Welsh gin brand Cygnet launched the Cygnet Trophy Lounge at Sartoria Savile Row in London as part of a three-year partnership with the Lawn Tennis Association and the HSBC Championships at Queen’s Club. Open through 12 July, the pop-up serves as the centerpiece of the brand’s Summer of Tennis campaign, combining live match screenings with curated displays of LTA memorabilia and a schedule of themed hospitality events.
The programme includes industry gatherings, tournament watch parties and a Women in Tennis celebration hosted by Cygnet co-founder Katherine Jenkins. Guests can enjoy the signature Cygnet Smash Fizz cocktail, created by brand ambassador Gabriele Sasnauskaite, alongside a non-alcoholic version made with Cygnet Infinity. The campaign also extends to selected hospitality venues across the UK through exclusive seasonal serves.
For consumers, the activation transforms tennis viewing into a premium hospitality experience, highlighting the growing role of experiential marketing in the premium spirits sector.
