The Rome Edition has collaborated with Hendrick’s Gin and The Circle in the creation of Botanical Alchemy, an aperitivo ritual that’s served in the hotel’s idyllic garden.
The menu features four exclusive cocktails crafted with Hendrick’s Gin. Its sleek, apothecary-inspired black bottle is instantly recognisable and here appears in four variations: Original, Oasium, Orbium and Grand Cabaret. Each cocktail is paired with botanical garnishes curated by The Circle, Europe’s largest aquaponic farm, which specialises in edible leaves and flowers grown with exceptional standards of sustainability and quality.
