VIRGIN ATLANTIC CREATES MEXICAN-INSPIRED AFTERNOON TEA-QUILA EXPERIENCE

Fasten your tastebuds and prepare for take off, Virgin Atlantic is putting a spicy spin on a British tradition with the launch of a new fiesta-fuelled afternoon tea to celebrate its new route to Cancun, inspired by the flavours and destinations of Mexico.

With an eclectic menu, designed by Virgin Hotels London-Shoreditch Chef, Barry Vera, the aptly named ‘Afternoon Tea-quila’ features a watermelon and steak finger sandwich, a grilled strawberry burrito, tequila chilli macarons, an iced early grey margarita and even cheddar and jalapeños butter scones topped with sticky short rib.
