The most delicious drink you’ve had all year, of course.
At the bottom of the glass are seedless green gapes; juicy when nibbled on, crunchy when you take a full bite of them.
To keep them chilled to the core, stacked on top of the grapes are large, elderflower-infused ice cubes. Aromatic but not overwhelming, the natural sweetener is European springtime in a drink.
To pull everything together, creating a completely original, 100 percent unique quencher is a generous serving of Earl Grey tea. Pour the classic blend over the ice cubes and let it trickle down to the layer of grapes for a quilt of flavors that’s unlike any other – the Earl Grape Iced Tea.

This is the story of Marco Polo’s tribute to World Iced Tea Day. Just like Marco Polo himself, the drink brings together the best from the West – offering grape and elderflower ingredients – and the East, whose tea-drinking traditions that began many centuries ago are as popular as ever today.
Guests may experience the refreshing beverage in all hotel dining experiences and through in-room dining.
