The Grand Pacific Hotel, Suva, has introduced its very own signature cocktail, the GPH “G and Tea”, as a celebration of the hotel’s rich heritage.
The GPH “G and Tea” is a carefully curated cocktail that showcases the best of Fijian craftsmanship, produce, and the tradition and history of one of Suva’s most historic hotels.
The hotel, which opened its doors in 1914, has welcomed many notable guests throughout its history including Dame Nellie Melba, Charles Kingsford Smith, and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Inspired by the hotel’s long-standing tradition of high teas on the balcony, the GPH “G and Tea” is a multi-layered cocktail that features Earl Grey tea and dried Fijian Batiri orange, which is reminiscent of marmalade.
It is perfectly complemented by Fiji’s own Blue Turtle Gin, which results in a refreshing and unique taste experience.
The creation of this exquisite cocktail was the result of a collaborative effort between the Grand Pacific Hotel team and The Distillery Co Fiji, a local distillery located in Pacific Harbour.
IHG South Pacific area general manager Lachlan Walker said, “The GPH ‘G and Tea’ is a testament to the hotel’s enduring legacy and commitment to providing guests with authentic experiences.
“We are proud to introduce this signature cocktail with Distillery & Co., which pays homage to our rich heritage and captures the essence of Fijian craftsmanship and culture,” he added.
The GPH ‘G and Tea’ is now available to guests at the Grand Pacific Hotel, served with the hotel’s famous roasted chilli lime peanuts.
