Cocktails are a food group—full stop. Clearly, 14 Hills also shares that belief. Forget boring old classics, these cocktails have some of the coolest ingredients and still pack a punch.
The bar has two new additions to the menu. The Geisha has lemon sake and white strawberry-infused aperol and is topped with heaps of airy cranberry foam. The Wild Citrus has licorice- and chamomile-infused vodka and is finished with limoncello foam that’s thick and tastes like a trip to Italy in a single sip.
The other signature menu items are just as wild. The Snowflake is an elevated pina colada; it’s refreshing and sweet. Their Butter Crunch features peanut butter-infused whiskey that sits for hours so all the flavors can meld properly. You can smell and taste the peanut butter, but it’s somehow not at all overwhelming.
Brunch-lovers will die for the Queen Mary, which features porcino mushroom liquor that smells exactly like said mushroom. I’m not a Bloody Mary person, but this drink spicy and delicious enough that I could feel it in my ears.
The drinks are cool but the restaurant is a whole other story. The design inspiration was an English garden: There are about 1,000 live plants from floor-to-ceiling, including 100 trees and shrubs. Meanwhile, I can barely keep a succulent alive.
Try it all at 14 Hills in London.
