Experience a Botanical Dream at AER’s New Gimlet Garden, Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai
Step into the enchanting Gimlet Garden at AER, the cityside oasis at Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai, where lush greenery meets the glittering skyline of Mumbai. This urban retreat offers an intimate, botanical escape with a front-row view of the city’s iconic towers, providing a serene counterpart to the lively Yacht Club side of AER, known for its vibrant, sunlit buzz.
Here, mixology takes center stage under the guidance of Beverage Manager Vineeth Krishnan. Guests are treated to meticulously crafted cocktails featuring fresh botanicals and a curated selection of artisanal spirits from around the world, including the signature AER Gin. Architect Phillip Pond describes the space as having “a cozy urban feeling, like you’re a spectator in this gathering of towers.” Every seat offers a close-up view of the bartenders as they work their magic, turning your drink into a personal story infused with craft and creativity.
The cocktail menu at Gimlet Garden is a celebration of nature, divided into four inspired sections: Aromatic, Culinary, Medicinal, and Cosmetic. Each drink features fresh, vibrant ingredients—think lavender, rosemary, maracuja, and anchan flower—beautifully paired with artisanal spirits. Highlights include the Sesame Serenade, a smooth, nutty delight, and the Babuna Bliss, a fruity-floral masterpiece. Every sip feels like an exploration of nature’s bounty, artfully reimagined in a glass.
Complementing the exquisite drinks is a menu of bold, inventive culinary creations. Small plates such as Grilled Corn Ribs and Baked Brie with Honey Chili Sauce deliver a mix of exotic and comforting flavors, perfect for sharing. Heartier options like the Waffle 65 and Trio of Mediterranean Mezze ensure there’s something to satisfy every craving.
The décor, inspired by nature, features earthy tones of green and brown, with a striking hand-painted botanical mural at the entrance that sets the mood for this craft-focused experience. Imagine a chic greenhouse where plush seating and masterful cocktails come together to create an evening of pure indulgence.
