Savage Garden has done it again, as a new vibrant cocktail menu “Come as you art” takes to the London skyline. This isn’t just another menu refresh but a full-blown takeover of the senses.
High above the city, where the sparkling skyline dances with the humming music, “Come As You Art” bursts onto the London cocktail scene with colour, chaos, and creativity in every glass. It’s bold, it’s playful, and it doesn’t ask for your attention; it demands it.
Where Art Meets Mixology
A new menu, and a new obsession. We’ve all seen the rise of creative cocktails and platters, but no one has come close to the new creations at Savage Garden.
The “Come As You Art” intuitively blends quality food and drink with playful bursts of artistic freedom — where every creation feels like a character, a story, or a little piece of chaos in a glass.
From tropical, juicy showstoppers to reimagined classics with a rebellious twist, it’s less a menu than a technicolour playground that invites you to sip, experiment, and not take things too seriously.
A Canvas of Cocktails
“Come As You Art” invites everyone to its fabulous drink selection, and this is where things truly come alive. You might start somewhere exotic with the silky Copa Banana, blending hints of hazelnut with creamy banana liqueur for something smooth and playful. Or you may dive into something punchier and juicier with the Tikka Gwaan, blessing your taste buds with pineapple, melon, and a splash of rum that feels like bottled sunshine.
Elsewhere, drinks like La Moradita bring a zesty, vibrant purply lift, while Pop Seduction leans into a more decadent, almost candy-like glamour with a sparkling twist that feels made for the spotlight.
For some, sticking to the classics is still the clear option — but here, even the familiar get a Savage Garden makeover. These are not your average martinis; they have been thoughtfully transformed into something bolder and far more intriguing. The Espresso vs. Amaretto Sour blends authentic Maya coffee with Lazzaroni Amaretto, delivering a rich, velvety contrast that lingers long after the last sip. Going down the exotic lane once again, a juicy creation combining a Margarita and Maraschino Luxardo awaits. This one, labelled the Margarita vs. Hemingway, perfectly shows off what it entails.
This extravagant new menu even features a ‘sober sips’ section, truly offering something for everyone. The Fatata Te Miti is the most refreshing of the bunch, coloured a beautiful pastel pink, and incorporating fresh passion fruit and papaya with sugarcane, lime & bergamot.
Of course, it doesn’t end here. Moving over to a sourer and tangier beverage titled Awakenings. A naturally wonderful blend of cranberry, apricot, sour, and three spirits livener to toast to the evening.
As you can see, every drink feels like its own. Its own moment, and its own mood – unexpected, a little theatrical, and entirely unapologetic. Exactly how a Savage Garden cocktail should be enjoyed.
The Food
As if the night couldn’t get any better, the energetic array of food steps up with just as much flair. Designed to complement the cocktails without fading into the background, the menu is a playful mix of bold flavours, vibrant presentation, and the perfect amount of indulgence.
The dishes themselves are just as eye-catching as the cocktails, with a lineup that’s designed to turn heads as much. Spanning across multiple countries and cultures, you can find starters from Italy, mains from Asia, and sweets with no limits on region.
For someone aiming to dive right into the experience, you’ll find Savage Garden’s signature dish, “The Red One”, featuring a pulled-beef burger with egg and shoestring fries. For something on the lighter end, a multitude of tasty pizzas and bao bites are ready to go. Finally, to end the night with something sweet, a fine selection of Mochi is glistening off the menu.
Think elevated bites that are made for sharing (or not), where familiar favourites are given a Savage Garden twist – unexpected, a little cheeky, and seriously moreish. It’s the kind of food that keeps pace with the drinks, making it impossible to stop picking at it as the night unfolds.
Drinks with a View
What’s the best accompaniment to amazing drinks and food? An amazing view. Not only do you get to sip your drinks in style, but you’re treated to breathtaking scenes of London’s most iconic landmarks, including The Shard and the Tower of London. Glittering, glowing, and impossibly cinematic.
Perfectly perched high above the city, Savage Garden turns every sip into a skyline moment, where sunsets melt into neon-lit nights while the energy of London hums beneath you. Right in the heart of it all, you’re invited to something more than just dinner and drinks. This is a view worth raising a glass to.
The Minds Behind the Menu
Behind the magic is none other than Marco Matesi and Alessandro Lintas, the creative forces turning Savage Garden’s bar into an artistic reality. Known for their boundary-pushing approach, they don’t just build drinks but craft experiences, blending bold flavours and unexpected ingredients, resulting in a healthy dose of mischief.
Marco and Alessandro’s “Come As You Art” menu feels like an extension of their personality: vibrant, rebellious, and defiantly fun, where classic techniques meet fearless experimentation. It’s the vision that transforms every cocktail into more than a drink. Each one is its own little performance, crafted by a bartender who isn’t afraid to colour outside the lines.
Overall
In a city that is becoming a haven for mixology, Savage Garden manages to do something rare, which is making you feel something. From the artful chaos of the cocktails to the electric skyline stretching out below, “Come As You Art” isn’t just a menu; it’s a mood, a moment, and a real escape from the ordinary.
It invites you to loosen up, lean in, and drink with curiosity, where every detail – from the glass in your hand to the surrounding view – feels intentionally unforgettable.
