The Magic of Christmas at Flemings Mayfair
02 Dec 2016
Luxury boutique hotel Flemings Mayfair is serving up fine festive cheer for all occasions this winter. From deliciously warming cocktails in the new Manetta’s bar to special menus with a sprinkling of Michelin magic in recently opened Ormer Mayfair for Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve, festive lunches and private dining, have a very merry Christmas in the heart of Mayfair.
Manetta’s Bar:
The sophisticated new bar Manetta’s has introduced three limited edition seasonal cocktails to sip and savour on cold, wintery nights. Whether snuggled up on one of the Sheraton-style sofas or perched on one of the beautiful bar stools to watch the master mixologists at work, the cocktails embrace everyone’s favourite festive flavours.
Adding to a culturally-inspired cocktail menu that gives a knowing nod to famed creatives such as Agatha Christie and Gertrude Stein, Head Barman Marco Matesi, has looked to historic masterpieces that capture the nativity scene for his new creations (£14 each). The Nativity (Michelangelo Caravaggio) features spiced 15-year-old Glenfiddich with Disaronno, dry cranberry and hints of orange and lemon; The Gift (taken from Leonardo Da Vinci’s Adoration of the Magi), is an elegant gin cocktail with zesty citrus zing from clementine, kumquat and mandarin, while spiced red wine and rum infusion Le Berger (from Georges de la Tour’s Adoration of the Shepherds) warms with cinnamon and spiced biscuit. Slink into Manetta’s from 11am until 11pm every day.
