Somewhere by Nico is serving up a dose of festive movie nostalgia with its newly-launched Christmas cocktail experience.
Running from November 18th until January 3rd next year, Nico Simeone’s Glasgow and Edinburgh cocktail venues will be offering an immersive package featuring drinks and presentation inspired by ‘Christmas Movie Magic’, designed to transport guests back to childhood days of festive pyjamas, endless films and eating half the selection box.
At the heart of the experience is a five-cocktail tasting menu, featuring a collection of drinks inspired by some of cinema’s most memorable Christmas moments.
Guests can take on The Wet Bandits, inspired by Home Alone, with a choice of two serves, Harry or Marv, before stepping into the snowy nostalgia of Walking in the Air, a nod to The Snowman, featuring a distinctly Scottish twist with Irn-Bru syrup.
Tan Lines & Tinsel, inspired by Christmas with the Kranks, brings tropical flavours to the festive season, while A Change of Heart takes inspiration from The Grinch.
Completing the five-cocktail experience is Not-So-Hot Chocolate, a chocolate-led creation inspired by The Polar Express.
The venues will also be offering a selection of additional festive cocktails for guests looking to extend their cinematic celebration, including Buddy’s Breakfast, inspired by Elf, the fiery Yippee Ki-Yay!, inspired by Die Hard, and To Me, You Are Perfect, inspired by Love Actually.
Non-alcoholic alternatives will be available across the five-cocktail menu.
Somewhere by Nico’s Darren McCarroll said: “Christmas films have such a special place in all of our festive traditions. Whether it’s watching Home Alone for the hundredth time, singing along to The Snowman or getting caught up in the magic of The Polar Express, these films bring back so many memories.
“We wanted to capture that feeling and give it a Somewhere by Nico twist, creating a cocktail experience that is playful, nostalgic and a little bit unexpected. Christmas is ultimately about togetherness, and what better way to celebrate than with great cocktails and the people you love?”
