classics, Hithe + Seek boasts an exceptional list of non-alcoholic cocktails reflecting the desire for healthier options. They also have their own gin, called Queenhithe Reserve No. 3 Gin, which gives a nod to the bar’s historic location.
The bespoke gin embodies the centuries-old traditions of classic London Dry Gin and displays notes of not only the necessary juniper but lemon, orange, angelica, liquorice, and lavender. Any gin connoisseur would love to try this, and perhaps in a classy martini!
