Embracing the spooky season – and the timeous release of the second film in the vastly popular ‘Wicked’ series – The Ivy on Glasgow’s Buchanan Street is transforming into The Ivy Emerald City.
From 25th October, the upmarket venue will be serving up ‘perfectly pink and gloriously green’ cocktails, to allow its patrons to choose between the Land of Oz’s rival witches Glinda and Elphaba.
Carefully crafted by The Ivy Collection’s expert team of mixologists, the pink team is represented by ‘a taste of something tart but sweet’ – the Rhubarb Bubble, featuring Ketel One vodka, Rhubarb Mead and Doppelgänger Aperitivo blended with a touch of vanilla and served with a magical sprinkling of raspberry sugar dust.
Meanwhile, in the green corner, the Emerald Magic Margarita combines Casamigos tequila with Beesou Honey liqueur and matcha cold brew with a dash of lime and geranium syrup, plus a dusting of Tajin on the rim casting a spell of heat.
The Ivy will also be offering a special dessert crafted exclusively for the occasion – The Emerald City Apple has a chilled apple parfait perched on a golden blondie bed with milk foam, accompanied by a raspberry coulis, complete with a green witch’s hand and a cloud of candy floss.
