Savoy’s American Bar announces London-inspired cocktail menu Savoy’s American Bar announces London-inspired cocktail menu 6th January, 2016 by Annie Hayes The Savoy hotel’s famous American Bar in London is set to launch The London Menu, a new cocktail list that takes guests “on a journey” through London’s heritage. An illustration representing one of the new menu’s signature serves, Pickering Place Available from Monday January 18, the new menu will feature 24 drinks inspired by the six boroughs that surround The Savoy, referencing both iconic landmarks and lesser-known corners using a combination of theatre and storytelling. Designed as an interactive guide through the ages, the menu touches on both historic events and modern references and is intended to solidify the American Bar and The Savoy as an integral part of the capital’s landscape. Led by American Bar manager Declan McGurk, the new menu was crafted over many months by head bartender Erik Lorincz and his team. One of the signature serves will be Pickering Place, a sharing experience inspired by its namesake which was the last known London site for a duel. The cocktails are accompanied by a short silent film to reflect this.

The London Menu also features the American Bar’s longest surviving cocktail, Green Park, and a cocktail dedicated to the Abbey Road studio, made famous in the 1960s. There will also be a 1980s-inspired cocktail, Punk Rock, and a drink based around the Olympic Park of 2012. Joe Wilson – the artist behind the pop-up menu at The Savoy’s Beaufort Bar – has created a series of hand-drawn illustrations to express the story behind each cocktail, of which there are four from each of the six boroughs. McGurk says of the new menu: “Essentially when coming up with the concept, we wanted to do a menu that very much celebrated London as a city. In doing so we felt it would fit perfectly with the American Bar’s tradition of storytelling through cocktails.” Related Posts The Best Hotel Bars in London - Thrillist Thrillist Log in or Sign Up to start saving places View your Get Thrillist in Your Inbox Discover the very best food, drink and fun in your city.

The American Bar at the Savoy The Strand Back when the US did that silly Prohibition thing, most of the top bartenders at the time ditched speakeasies and police raids for the fairer (and, you know, legal) shores of Europe.

Correspondent London, England, UK The Savoy has three distinct restaurants.

The River Restaurant has been famous for employing creative chefs since 1890, when Auguste Escoffier brought French cuisine to the English capital (and invented the Peach Melba in the process). However, it is the less-formal Savoy Grill that now has the big-name head chef: Gordon Ramsay. Meanwhile, the hotel’s third restaurant, Simpson's-in-the-Strand, has been serving the very best of British cooking for more than 170 years.

American Bar at the Savoy Hotel View Website The Savoy, The Strand, London, UK STEEPED IN HISTORY, BUT NOT WEIGHED DOWN, The American Bar is as relevant now as it has been throughout its 126-year history. It makes The World’s 50 Best Bars list for the fifth time straight. That’s every year following its reopening in 2010 – only once has it been outside of the top 10. Such a record means the Savoy Hotel’s cream ocean of splendour enters our all-time achievers’ list for the first time, which, it must be said, says more about how long we’ve been running The World’s 50 Best Bars than the American Bar’s all-time achievements. There are many. Indeed the American bar’s memoires are the drinks industry’s fondest. For 126 years it has been home to the fun-seeking famous and the pioneer bartenders of the cocktail industry. Under the bar’s current steward, Erik Lorincz, the American Bar has resisted the complacency that can come with a rich history. This could so easily been a cocktail museum of faded glories.

The Savoy cocktail book of 100 legendary recipes is never far away, but you won’t find the famous American Bar drinks White Lady or Hanky Panky on the menu. Indeed, with each year the bar’s drinks move further from yesteryear classics. But the young, energetic bar team are only too happy to dig out the old bible and read out a verse. For its bartenders it’s about finding the balance between remembering what you are and why your customers visit, yet staying at the cutting edge of cocktail culture. The menu that won Academy admirers was a modern interpretation of the bar’s history – with creations to link to five 25-year eras. Yes, the American Bar has been open so long it spans eras. There are bitter-sweet drinks to represent 1889-1913, aperitifs connected to historical events from 1914-1939, during Ada Coleman and Harry Craddock’s reigns, while drinks found in the 1940-1964 section are inspired by the likes of the Queen’s coronation and Elvis Presley.

