If you can't beet them, then join them - so don't waste another moment and hitch a ride straight to this bustling Fitzrovia cocktail spot.

My Beet-Route is a snifter that's positively sprouting with awfully english tangs and is now on the drinks list at the cosmopolitan Oscar Bar and Restaurant at the Charlotte Street hotel.

It'll take you on a flavoursome journey thanks to a recipe rooted from Broken Clock's garden essences, spiked with triple sec liqueur and a curious beetroot and rhubarb shrub - before being lengthened with luxuriant Rathfinny English Rosé fizz.

A suitably summery drink to sip with a couple of scrummy small plates in a sunny patch on the hotel's terrace.
