Festive cocktails at Tom's Kitchen

Toast the festive season with a choice of celebratory cocktails, wines and champagnes available at the latest venue from Michelin-starred chef Tom Aikens - Tom's Kitchen at Somerset House.

Since the restaurant launch in September, Tom Aikens has developed a menu of seasonal British fare made with the finest produce. The same principles are applied to the drinks menu which features both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options.

With Christmas just around the corner, the Christmas Espresso Martini is a truly indulgent cocktail of vodka, freshly brewed espresso, Kahlua and sugar syrup. Available at Tom's Skate Lounge - the destination venue for those enjoying the annual ice rink SKATE at Somerset House which also offers Mulled Wine and Mulled Cider - this limited edition cocktail is the perfect accompaniment to a Roast turkey, stuffing and cranberry Hot Wrap or a Mince Pie, both also available on the menu.

For a cocktail with a twist, Tom's own creations offer something a little different. The Somerset Berry is a homage to the restaurant's grand surroundings, mixing English Gin with cucumber in a truly unique blend, while the River Martini is an exciting blend of fruit and bubbles, mixed to order by your barman - a fitting choice to sip while seated by the Thames. For a more innovative mix, the Ginger Twister mixes home-infused vodka with orange, ginger and cranberry - enjoy as an apéritif with stunning views from the bar across the capital before dining in the main restaurant.

Choose from classic cocktails including a Mojito with hand-muddled rum, mint, lime and sugar, Classic Martini served with your choice of olives or lemon, or a Manhattan - Bourbon or Rye whiskey stirred with Vermouth and Bitters and inspired by the city that never sleeps.
For those who prefer a non-alcoholic drink, Fresh Lemon Ice Tea and a Non-Alcoholic Mojito are also available while for those looking to toast the season with a glass of fizz, Tom's Kitchen Somerset House offers a selection of champagnes from Lanson.
