An exotic Shade of GreyWe won’t say if we’ve dipped into the pages of the bestselling Fifty Shades trilogy. What we will share is that the latest in the series features some shenanigans in “a suite at Brown’s Hotel near Piccadilly” and rather cleverly, the bar team at Brown’s have created a cocktail (no sniggering at the back please) to recreate the passion in E. L. James’ steamy book…
Snuggle up in ‘the naughty corner’ of the Donovan Bar, check out the risque black-and-white photographs adorning the walls and order ‘A Shade of Grey’. It even looks sexy. Combining Chase vodka, Akashi plum sake infused with chilli, fresh passion fruit and lemon juice it’s served with a tempting Lady Grey macaroon on the side.
