Cocktail Heaven: Gin Bar at Hyde Park

It's no secret that gin is the tipple of choice for many of the Domestic Sluts. And though I personally prefer vodka, I can still see the allure of the Gin Bar in London's Hyde Park.

Launched by the clever eggs behind Serpentine Bar & Kitchen, the 'bar' is basically a 1952 Citroen van overlooking the Serpentine river. Over the summer they will be serving no less than six types of gin, not to mention several gin-based drinks and cocktails - the gin with a dash of elderflower sounds particularly yummy.

They also do a good line in bar snacks, but the real appeal of the Gin Bar is it's simplicity. Sitting by the river with a drink in hand and enjoying the elusive British summer - could there be a more perfect way to spend an afternoon? Just don't forget the sunscreen.
