Bloody Menu at Barts

Bloody Liability

This January, Chelsea speakeasy bar Barts are proud to unveil the queen of hangover cures in the form of an entire menu dedicated to the Bloody Mary, with some truly innovative tipples guaranteed to be the answer to all our prayers. 

Several of the drinks on the Bloody Barts Menu are made with Bloodshot Vodka, an artisan liqueur created from over twenty different ingredients, that makes a perfectly spiced Bloody Mary every time. 

The drinks served at Barts will have suitably sanguine names such as Mary Tudor, Bloody Liability, The Devil’s Punchbowl and, for the purists, the original recipe, Bloodshot Mary. The Mary Tudor is a devilish blend of Bloodshot, Rose Jam, Fresh Lemon Juice, Sugar Syrup and served with a garnish of Rose Jam on Toast. One cocktail that guests will feel obliged to try, is the Bloody Liability, a heady mix of Belvedere Vodka, Bloodshot, Fresh Beetroot, Fresh lemon Juice, Honey and a garnish of Green Salad topped with Beetroot and Parmesan Shavings. 

The Mary Tudor

For those seeking a drink that is truly out of this world try The Devil’s Punchbowl, a warm drink served in a teacup and saucer and made with Harvey’s Bristol Cream, Bloodshot, Merlot, Cloudy Apple Juice, Cloves, Cinnamon and Ginger with a side of Chilli Chocolate. 

Barts is a quirky 'speak easy' style bar on prestigious Sloane Avenue in the heart of Chelsea. The mastermind behind these cocktail creations is Vincenzo Sibilia.

Belvedere Vodka and (RED) new bottle design

Belvedere Vodka, the world’s first super premium vodka, announces the second year of its partnership with (RED) and unveils its new bottle design for the BELVEDERE (PRODUCT)RED Special Edition Bottle to raise proceeds for the Global Fund, among the world’s leading financier of programmes to fight HIV/AIDS in Africa. 

The new 2012 (BELVEDERE)RED Special Edition bottle, developed by Polish design firm Dekorglass, unifies the innovative packaging by Belvedere Vodka and iconic (RED) hue; resulting in an eye-catching semitransparent metallic bottle. 50% of profits from the global sale of the (BELVEDERE)RED Special Edition bottle will contribute to the Global Fund. 

The (BELVEDERE) Special Edition bottle delivers a clear, succinct message: Buy (BELVEDERE)RED, Save Lives - making it this year’s perfect Christmas gift. Consumers will still be able to enjoy the same naturally smooth, unadulterated Belvedere vodka within the bottle but help the fight to eliminate HIV/AIDS through a simple purchase of (BELVEDERE)RED. 

The (BELVEDERE)RED Special Edition bottle will launch on 1 November 2012 and will be available for purchase from Selfridges, Waitrose and all other good supermarkets across the UK. This definitely is the perfect Christmas gift.
