The Coral Rooms Great Adventure cocktails – a review

If you’re a fan of books like Around the World in Eighty Days, there’s a brand-new cocktail menu you should know about in The Coral Rooms.

Set within The Bloomsbury off Tottenham Court Road, The Coral Room has come out with a new menu inspired by the travels of Richard Crosbie, who was famously the first Irishman to make a manned flight in 1785.

Some of our personal highlights include the sweet Kola Koala, inspired by the Australian Outback with rum, Black Coffee Amaro and banana, as well as the Silver Nymph, presented in a Greek Parthenon and created to resemble tzatziki with Greek yoghurt, Vodka and cucumber.

Each cocktail is unique and they pay tribute to various countries, from Japan to Italy. (Image: Emily Davison)

Each cocktail is unique and they pay tribute to various countries, from Japan with the fruity Shisoni, which was a play on a classic Negroni, to Italy with the Botticelli, made with extra virgin olive oil.

If you like unusual flavours and themed drinks, The Coral Rooms is worth visiting if you happen to be in Tottenham Court Road.

The cocktails aren’t the cheapest, priced at £17 each, but the elegant location and novelty menu does make it a good spot for birthdays, pre-theatre drinks or any celebration.
