Serving up the Spirit of Summer


When the world’s best bartender Charles Joly and our very own super-talented bar manager Luca Missaglia collaborate on creating new cocktails, you’d expect the results to be pretty special – and this week we were excited to unveil them to press and a few lucky guests at special events in the bar at aqua nueva.

Winner of the prestigious World Class Global award, Charles travelled to Hong Kong with Luca to first showcase their Spirit of Summer cocktails at our sister restaurant aqua there, before flying back across the world to launch them here in London. All created using Cîroc Vodka, each cocktail evokes a dream summer destination – perfect for enjoying in aqua nueva’s new destination bar!
