The Absinthe Bar

The hardcore can try Death in the Afternoon (bubbles and Angelique Absinthe). And it’s 72 per cent alcohol.

Gin Joint

Not only does this bar have 40 varieties of gin but it’s the first in London to offer chilled gin on tap. It also does gin cocktails. Try Gincognito — Plymouth gin, fresh lime, coriander, cane syrup and Peychaud’s bitters and tonic.
