Summer is an inexhaustible source of inspiration.<\/em>
\nIn the Prince de Galles’ luminous patio, flowers and plants compete in color with the mosaic.
\nThis gave
\nideas to head bartender Christopher Gaglione: “I wanted to create a menu that reflected the sunny days, inventing cocktails with a fresh, light taste that give the impression of having been picked in summer.
\nAn impression enhanced by the original choice of infusion carafes, a unique serving object designed by Martin Kastner for the American firm Crucial Detail and used for the first time in Europe: “I love finding new serving objects. These decanters are magnificent. They’re transparent, so you can see the fruit and flowers infusing, like a bouquet, a painting. Every cocktail served
\nin a decanter is an image of summer.” <\/p>\nAn original idea that inspired the Prince of Wales to collaborate with Editions de l’Epure, a publishing house renowned for its
\nsingular approach to cuisine. This book, featuring Christopher Gaglione’s best recipes for cocktails to be infused, will find its place
\nwithin the “dix fa\u00e7ons de les pr\u00e9parer” collection, a delicate series of books with colorful covers recognizable from
\nall, which likes to get off the beaten gastronomic track.
\nThis method, which involves leaving cocktails to infuse for several hours, also allows the quintessence of each ingredient to be obtained.
\nThe bartender’s art consists in anticipating the mix and letting time take its course: “The carafes are shaped like dials, the bar is called
\nLes Heures… Enjoying a cocktail is a pause, an epicurean pleasure. Allowing customers to savor this peaceful relationship with time is a luxury I’m happy to be able to offer them.<\/p>\n
These summer creations will be accompanied by savoury and sweet bites specially imagined
\nby St\u00e9phanie Le Quellec, Executive Chef of the Prince of Wales, and Yann Couvreur, Pastry Chef. Every day, a new cocktail recipe will be brewed, and in the evening, a limited edition of ten decanters will be available. A summer menu featuring fruit and flowers. Like Verger, a cocktail made with vodka, cider syrup and manzana, infused with fan-shaped apples, lemon strips and zest, cinnamon and apple blossom. Or this Reverso, a translucent blend of pisco, gin and white grape juice where lavender, rose petals, grapes, verbena and citrus zest levitate.
\nUnless you prefer Floraison, a sparkling harmony of wine gin, elderflower cordial and white port enhanced by an infusion of bergamot mint, eucalyptus, rose petals and cucumber.
\nRegulars will also enjoy the decanter variation of Mojito Thai, Christopher Gaglione’s flagship creation, a subtle composition of gin, cr\u00e8me de p\u00eache de vigne, tonic water and angostura bitter in which thin slices of nectarine and white peach, Thai basil,
\nginger and orange zest delicately diffuse all their aromas.<\/p>\n
This menu of infused cocktails, served exclusively at the Prince of Wales, will be complemented by a new offering of six signature cocktails, available from April 8 at Les Heures bars.<\/p>\n
