- GŎNG Bar at The Shard launches Nature & Earth cocktail menu inspired by plant lifecycles.
- Each drink focuses on a hero ingredient like buckwheat, mango, flowers and sugar cane.
- Seasonal flavours meet visual artistry, from noodle garnish to chrysanthemum petals.
- Guests can order The Evergreen serve to plant native trees via Veritree partnership.
London’s skyline found new connection to nature when GŎNG Bar unveiled its Nature & Earth cocktail menu. Perched on Level 52 of Shangri‑La The Shard, the bar now offers drinks born from Asian heritage and sustainable intent. Every creation from seed to sip draws upon the lifecycle of plants to spark flavour, ritual and impact.
In keeping with recent trends in botanical cocktails and ethical sourcing, Nature & Earth presents signature drinks that embody growth and nuance:
- Buckwheat features Japanese whisky, shochu and handcrafted noodle garnish
- Flesh blends tequila, mezcal, mango and spices for a bold sensory hit
- Flower combines chrysanthemum honey, gin and Champagne for visual elegance
- Sugar Cane uses fresh juice pressed daily at Borough Market by Raya stall
Each cocktail is driven by a single ingredient and visual narrative, showcasing stories from verdant fields and spice gardens.
Crafted by GŎNG’s leadership team, including Julien Casanova and Simone Ghiozzi, the menu reflects deeper values. Hospitality design and mixology come together in drinks that taste delightful and carry meaning.
The menu concludes with The Evergreen, an invisible serve that guests select to support environmental reforestation. A native tree will be planted in Kent for every serve ordered. This aligns with growing consumer demand for purpose-driven experiences and sustainable hospitality.
Nature & Earth offers a mindful alternative to trends in high-octane nightlife. It invites diners to slow down, savour complexity and acknowledge origin. The atmosphere at 52 stories above the Thames becomes a setting for reflection and celebration. With each sip, guests honour craft, culture and care. This reflects GŎNG and Shangri‑La’s commitment to a responsible, sensory-driven hospitality experience.
Nature & Earth is more than a menu, it is a sensorial exploration rooted in nature and nurtured sustainably. Visit GŎNG Bar at Shangri‑La The Shard to experience each stirring cocktail or support tree planting through The Evergreen serve. Elevate your evening with purpose and flavour.
