Perched 52 floors above the city, GŎNG Bar at Shangri-La The Shard, London offers more than just panoramic skyline views — it delivers an extraordinary drinking experience. This summer, the bar unveils Nature & Earth, a new cocktail menu inspired by the lifecycle of a plant, from humble seed to vibrant bloom. Each drink tells a story, blending Asian heritage, sustainable sourcing, and masterful mixology.
A Journey from Earth to Glass
The Nature & Earth menu takes guests on a sensory journey. Each cocktail represents a stage in the plant’s evolution, crafted with a hero ingredient that captures the essence of its moment in nature. From verdant tea gardens to fragrant spice markets, the flavours are as evocative as the views from this luxury London rooftop bar.
Signature Creations with a Story
- Buckwheat – A tribute to resilience, featuring Toki Japanese Whisky, Buckwheat Shochu, and Peach & Jasmine Soda, topped with a savoury fried buckwheat noodle garnish.
- Flesh – Vibrant and bold, with Enemigo Blanco Tequila, Mezcal, mango, citrus, sesame, and oriental spices, crowned with dried chilli.
- Flower – A floral celebration with Orientalist Gunpowder Gin, chrysanthemum honey, citrus, and Champagne, finished with dried petals.
- Sugar Cane – A fresh, local collaboration with Borough Market’s Raya stall, using daily-pressed sugar cane juice, Havana 3yo Rum, Agricole Rhum, pimento, and citrus.
Sustainability at the Core
One of the most unique offerings is The Evergreen — an “invisible” cocktail representing a guest donation to support reforestation through Veritree. Each contribution funds the planting of a native tree in Kent, directly linking your evening’s indulgence to environmental restoration.
The vision for Nature & Earth was brought to life by Assistant Director of Food & Beverage Julien Casanova, Bar Manager Simone Ghiozzi, and Assistant Bar Manager Davide Capirola. Their approach marries luxury mixology with cultural authenticity and eco-conscious design, setting a new standard for high-altitude cocktail bars in London.
