How are you Celebrating the Fourth of July?
Smatterings of red, white and blue adoring the city? It looks as though Independence Day is back with a rib eating, pie faced, sailor jerry infused bang, with a range of events set to wash the city in stars and stripes.
Maybe you’ve never celebrated Independence Day before, or maybe you’re at a loss of where to go? Well, without further ado…
MEATliquor
Sailor Jerry and MEATliquor Join Forces
Yum, yum, yum, a bottle full of rum. Sailor Jerry, the lusted over spiced rum, will be getting your sea legs a’wobblin as burger restaurant MEATliquor jump aboard their rum ship and launch a Hawaiian Style Hot Link throughout July. The spicy hot dog is awash with Sailor Jerry-infused pineapple chutney and a range of cocktails using the all-the-rage rum. Milkshake lovers can enjoy a malty milkshake made up of Sailor Jerry, banana and caramel to the Pink Ticket, a fruity blend of Sailor Jerry, lime juice, crème de cassis and ginger syrup.

Balthazar
The American Pie Shop
No-one likes to get pied – one only has to look at Alex’s track record on Love Island to know that. However, the Balthazar Restaurant in Covent Garden is offering a good old pie-ing with a difference, that doesn’t involve a string of girls coming into a villa and taking no interest in you. Introducing the ‘American Pie Shop’, where the iconic boulangerie and insta-worthy pop-up will be offering a range of homemade pies and condiments including classics key lime, banoffee and new yawwk cheesecake. Also, if you’ve ever wanted to throw a pie in the face of a friend, family member or colleague, now is your chance. Diners will be able to pie people by playing the Pie Face game…#YouGotPied. Celebrations will then continue into the evening, with a 4th of July party hosted by Balthazar and DJ Chloe Caillet.
Where: 4-6 Russell Street, Covent Garden, London WC2B 5HZ
