The most incredible part about it is that it comes in a jar with glowing blue ice.
The beautiful colours and fruity taste of this cocktail combine into a delicious creation, which at the same time has quite nightmarish vibes. With the dimly-lit interior, Every Cloud looks like a cellar that’s been used for strange scientific experiments that have resulted in this and other unique cocktails. The weird choice of wallpaper only exemplifies the mysterious atmosphere. Have I mentioned the porcelain eagles?
Made using a combination of Islay Whisky, vermouth, and white chocolate liqueur, this cocktail is one of the most popular ones served at the Islay Heritage. The rich, smooth taste is bound to leave you mesmerised. Served in a beautiful foggy dome-like decanter, this cocktail is definitely something you should try if you’re after a unique experience.

This one is definitely on the expensive side but still worth a try! Combining quality whisky with Kobe beef (this isn’t a joke), this bar takes unique to a whole new level. Serving other incredible cocktails on the 39th floor of the Heron Tower, Sushisamba is certainly one of the weirded places in London to go to for a few drinks.

Sticking to the theme of meaty cocktails, this one’s definitely up there on the list of some of the most unique cocktails that London has to offer.

Who knows, maybe it could even be used as a substitute for breakfast!
If you look carefully at the name, you may be able to figure out what’s going on. Essentially, this cocktail comes with a pair of teeth (literally). The lovely dentures floating at the bottom of the clear glass make this cocktail both unique and somewhat unsettling.

This is definitely one of the most creative unique cocktails in London!

This is definitely one of the most beautiful cocktails on this list. It really does look like a flat ocean surface with an iceberg tip visible just above the water’s edge.
