BALTIC

Just south of the Thames, you'll ­nd a slice

of Eastern Europe. Baltic specialises in Polish

and Russian cuisine, and unsurprisingly its

vodka selection is one of the best in the

capital. Beluga Noble, Transatlantic and Gold

Line are all on o™er, and the food-pairing

capability of all three is really brought to

the fore. The match of a bone-dry Beluga

Noble Martini with Royal Belgian Oscietra

Caviar is a real taste of luxury.

CHILTERN FIREHOUSE

Opening earlier this year, Chiltern Firehouse

was immediately awarded blanket press

coverage for the exceptional quality of the

restaurant's food - unsurprising when the

kitchen is headed up by chef Nuno Mendes.

Snagging a table in the restaurant is tough,

but get yourself into the bar where you can

enjoy a sophisticated Sire Pyrio - Beluga

Noble with sweet vermouth, served straight

up and ice cold, with an orange twist.

DUKES BAR

Dukes Bar's Martinis are legendary, and

this is the very place where Ian Fleming

­rst enjoyed a Vesper Martini - a creation

he kindly decided to share with his own

invention, James Bond. Order the Le Chi™re

- named after one of Bond's most dastardly

opponents. It blends Beluga Noble with a

house-made chilli vodka, Sacred Rosehip

Cup and Solerno Blood Orange Liqueur.

SW1A 1NY; 020 7491 4840; dukeshotel.com

OBLIX

From the comfort of the bar at Oblix,

you can see every London landmark

spread out hundreds of feet below you.

The bar more than holds its own against

that spectacular view, with one hell of a

drinks selection, including Beluga Noble,

Transatlantic and Gold Line. We've been

allowed a sneak peek at the brand new

cocktail list - we're sworn to secrecy but

can con­rm it's looking excellent, and that

Beluga will play a central role.

ONE CANADA SQUARE

Set inside another iconic aspect of the

London skyline, this is a welcome splash

of colour and fun in the great glass world

of Canary Wharf. Toast a big deal, or just

the end of a working day with One Canada

Square's Beluga Noble Martini, mixed and

garnished to your exact speci­cations.

SKYLON

Smack in the middle of the Southbank,

Skylon at the Royal Festival Hall couldn't be

better placed for a cocktail break, o™ering

stunning views of the river and excellent

drinks. Our favourite is the juicy Noble

Martini: Beluga Noble, Solerno Blood Orange

Liqueur and fresh lime juice, garnished with

an orange twist: a refreshing summer sipper.
