The cocktails are created around the theme of refracting light, and the menu is dividend into seven colors (with two cocktails per color). For example, try the Starry Nights out of the ‘Blue’ section, which is crafted with Beluga Gold Line Vodka, sake, black rice milk distillate, lacto-fermented rock melon, sesame, Chablis and caviar and served in Baccarat Harcourt Talleyrand Tumblers.

All glassware is available at Harrods’ Baccarat boutique on the third floor.
The cocktail menu will evolve every six months to include the concoctions of guest bartenders. Food, crafted by Harrods’ in-house culinary team, is also available. The Baccarat Bar in Harrods is now open and reservations are now available.
