Whether your go-to spirit is vodka, gin, tequila, whiskey or rum, you’ll find something delicious to sip on at the Pool Bar. Tequila lovers should definitely try the Royal Citrus Ritatini, made with Avion Silver, Cointreau and fresh lime, or the Smokey Rita — a twist on the classic marg that spotlights Del Maguey Vida Blanco mezcal, triple sec, orange juice and margarita mix. If you’re more into whiskey or bourbon, opt for a classic Manhattan or a Rob Roy, both blended with just the right amount of sweet vermouth. And if you’re in the mood for something ginny, try the blood orange negroni — elevated with a small splash of blood orange, it’ll transport you straight to the storied bars of Florence, where this classic aperitif was born.

MENU HIGHLIGHTS

The vintage décor at R Bar creates the perfect atmosphere to order a classic old fashioned or gimlet, but you should definitely also try one of the signature cocktails on the menu. Those who prefer their drinks on the fruity side will love the Purple Haze, made with Bacardi 8 rum, blue curacao and Pernod, and shaken with pineapple juice, passion fruit puree and a splash of grenadine. For a cocktail that doubles as dessert, opt for the aptly-named Red Velvet Cake, a decadent infusion of limoncello, dark chocolate liqueur, crème de cacao white and strawberry puree. If you’re craving something smooth, but strong, there’s the Green Goddess. It’s a potent blend of Belvedere vodka, Hennessy, blue curacao and mango puree, topped off with a twist of lemon. And for fans of fizzy drinks, it doesn’t get better than the Let’s Get Fizzical, a refreshingly light combination of passion fruit puree, apple juice and St-Germain elderflower liquere topped with prosecco.

MENU HIGHLIGHTS

The English Pub is best known for its wide and diverse selection of beers, but you can also order up a mean cocktail here. If you want something smooth yet strong, go for the James Bond Martini. It’s a powerhouse triad of Belvedere vodka, Beefeater gin, and Lillet Blanc. If you love bourbon, try the Buffalo Manhattan, which swaps out whiskey for Buffalo Trace with sweet vermouth and a splash of Angostura bitters. And if you’re having trouble deciding between spirits, order the Boston Iced Tea Party, made with Tanqueray gin, Bacardi Superior rum, Absolut vodka, triple sec, and sweet and sour mix. Want to try something really different? Ask for a beertini or cockt-ale —mixed drinks infused with brews to create one-of-a-kind libations you can savour slowly..

You can also dial up your night with a glamorous champagne cocktail, topped with Domaine Chandon and sweetened with an Angostura-doused sugar cube. Or sip your way across the Caribbean with a Zacapa rum-spiked daiquiri, shaken hard and double-strained, or a classic Papa Doble, prepared with Bacardi Superior rum, lychee and grapefruit juice. If you’re a fan of the Tom Collins, you’ll find that, too — plus four additional versions that each spotlight a different spirit.

MENU HIGHLIGHTS

The British Pimm’s Cup, the Aperol Spritz, and the Coca-Cola and Kahlua-infused Hennessy Black Bull are staples at Solarium Bar. But if you prefer to unwind with something a little different, opt for one of the premium mixed drinks on the menu. The Kentucky Burgundy is a favourite among bourbon lovers. Made with Maker’s Mark, crème de cassis, fresh lime and strawberry mix, it strikes the perfect balance between spirit-forward, sweet and citrusy. Or keep things simple with an iconic Rob Roy, which spotlights Dewar’s White shaken with sweet vermouth. And if you like your drinks sweet and sour, go for the Washington Apple, a tart blend of Crown Royal, sour apple liqueur, and cranberry juice.

PRO TIP
