For my birthday, we had made the plan to go to The Rivoli Bar and have the Iron Lady cocktail in honour of the great Margaret Thatcher; a woman significant to us for several reasons.
The menu describes the drink thus:
Here we pay tribute to a peerless figure of British politics, “This lady’s not for turning.”
Gin No. 3, Handmade Quinine Bark Cordial, Lime Oils and Champagne
It was simply amazing; one of the best cocktails we had ever had. Beautifully balanced, and smooth but with a kick, just like the lady herself.
Having been to The American Bar at The Savoy recently, the drinks were not even close to the perfection being poured out here at The Ritz.
Happy Birthday, indeed.
