The fancy cart at the bar entrance boasted a French Riviera gin made by Oscar winner Brad Pitt.

The actor has teamed with the Perrin family (collaborators on Pitt’s Miraval brand) and gin guru Tom Nichol (a former master distiller at Tanqueray) to launch The Gardener, a London dry gin that debuted at the hotel in mid-May. “Made from wheat in copper stills, the gin rests upon a canvas of juniper, licorice, angelica and coriander,” according to an official Gardener description, which also calls out its “unconventional blend of both fresh and dry citruses” including “bitter orange from the Cap d’Antibes area.”

Sampling the drink, some called the gin “subtle and classic,” adding that the mix of citrus juice and syrup makes the Secret Garden go down better than Orange Julius.

Gardener co-founder Matthieu Perrin suggests enjoying the gin with fresh mint, or in a gin and tonic garnished with rosemary and a slice of orange.
