whats new 852 the envoy drinks

The Envoy

Inspired by one of our favourite kids books (and films!), The Jungle Book, The Envoy is bringing a new cocktail menu for the summer months, with drinks reflecting two distinct themes of flavors: “The Jungle” and “The Waterfall.” For darker and more intense flavours, taste a cocktail from “The Jungle,” and sample “Does It Burn” ($148), made with Michter’s bourbon, Mezcal, Aperol, Earl Grey & red apple syrup, Dr. Adam Elmegirab’s Teapot bitters and bourbon barrel smoke. Or, enjoy the lighter side of summer with “The Waterfall.” The Picnic Spritz ($128), with cucumber redistilled gin, rosehip & hibiscus cordial, mint and Fever Tree soda water, has certainly caught our eye – amongst others on the new menu!

Listen to his set of evocative playlists and dance the Monday blues away.  Wine-derlust Wednesdays has a seasonal wine and cheese buffet to get you through that midweek slump ($330 from 8pm to 10:30pm).  Afro-beat Thursdays are all about dancing to those soulful tunes while you munch on some bar snacks and treat yourself to some well-deserved cocktails. From 6pm to 12am, Helen Ting will be putting on beats for the after work groove session.  Deep Chill Sundays is when you can enjoy live performances with Olivia Dawn and free flow fries from 6pm to 12am. And, finally, WOOBAR introduces a brand new free-flow champagne package available everyday from 9pm to 11:30pm (except Wednesdays). It’s never a good idea to drink on an empty stomach, so thankfully, guests have the choice of choosing which champagne package to go with. There’s Veuve Clicquot ($380) and Ruinart Rose ($888) but the Dom Perignon Luminous comes with premium Joselito Iberico ham ($1,888).
