19th century private clubs inspired the newly reopened Punch Room at the London Edition and its new menu aims to make "punch sexy again." The lounge located within the hotel features a unique menu crafted by bar manager Anthony Callegari and at the same time it promises to make punch new and exciting, it also pays homage to the "true pioneers of punch."
On the Inception menu, which references four influential figures from the history of punch, guests will find flavorful choices like chapter 1, based on the adventures and travels of 17th century German explorer Johan Albrecht de Mandelslo. The Punch Room's Monsoon Punch is made of the popular Glenfiddich 15 Year-Old variant, plus rose petals tea, red port, lime juice, and CCC syrup.
