The Mimosa Bar & Restaurant at the boutique
Jumeirah Lowndes Hotel in Belgravia has launched late night cocktails, midnight treats and an 'Emergency Overnighter' to celebrate their new late license to 1am.
'Nightcap Cocktails' are mixed with sleep-inducing ingredients such as hot chocolate, Amaretto, crème de cacao and banana. In contrast, Mimosa's Tequila Sunrise, Mojito Loco and Midnight Rush are designed to help you dance until dawn.
To accompany the cocktails there's a new 'Midnight Feast' menu of classic late night dishes. Mimosa's 'small bites' include a croque monsieur, beef sandwich and traditional cheese (or beans) on toast. For a 'big bite' you can feast on a gourmet burger, spicy chicken tikka masala or fish and chips.
