For those of you visiting London at the end of May, for 8 nights only, you can sip an Aperol Spritz while gazing at an Aperol waterfall. To celebrate the 100th birthday of this bitter-orange Aperitif, you can ride on a Vespa carousel, party in a ball pit (in the shape of a giant cocktail glass). There is even talk of taking a dip in “sociable spritz tubs”.
Here is the link to the article: https://www.timeout.com/london/news/london-is-getting-an-aperol-splash-pool-complete-with-its-own-orange-waterfall-042919.
Here are the details for costs/ticktets. The Big Birthday Spritz Social is at Shoreditch Electric Light Station, N1 6HD, Thu May 23-Sun May 26, and Wed May 29-Sat Jun 1 (6pm-10pm on weeknights, noon-10pm on Saturdays and noon-8pm on Sunday). Tickets can be pre-booked at www.lineupnow.com/event/aperol-spritz-big-birthday-social-LDN, but walk-ups will also be accepted.
Unfortunately, I won’t be in London at that time, but for those looking to do something different while visiting and have a nice drink, this may hit the spot. If you do go, please share your thoughts on the experience.