Peter Dorelli’s tenure is celebrated in the 1965-1988 period and 1989-2014 brings the menu to the present day. The World’s 50 Best Bars has been given a sneak preview of the new menu to launch this winter – a liquid tour of six of the capital’s boroughs through some of their lesser-known sights. Expect visual flair, not least the illustration of Lorincz and bar manager Declan McGurk cast as the protagonists in London’s last ever gun duel.

While the rest of the hotel now sparkles with the polish of a Las Vegas casino, to the relief of bar aficionados the American Bar was merely given a lick of paint and a new carpet and looks practically unchanged from its last makeover. It claims to be the oldest surviving cocktail bar in England, having opened in 1893 in the original riverside part of the hotel, moving to this location in 1904. The black and white photos on the walls and in glass cases attest to the American Bar's place in history - not only was this Frank Sinatra's home from home when he was in the country, this was the home of world-renowned bartenders, from Ada Coleman and Harry Craddock , author of The Savoy Cocktail Book, published in 1930, to Joe Gilmore , Peter Dorelli and Erik Lorincz. On Monday 18th January 2016, the American Bar launched its latest menu. Called The London Menu, this takes guests on a journey around six of the London boroughs that surround The Savoy.

From Westminster and the City, to Hackney, Tower Hamlets and from Islington to Camden, each of the six boroughs are represented by four cocktails inspired by famous buildings, parks and gardens to lesser known features of London. The menu includes head bartender, Erik Lorincz's take on the American Bar's longest surviving cocktail - the ' Green Park ,' alongside creations such as the 'Abbey Road', inspired by the famous recording studio, and London's Olympic Park. Named after the last known London site for a duel, the 'Pickering Place' is a cocktail designed to be shared by two. Amusingly, the team at the Savoy have turned the story of Pickering Place into a short silent film , which visitors to the American Bar will be able to view when ordering the cocktails.

History of the American Bar 1889 – 1913 Bittersweet Cocktails utilising forgotten flavours On 6th August 1889 the Savoy opened its doors very much as a side business to The Savoy Theatre. Very quickly however, The Savoy sprang from the shadow of its theatre and set global hospitality standards the world now takes for granted.

The tallest structure in Paris and an icon of global culture and architecture was so named after its designer Gustave Eiffel.

This era for the evolving Savoy was certainly a character defining period as global travel increased and London became once more the playground for the rich and famous after the hardship of World War II. This section pays tribute to a cultural change that occurred in London during this period, which was driven by some great characters, who became synonymous for this era. Queen’s Coronation 17.00 2nd June 1953 saw Elizabeth II crowned queen at the tender age of 25, over a year after the death of her father King George VI. The tradition of such a festival being executed was delayed as it was deemed inappropriate for a coronation to take place during a mourning period that followed the death of the preceding sovereign.

However, it took nothing off one of the most iconic events of the 20th century, and to commemorate this we present to you an elegant and rich gin libation with true British identity. Bombay Sapphire Gin, Dubonnet, Suze, Earl Grey syrup and Peychauds bitters. The Other Cocktail 40.00 Named after the venerable and exclusive ‘The Other Club’ that was formed by then Liberal Home Secretary Winston Churchill and Conservative MP The Right Honorable Fredrick Edwin Smith. Originating in 1911 and succeeding ‘The Club’ from the 18th century, this luxurious concoction reflects the richness of the famous British political dining society that would dine fortnightly in the Pinafore room of our beloved Savoy every two weeks when parliament was in session.

All of these methods affect the final taste of the whiskey. In general, tasting notes include spice, vanilla sweetness and toasted oak. BOURBON Bourbon whiskeys are made from a mash bill of at least 51% corn and usually mixed with small percentage of barley and then either wheat (sweeter) or rye (spicier), before being Single Malt Scotch Whisky rested in new, charred American oak barrels.

The Roaring 50’s 19.00 From the end of the 1940’s, a new UK was beginning to emerge, due mainly to the introduction of the import-export business and the opening of 20th century trade routes throughout Europe and the rest of the world. Not only was this great for London, but it helped shape the capital city we know and love today and ushered in a prosperous period known as the ‘Roaring 50s’. Cocchi Sweet Vermouth, Herradura Tequila, Cynar, Grenadine, Absinthe The King of the Whole World 60.00 Taken from the song of the same name by the legendary King of rock’n’roll Elvis Presley. This drink does justice to the legend whose songs are often performed by our live pianist.

