This winter, step into a delightful oasis where Italian aperitivo culture seamlessly blends with the enchanting allure of Dalloway Terrace. That’s right, the magic of the aperitivo isn’t just for summer after all, as London’s most loved terrace has collaborated with ItalicusRosolio di Bergamotto to create a sophisticated winter wonderland.
The installation captures the nostalgic wonder of stepping outside your door to find snow-capped fir trees, frosted pinecones, and seasonal foliage glistening in the golden glow of winter morning dew – which is fitting, given that ‘Rosolio’ comes from the Latin ‘rosolis’ which translates to ‘morning dew’ and farmers would harvest the ingredients early in the morning when the flavour concentration was high and the crop was heavy with dew.
As you enter, twinkling fairy lights greet you, carrying whispers of laughter and the enticing aromas of freshly prepared delicacies. Drink it all in with expertly crafted cocktails that blend festive flavours with Italian aperitivo culture using ItalicusRosolio di Bergamotto. The Mandarin Mimosa brings a winter twist to the classic, Spritz aperitivo cocktail with a delicate blend of ItalicusRosolio di Bergamotto, mandarin, lavender and prosecco; while the Bergamot Americano combines ItalicusRosolio di Bergamotto with Beefeater pink strawberry gin, Lillet Blanc, and soda water for a refreshing drink.
The Peperoncino Margarita is made for those seeking some spice as it mixes ItalicusRosolio di Bergamotto with Olmeca Altos tequila, Calabrian chilli peppers, agave and lime. The menu also features a non-alcoholic Cortina Spritz made with Everleaf Mountain and London Essence white peach and jasmine soda. All of the cocktails on the menu are £16, and the mocktail is £13.
The contrast between cool, crisp winter aesthetics and the warm, glowing accents provides a stunning backdrop (worthy of a feature in any Instagram feed!) to enjoy a long Sunday lunch, a cosy December date night, a pre-theatre menu or an afternoon tea with your besties. Dive into delicious, warming mains such as mushroom and artichoke risotto with winter black truffle, massaman red curry and portland fresh crab linguine, and satisfy your sweet tooth with desserts including espresso chocolate fondant and treacle tart with calvados ice cream and candied pecans.
In a world that’s content with the expected, Italicus is the effortless spirit of the modern Italian renaissance and inspires the discerning to enjoy elevated experiences such as this one at Dalloway Terrace, where every moment is a celebration, and every toast is a tribute to the joy of being together.
