The huge letters spelling out “LOVE” are impossible to miss at Letní Letná. And right behind them is a spot where the summer festival atmosphere meets premium gin, top-quality tonic and a generous dose of refreshment. The Gin & Tonic Love Spot serves up imaginative twists on the beloved classic – from the refreshingly Mediterranean Portofino & Tonic, through a Japanese-inspired combination featuring Nikka Coffey Gin, to the fruity Brockmans. And because there’s no need to rush a good drink, simply settle into a comfortable armchair and enjoy Letní Letná.
Behind the giant LOVE sign, a gin & tonic with character awaits
You might stumble upon some festival spots by chance, but you really can’t miss this one. The giant LOVE sign acts as an unmissable guide and will reliably lead you to a place where not only love is on offer, but above all a well-mixed gin & tonic. The Gin & Tonic Love Spot is the ideal stop when you fancy something refreshing between a performance, a stroll around the grounds or the evening programme. Just pop over to the stall, choose from the menu, and then find yourself a spot in a comfortable armchair.
And there’s certainly plenty to choose from. The Portofino & Tonic brings a touch of Mediterranean atmosphere to Letná – Portofino Dry Gin is complemented by Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic, lemon zest and thyme. It’s fresh, elegant and beautifully aromatic. Those who fancy venturing a little further in terms of flavour can try the Japan & Tonic, which combines Japanese Nikka Coffey Gin with Fever-Tree Indian Tonic, grapefruit zest and rosemary. The gin’s distinctive aromatics, citrus freshness and herbal notes create a combination that is anything but run-of-the-mill.
The Brockmans G&T rides a fruitier wave. Brockmans Gin is complemented by Fever-Tree Raspberry & Rhubarb Tonic, and the glass is garnished with raspberries, blueberries and mint. It’s exactly the sort of drink that’s perfect for a summer festival – juicy, fragrant, refreshing and pleasantly light. And if you fancy trying something truly unusual, give the Brockmans Paloma a go. It’s based on Brockmans Agave Cut, a unique spirit with a distinctive character, which in this case is combined with Fever-Tree Sparkling Pink Grapefruit, grapefruit and rosemary. The result is a refreshing grapefruit mix with a pleasant bitterness and aromatic notes.
The menu also features a fun play on words. “Topless Santa Ana” isn’t just a name that’ll make you smile, but also a brilliant summer combination of Santa Ana, Fever-Tree Elderflower Tonic, dried elderflower and lemon. Floral notes, citrus freshness and a slightly playful character fit perfectly with the festival’s carefree atmosphere.
Refreshment for every mood
The Gin & Tonic Love Spot also caters for those who want to enjoy a premium non-alcoholic drink. The Sober G&T is based on Sober Spirits 0.0%, Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic, cucumber and basil. It’s fresh, herbal and light, making it the perfect alternative for a hot afternoon or an evening get-together. Another interesting choice is the Sober Amaretto, which combines Sober Spirits Amaretto 0.0% with Fever-Tree Sparkling Grapefruit, grapefruit and rosemary. The almond-infused base meets the distinctive citrus freshness and aromatic rosemary.
Behind the whole concept, and the selection of premium spirits and ingredients, is Warehouse#1, a specialist in premium spirits that is bringing these drinks to Letní Letná. If any of the combinations catch your eye so much that you’d like to mix them at home, you’ll find the spirits, tonics and other ingredients used in each drink at Warehouse#1.
It’s precisely this variety that makes the Love Spot a place where everyone can find their own festival favourite. Some will go for a classic with Italian gin, others will prefer Japanese Nikka Coffey Gin, while others will be tempted by raspberries and blueberries or zesty grapefruit. And if you don’t fancy alcohol, you certainly don’t have to miss out. In any case, one thing remains true: a good drink deserves time.
Once you’ve placed your order, all you need to do is sit back, enjoy that first sip and let the atmosphere of Letní Letná wash over you. A circus, music, lights, laughter, a summer evening and a glass full of refreshment in your hand. The Gin & Tonic Love Spot is exactly the kind of place where nothing needs to be complicated – just head over to the big LOVE sign and choose what this year’s festival evening will taste like.
