The Municipal Hotel & Spa launches new cocktail menu inspired by Liverpool’s ‘rhythm and soul’

The Municipal Hotel & Spa MGallery Liverpool has launched a brand-new cocktail menu within its elegant Palm Court Bar.

Titled ‘A Love Letter to Liverpool’ the cocktail menu is crafted in tribute to one of the UK’s most charismatic and soulful cities with four new cocktails included.  

Each cocktail acts as a theme that looks to capture the city’s unique rhythm and soul. Guests can expect a bit of cheek, a touch of nostalgia and plenty of bold expressive flavour. 

The new menu is a collaboration between the hotel’s Palm Court Bar Team and luxury hospitality agency Anna Sebastian Hospitality, who are best known for their work with major luxury hotel and resort groups including Fairmont and Raffles. It is a celebration of the city, highlighting its rich musical legacy, iconic landmarks, legendary locals and unmistakable wit. It’s inspired by the city’s vibrant past and its ever-evolving present, from the cobbles of Penny Lane encompassing aspects of Scouse culture and heritage.

Anna Sebastian, Luxury Hospitality Consultant said:

“It has been a pleasure to work with the team on this project and see Liverpool through the lens of a local.  We wanted to work together to create something fun, playful and engaging for the guests as well as bring the vibrancy of Liverpool to life through a little bit of liquid storytelling.” 

The menu features four new bespoke cocktails, each inspired by the city’s people and heritage, with a touch of theatre in every serve; from postboxes and domes to smoke and bubbles. 

Among them is The Municipal’s House Signature: ‘Made Up Mist’, a playful Scouse twist on the classic French 75. This enchanting cocktail blends Citadelle Gin, Municipal Champagne, Vanilla, and Rinquinquin Peach to create a drink as magical as its name. In Scouse slang, ‘made up’ means overjoyed, the very feeling guests experience as the golden mist gently lifts.

Next on the menu is the Born & Bred cocktail, Docklands Martini, for the locals, by the locals. This cocktail offers roots deeper than the Mersey and includes ingredients such as Bombay Sapphire Gin infused with Cacao Butter, Tio Pepe, Balsamic Vinegar and Martini Bianco. This cocktail is as classy as The Liver Building and just as sharp. 

Inspired by Liverpool’s legendary soundtrack of iconic bands and singers, the menu also features the ‘Sound of the City’ cocktail, Yellow Submarine. Inspired by the Beatles classic, this cocktail features ingredients such as Belvedere, Mezcal, Yellow Chartreuse, Lemon, Chamomile, and Turmeric. 

Celebrating the bespoke slang legacy of the city, the menu also features the ‘Love & Legacy’ cocktail titled ‘Boss Tha’ inspired by the Liverpool slang of saying something is great, consisting of Grey Goose, Cherry Cordial, Smoked Lapsang tea, Champagne and served in its very own postbox. 

Annie Brown, General Manager of The Municipal Hotel commented:

“Just like Liverpool, this menu is full of heart. It tells stories of Liverpool’s culturally rich past and present and gives deep appreciation to the people who make the city what it is. Whether a guest is a proud Scouser or simply just passing through, this menu raises a glass to a city that never fails to make an impression.”
