No Need to Chase a Good Time at Harvey Nichols!

Now open to the public but only for a limited time, the Chase and Country Tails Terrace at Harvey Nichols Fifth Floor is a fun al fresco setting for a summer drink.

Created in association with Chase Distillery, the luxury department store's terrace has been given a traditional English touch up for the summer with a look and feel inspired by the Herefordshire countryside where the distillery is based. Citrus wafts of Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet perfume scent the air to create an ideal setting for sipping “country-infused” cocktails in the heart of London's perpetually fashionable neighborhood of Knightsbridge.

The terrace's pop up bar features inventive cocktails made with the distillery's range of spirits. Drinks include the Gooseflower Fizz (Chase vodka combined with Chase Elderflower Liqueur, Harvey Nichols Gooseberry Jam, lemon and honey topped with English sparkling wine) and the very refreshing Marmalade Root Martini (Chase Marmalade Vodka shaken with fresh carrot juice, fresh parsley and lemon, with a dash of honey).

There's good summertime-y food on offer as well with a selection of mini tasting dishes, inspired by the fruity aromas of the spirits. One table pleasing best bet is the “Best of British” sharing platter (Alderton marmalade ham, honey cured Dorset ham, Harvey Nichols mini pork pies, Scotch quail eggs, Cornish Yarg cheese, Lincolnshire Cheddar and English mustard).

Chase is a family run single estate distillery set up in 2004 by William Chase. Using a unique handcrafted copper batch pot, the family makes innovative spirits distilled from produce grown on their farm. After four years of experimenting, Chase Vodka was born in 2008 and has won awards around the world including being voted World’s Best at the San Francisco World Spirit Awards. It is distilled from seasonally grown Maris Piper, Lady Clair and King Edward potatoes and cut down with the farm’s own water.

The Chase And Country Tails Terrace at Fifth Floor Harvey Nichols is open until Sunday July 15th. During this time, Chase Distillery is running several Meet the Maker events and tastings. For dates or to book a table contact Fifth Floor Harvey Nichols at 020 7823 1839 (011 44 20 7823 1839 outside the UK) or email Novella.alessandrini@harveynichols.com.
