The Cocktail Bar: Perfectly mixed drinks from London's iconic hotel bars
This beautiful book presents London's most celebrated hotel bars and their spectacular cocktails, both modern and classic, from the iconic American Bar at the Savoy to the award-winning Connaught Bar.

"For over 100 years, London has been at the apex of drinking culture. At the turn of the 19th century, the city was a hotbed for cocktail creativity; some of the first iterations of much-loved cocktails such as the White Lady and the Hanky Panky were crafted by the city’s bartenders. Establishments like the American Bar at the world-famous Savoy Hotel pushed the boundaries when it first opened in 1893. In recent years, newer hotel bars have expanded upon that distinction, chief among them in 2008, the top top-ranked hotel bar among the 2024 Global Tastemakers, the Connaught Bar." Sean Flynn, "Why London's Hotel Bars Are the Best there are right now", Food & Wine, April 2024

From The Connaught Bar, Berkeley Blue Bar, Beaufort and American Bars at the Savoy, only London's most established and iconic bars are included. In each case the ravishing interiors provide the backdrop to a masterclass in cocktail making by some of the world's leading bartenders.

Recreate beloved classic cocktails at home, such as the perfect Martini or Negroni, or simply enjoy a peek at glimmering cocktail shakers the hands of world-class professionals as they work, slick mixing, shaking, pouring and garnishing and each drink is created and served.
