3/4 #sponsored • Whereas our Suite at @thesavoylondon was serene and calm with its pastel palette and watercolor views of London, my hours in The American Bar and Beaufort Bar downstairs were a riot of bright colors and bold flavors. A [completely welcome and fun] assault on the senses of taste and sight. I wanted to test the experience at these bars because I’d heard tell of their menus being more like Stories than a run down of ingredients. Both live up to the hype, and then some, with actual illustrated books laying out the multitude of options you have from which to order. Both books are works of art not unlike the cocktails they list for consumption. The American Bar focuses on England’s history and regions while Beaufort Bar comprises a more hollywood-ized version of larger cocktail culture. Stories in their book recall the lives of Marilyn Monroe and Fred Astaire. I took this photo in The American Bar as Dominic served up the second of three total cocktails that I tried in a theatrical manner working with the elements of the vessel itself, the smells as well as the taste of the cocktail, to depict the Industrial Age. My first cocktail was an Art Deco masterpiece paying homage to the iconic fountain at the entrance of The Savoy, once fitted to be a serving vessel for a green cocktail during one of the many fabulous parties the property has hosted during its illustrious centuries of existence since it opened as the first true luxury hotel in Britain. The American Bar was chosen as the # 2 best cocktail bar in the world in 2016 by the world’s 50 Best Bars list and I can assure you it deserves that spot and then some. Say hello to Dominic for me if you find yourself there any time soon! #FairmontMoments
