San Carlo has always had a talent for transporting people. Walk into any of their restaurants, and you get that unmistakable Riviera feeling straight away: bright, elegant, sun-kissed energy, the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to order seafood, sip something cold and pretend you are steps from the Mediterranean. They are known first and foremost for their food, of course, but their drinks program has quietly become just as impressive, built around freshness, balance and that effortless Italian sense of occasion.


For the July edition of Cocktails in the City, San Carlo will be showcasing this side of their personality in the festival’s private garden, bringing a little Riviera glamour to the heart of London. They are partnering with London Essence to celebrate the launch of the new London Essence Riviera Tonic Water, a pairing that could not be more on brand. The tonic is bright, crisp and coastal in character, and San Carlo know exactly how to build drinks that let those flavours shine. The event will feature a rotating line-up of San Carlo Alto, San Carlo Cicchetti and San Carlo Regent Street.


Expect something refreshing, stylish and unmistakably summery. A taste of the Riviera, served outdoors, surrounded by trees, right in the middle of the city. A perfect fit for July.
