This summer, the ultimate summer terrace experience awaits at The River Club, as The River Lee unveils Sundaes & Spritz - a playful new summer terrace theme and collaboration with award-winning Irish gelato makers Scúp Gelato. Bringing a splash of Italian sophistication Leeside, the hotel’s riverside terrace has been adorned with a fresh palette of white and blue florals, with striking delphiniums taking centre stage. Once again transformed for the season ahead, it promises to be a must-visit destination for long summer afternoons, leisurely spritzes, and relaxing city-escape moments.
A family-run Irish producer renowned for crafting some of the country’s finest artisan gelato since 2014, Scúp Gelato and The River Club are united by a shared passion for quality Irish produce and craftsmanship, with Scúp creating its gelato using premium locally sourced dairy from farms close to its headquarters in Co. Wexford. The partnership brings a distinctly Italian influence to the terrace experience, drawing inspiration from the relaxed elegance of aperitivo culture — where spritzes, sweet treats, and long summer gatherings take centre stage.
On the menu, guests can choose from three signature sundae options. The River Club Signature Sundae featuring raspberry jelly, custard, Scúp Irish gelato, fruit coulis, blondie, cream, and nuts, the Terrace Super Split combines Scúp orange ice cream, Aperol granita and prosecco, while the Whoopsie Daisy is dropped vanilla and cherry gelato, chocolate crunch topped off with crushed sable biscuit. These pair perfectly with a choice of four spritz cocktails: The 'Pana' Loma, a take on the classic paloma; The Last Port of Call, combining Boatyard Double Gin, Graham's White Port and a refreshing cucumber note; The Grand Stretch, featuring Ketel One Vodka, passionfruit syrup, prosecco and soda; and The Riviera Spritz, an alcohol-free option with lychee, pomegranate, mint and alcohol-free sparkling wine.
Sundaes & Spritz in partnership with Scúp Gelato at The River Club will run from the end of May throughout the summer season, offering a laid-back riverside destination where guests can unwind, gather, and enjoy a taste of Italian-inspired summer living in the city. On Thursdays throughout the summer, the River Club terrace will offer complimentary Scúp gelato scoops to guests between 6pm and 6.15pm, served from the River Club gelato bike with the purchase of a cocktail.
