Although the time for enjoying drinks outside at [summer bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seasonal-cocktail) has come to a close in many parts of the world, Sol is recreating the experience of warm, sun-filled days at its three-day [pop-up in London](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheoreom-x-krush-somaek). The Sol Bar is helping to extend the British summertime by sharing the "positive energy of the sun" through sun lamps, a warm breeze, plus the scents and sounds of the summer.

At the bar, guests will get two complimentary drinks, including their choice of Sol or a Sol Chelada cocktail made with beer, lemon juice and agave syrup. Beyond just being a place to reminisce about the summer, the bar offers a place to get a boost of Vitamin D and stimulate the release feel-good serotonin in the body.
