“Conveniently arranged by your own personal level of daftness” – Hudson Bar
The water in the 750ml bottle comes from the Canadian Arctic and the description states: “The snow froze and compacted into enormous glacial walls, sheltered from all impurities from the outside world”.
The hotel has been home to the world’s most expensive cocktail and the world’s oldest Old Fashioned.
Posting their new water menu (which we sincerely hope people try to order) on Facebook, The Hudson commented: ‘We’d hate to get left behind on this newest innovation in beverage retailing so here’s our brand new water list!
To help customers maintain the illusion that the dogma choice will bring them happiness, the hotel has employed a couple of “water butlers” who will advise customers on the “unique benefits, tastes and attributes of the different brands”, as though it actually matters.
The most affordable bottles on the menu at £4.95 (€7), are Speyside, a sparkling water from the UK’s highest naturally occurring spring at Scotland’s Glenlivet Estate and Whitehole Springs, a still water from Tufa springs in Somerset.
Other containers of hydrogen and oxygen molecules, arranged with marginally different mineral contents includes water from the Fiji Island Rain Forest, and water from Frosinone in Italy.
Also included on the menu is an unusual water of vegetal origin which costs £15.50 (€22).
On their Facebook, the Hudson posted their own humorous take on the water menu, writing: “We’d hate to get left behind on this newest innovation in beverage retailing so here’s our brand new water list!”
The luxury Merchant Hotel, in Belfast, has even hired specialist water butlers to help diners choose the flawless drop of aqua for their meal.
Bosses at the Merchant Hotel knew their new water menu would not be to everyone’s taste – and one Belfast bar made that perfectly clear.
