The Refuge Afternoon Tea has had a Little Shop of Horrors upgrade, celebrating the cult musical’s run at Hope Mill Theatre.

The star of the show? A botanical mix of Citadelle Gin, Green Chartreuse, lemon, gomme and fresh basil, finished with a cabernet sauvignon float. Pour it yourself and watch the drink turn blood red before your eyes.

Fresh, theatrical and just a little bit twisted. Thankfully, it only has a taste for wine.
