A magical alpine garden - complete with cable car gondola, twinkling lights and a bespoke cocktail menu - has sprung up in the heart of the City of London. 

Tucked inside a covered courtyard, hidden just a few steps from London's Liverpool Street Station, the pop-up winter escape is a collaboration between Drake & Morgan's Devonshire Terrace and the botanical spirit MOOSE, proudly made in the Austrian Alps. The perfect spot for after-work drinks, the garden looks particularly enchanting at night, strings of bulbs sparkling in the semi-darkness and the fresh scent of pine in the air. 

A truly immersive experience, visitors are greeted by a ski gondola - brought over from the French alpine resort of Morzine and lovingly restored in the UK. Step inside and you'll feel instantly transported to the slopes - it's also a perfect photo opportunity. Guests then make their way through an evergreen archway studded with fairy lights - under a neon sign reading 'Welcome to the mountains' - and are seated at outdoor tables set among winter foliage and potted pine trees. The terrace's heaters ensure everyone stays cosy, while faux-sheepskin rugs (made from recycled plastic bottles) add to the warm atmosphere - as well as the luxurious après-ski look. Each table is set with reusable MOOSE coasters and a cocktail menu. The garden will remain at Devonshire Terrace (Devonshire Square, London EC2M 4WY) until the end of February. 

MOOSE have created a one-off drinks list for the event, showcasing the botanical spirit's unique ability to make cocktails taste better. From a winter mojito to a raspberry and vanilla martini, there are plenty of choices for vegans - plus two chocolate-based options, including a zesty orange take on the espresso martini.

A good choice for conscious drinkers, every cocktail bought at the alpine garden will help combat deforestation, as MOOSE plant ten trees for each bottle sold - doing their bit to stop climate change and #savethesnow. MOOSE is also a healthier option - made using mountain botanicals and maple syrup, it's completely free from processed sugars.    

Harry Meakin, founder of MOOSE, says: 'I have always had an extreme love of the mountains, and MOOSE the botanical spirit was born out of that enduring appreciation. Created in the Alps, we blend natural, mountain ingredients with maple, crafting a pure spirit that makes cocktails taste better. This is a special time of the year, the slopes are calling, so to whet your appetites – we are bringing the spirit of the mountains to the City. Together with Drake & Morgan we created the Alpine Garden: a place to chill and immerse yourself into the magic of the mountains with a MOOSE cocktail.'

Graham Hall, Director of Operations, Drake & Morgan, adds: 'We're thrilled about our collaboration this season between MOOSE and our lovely Drake & Morgan mixologists - bringing not only spectacular winter cocktails to our customers but also a full Alpine Garden escape to relax in the City.'
