Here, glass pitchers \u2013 called porrons \u2013 are filled with gin and vermouth and buried in snow or hung from trees, intended to help fortify skiers before their descent.<\/p>\n<p>The installation is accompanied by a tableside cocktail experience with Martini \u2018trees\u2019. Guests are presented with a smaller Martini \u2018tree\u2019, from which they can choose a glass, their perfect ratio of Beluga Vodka to vermouth, and a selection of garnishes and tinctures.<\/p>\n<p>The Martini tree is topped with a dish of Beluga caviar.<\/p>\n<p>The Beluga Vodka Martini \u2018Trees\u2019 Experience costs \u00a390 (US$118) for four full-sized cocktails or \u00a345 (US$59) for four mini versions.<\/p>\n<p>Head of bars Michele Lombardi has also created a festive Martini menu, which is served from the Beluga trolley. This includes the Christmas Martini, finished with a marzipan \u2018olive\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>The bar and lounge is also offering a festive afternoon tea in collaboration with East London bakery Lily Vanilli, as well as a hot chocolate trolley.<\/p>\n<p>Lombardi will host two festive masterclasses on 5 and 18 December, sharing mixology guidance and expert hosting tips. Each masterclass will include a mini welcome drink, the chance to create two festive cocktails and a selection of bar bites and nibbles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEach year, Four Seasons Hotel London at Tower Bridge seeks to capture the spirit of the season in a way that feels truly extraordinary,\u201d said Victoria Lebedeva, director of food and beverage. \u201cThis year, in collaboration with Beluga Vodka, we have reimagined the hotel as an enchanted forest, with exquisite decor by Renatto Ribeiro; an elegant celebration of craftsmanship, creativity and festive indulgence \u2013 exactly what this season is all about.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom our Martini Trees adorned with Beluga Martinis to Lily Vanilli\u2019s exquisite festive afternoon tea and Valrhona\u2019s luxurious hot chocolates, every element has been designed to transport guests into a world of winter charm and timeless sophistication.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, the hotel bar launched an incubator programme to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespiritsbusiness.com\/2025\/10\/four-seasons-spotlights-indie-spirits-brands\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">champion independent drinks brands<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related news<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n                                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespiritsbusiness.com\/2025\/10\/uk-licensing-reform-gets-lukewarm-response-from-on-trade\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n                                    UK licensing reform gets lukewarm response from on-trade<br \/>\n                                <\/a>\n                            <\/p>\n<p>\n                                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespiritsbusiness.com\/2025\/10\/everleaf-thrives-in-uk-on-trade\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n                                    Everleaf thrives in UK on-trade<br \/>\n                                <\/a>\n                            <\/p>\n<p>\n                                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespiritsbusiness.com\/2025\/09\/career-roadblocks-threaten-the-future-of-the-on-trade\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n                                    Career roadblocks threaten the future of the on-trade<br \/>\n                                <\/a>\n                            <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Four Seasons Hotel London Tower Bridge has teamed up with Beluga Vodka to transform its Rotunda bar&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":575898,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7757],"tags":[748,35745,393,97658,4884,257,5208,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-575897","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-london","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-christmas","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-four-seasons","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-london","14":"tag-on-trade","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115564376954404715","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/575897","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=575897"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/575897\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/575898"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=575897"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=575897"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=575897"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
