Rossos answer to the classic Happy Hour is a menu of bespoke £5 cocktails, each only £5 created by the famous bar and restaurants award-winning bar team. For summer, they're taking inspiration from traditional Italian flavours, with the big idea of capturing the spirit of laid back Italian luxury: sunsets over Portofino, slow days amidst the hills of Tuscany and glamorous Riviera parties.
