For the 2nd year we’re proud to be partnering with Virgin Atlantic Holidays as a drinks partner in the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse at SKATE at Somerset House. Running from 11th November - 10th January, SKATE is one of London’s most iconic festive experiences, set in the 18th-century courtyard of Somerset House. 

If you’re planning a visit to SKATE for a magical day out in the heart of London this festive season, you can enjoy the perfect cup of Twinings hot tea, a cold Sparkling Tea or a Swiss hot chocolate in the comfort of the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse.

The drinks menu takes its inspiration from Virgin Atlantic Holidays’ most dazzling destinations, each sip crafted to whisk guests somewhere extraordinary. Guests can taste the sunshine with a Mexican Margarita inspired by Cancún’s golden beaches, feel the island rhythm in an Escape to Grenada, or let an Empire Espresso Martini bring a little Manhattan buzz to a chilly London night.  Alongside these destination-inspired creations, the menu also features two Virgin Atlantic classics, shaken up: the iconic Redhead cocktail and its signature Virgin Atlantic Bloody Mary, mixed with Sapling Climate Positive Vodka and The Pickle House Bloody Mary Mix. 

Those seeking something sparkling can raise a glass of Hambledon’s celebrated English fizz. Guests can also discover a Perfect Pairing — from Welsh-born Cygnet Gin to Pantalones’ crisp tequila, all served with Fever-Tree’s finest signature mixers. And if guests prefer something soothing, Twinings offers a world of flavour, from its velvety Swiss hot chocolate to teas that span the globe. Favourites on the menu include Glow, a strawberry and cucumber blend that tastes like summer, and Classic Chai, infused with the spice and warmth of India.
