In partnership with Mumm Champagne, Brasserie of Light presents a limited-edition Champagne and cocktail menu inspired by Prohibition-era classics, reimagined with a modern twist. This glamorous collection brings the spirit of the 1920s to life, with standout creations such as the Gatsby Sbagliato featuring Mumm Cordon Rouge, sweet vermouth and bitter rosso, and the Fitzgerald Fizz, a lively mix of Mumm Le Rosé Champagne, Ki No Bi Gin, lemon, coconut and pineapple (Champagne cocktails at £16 each).
