Don’t Be A Basic Bitch..Drink One..LFW At The Riding House
With its well-groomed interiors and central location, Riding House Café has long been a London Fashion Week hang out. Giving the great and good of style another reason to stop by between shows, to mark LFW SS16 the Fitzrovia restaurant have launched a collection of fashion faux pas cocktails – celebrating sharp slips of the tongue from famous fashionistas.
Available from 18th to 22nd September and priced at £8 each – the four-strong menu includes:
“The Basic Bitch”
Inspired by Kate Moss’ now infamous insult, this tipple is as basic as they come with just two ingredients Homemade Spiced Rum and Punt e Mes, served over ice.
“Reverse Beyonce”
Quip about Solange dressing better than her big sis, from the pioneer of the putdown, Joan Rivers. This blend of Plymouth Slow gin, Cherry Herring, Lemon Juice & Egg White will leave a sour taste in the mouth.
“Only Show Her Back”
Karl Lagerfeld came out with this corker about the other Middleton sister. Like man himself, this blend of Apple, Raspberry, Gooseberry, Honey & Lime intends to jar the senses.
“The Nobody”
According to Anna Wintour, everyone apart from her is a “nobody”. Strong words the US editor of Vogue, like this mix of Tanqueray Gin, Cocchi Americano, Benedictine & Lemon Bitters.
LFW SS16 at The Riding House Café – cocktails as sharp as this seasons tailoring.
