Along the Italian Riviera, every setting seems to suggest a drink – a citrus refresher on a sunlit beach or a crisp martini by the sea. Lavo’s new cocktail programme channels this easy sophistication with a selection designed to take you from day to night.
Spritz-style signatures include Eternal Summer – a zesty mix of vodka, Aperol, red dragonfruit and prosecco – and Amalfi Breeze, a tropical, effervescent blend of gin, coconut liqueur, pineapple, citrus and coconut water. For those who prefer the classics, the bittersweet Spumoni and the peachy Bellini bring a sparkle to any table.
As the light fades, a dedicated sundowner menu helps to set the tone. The Cin-Cin, with bourbon and apricot brandy, is aromatic and herbaceous, while From Sicily with Love pairs basil-infused vodka with lemongrass, ginger ale and Peychaud’s bitters. For something more robust, the Riviera Rosso and Lavo Negroni offer a smoky, complex finish.
With nightfall, Lavo shifts gear – becoming a lounge venue with live DJ sessions and guest acts such as celebrity DJ Kim Lee, who played at its recent grand opening. Lavo Soiree brings late-night energy every Friday and Saturday from 9pm to 1am, while Weekend DJ Brunch runs from 11am to 3pm on Saturdays and Sundays for a breezy start to the day.
