Developed by the lounge’s Head Bartender, Angelo Severini, the special cocktails include the Gold Royal Glam, blended with Rye Whiskey, Peach Brandy, cedar wood essential oils and a mix of herb and floral bitters; Noël Royal, a Moët & Chandon Impérial Champagne base paired with Heering cherry liqueur, gold powder, a raw sugar cube, garnished with an orange twist; and Christmas Kiss, a non-alcoholic drink which draws inspiration from the holiday’s signature red color and Holly berries, resulting in a deliciously festive drink that is citrusy, spicy, and warm.