Johnnie Walker Blue Label, Ratafia, Oloroso sherry, ‘rock essence’ Set’em up Joe 17.00 Created as a dedication to Frank Sinatra and also our eldest living head bartender Joe Gilmore. Frank Sinatra was a frequent guest of the American Bar, usually sipping Martinis and was only ever served by Joe.

This period saw the emergence of former Head Bartender Peter Dorelli, who is now a global bar icon and enjoying his 51st year of working in the hospitality industry. Peter retired from his position at The Savoy in 2003 and now concentrates his energy on passing on many stories and experiences gained from his time at The Savoy Green Park 17.00 One of the Royal Parks of London, and one that forms an almost unbroken stretch between some of the more famous parts of the capital. This was once a haunt of highwaymen and thieves in the 18th century when its boundary fell outside of London. To celebrate the establishment of Greater London in the 1960s, one of the most important transitions within the capital’s history, this fresh gin cocktail is a here to remind us of the greener and lighter days that can be had in the capital, not unlike the drink itself. This drink is the creation of our Head Bartender Erik Lorincz Bombay Sapphire, fresh lemon juice, sugar syrup, fresh basil, egg white and celery bitters.

Maid in Cuba 15.00 Cuba’s rise to dominance as a culturally defining country not only stems from the limelight they received throughout the 1960s, but also as a world famous destination for some of the most well-known cocktails to ever grace cocktail culture. The Maid in Cuba is the creation of our bartender Tom Walker. Tom took inspiration from a new drink category ‘The Maid’ originating in NYC which has similarities to both the Daiquiri and Mojito. In 2014, this drink was awarded the title of Global Bacardi Legacy Cocktail Competition Winner and is most definitely a contemporary classic in the making. WORLD OF RUM One of the most complex spirits around, with a versatile flavour that links back to its origin of raw material, country and production process. Made from either molasses or sugar cane juice, as well as yeast and water. Each ingredient plays an important role during the production process. White Also known as “Blanco” is the most popular type of rum. White rums in general are unaged, though some are rested for several years, before being filtered to help remove their colour.

Blanco This is the Blue agave spirit in purest form, where the true flavours and the intensity of the agave are present. Blanco Tequilas are aged for up to two months to provide a smoother character.

Tapatio 9.80 Don Julio 11.50 Gran Patron Platinum 53.50 Reposado Reposado Tequila is generally a little smoother than blanco tequila, and is rested in wood barrels for minimum of two months, but less than a year. After ageing, the spirit generally has a good balance between fresh agave and wood. Herradura 9.80 Ocho 9.80 Don Julio 12.50 Anejo The Anejo Tequila is aged for at least one but no longer than three years in wooden barrels, with the most common being American or French oak. These Tequilas are more complex and rich in flavour. Tapatio 11.00 Extra Anejo The minimum period of ageing is three years in wooden barrels. These Extra Anejo’s are extremely smooth with a very complex flavour. Jose Cuervo de la Familia 20.00 Don Julio 1942 39.00 Tapatio Excellencia 41.00 Mezcal & Sotol Similar to Tequila in that it must be distilled from the Agave plant.

However, the type of agave, the state of where it is distilled and distillation methods are all different, and contribute to both the final product and the classification of the spirit in question.

Named after the successful moon exploration in 1969, the drink was the first thing to pass the lips of the Apollo 11 crew once they had landed safely and exited the shuttle. Neil Armstrong sent a personal letter to Joe thanking him for the gesture.

Grand Marnier, champagne, orange flower water, grapefruit bitters and a sugar cube. The Rolling Stone 17.00 Even though The Savoy has been known to entertain royalty, admiralty and politicians throughout its history, it has also played host to both music and film stars too, including the one and only Mick Jagger. In honor of the legendary rock star’s stay in the hotel, we’ve created this fruity and fresh bitter-sweet styled drink that is anything but a rolling stone. Grey Goose Vodka, Campari, lemon juice, fresh raspberries, pineapple & passionfruit syrup, egg white and soda. Dorelli Jubilee 17.00 Created to commemorate the legendary head bartender that served behind the American Bar for 25 years before passing his position onto Salim Khouri. This drink was created to celebrate Peter Dorelli’s 50 years of service in the hospitality industry. Using the king of brandies as a backbone to the drink, this drink is paired with the limited edition Martini Gran Lusso to create something magical and warming, just as its namesake, and is garnished with a gold leaf.
