The Sofitel London St James has launched a new ‘Taste of the World’ cocktail menu – Luxury Hospitality Magazine

The Sofitel London St James (just off Pall Mall) has launched a new ‘Taste of the World’ cocktail menu at its luxurious St James Bar. The menu features 18 cocktails inspired by traditional food, flavours and ingredients from around the world. Each cocktail has a culinary twist which has been created to evoke the well-known flavours of each destination’s signature dish or ingredient – ideal for an escape in this heatwave!

Some top picks off the menu include:

The Tommy – evoking the taste of tacos from Mexico with pink grapefruit, lime and coriander

The Rum Old Fashioned – inspired by the Caribbean’s coffee and tropical fruit with banana peel rum, coffee aroma and chocolate bitters

The Escapade Matinale – in celebration of Europe’s classic almond croissant and cappuccino combo with amaretto, coffee liquor and almond milk

The Vodka HB – inspired by Spain’s gazpacho with clarified strawberry and tomato gazpacho, tio pepe and olive bitters

The Old Fashioned – reminiscent of the American BBQ with bourbon, popcorn syrup and hickory smoke essence

The Gin Sour – a sensory journey to Greece and its famous tzatziki with Hendrick’s gin, cucumber and dill syrup and lemon juice

Prices start from £20 per cocktail and there are three non alcoholic cocktails. The full menu can be seen here: Sofitel London St James | Cocktail Bar in London | St James Bar (sofitelstjames.com)

St. James bar is located next to Michelin star Wild Honey restaurant in the five star Sofitel London St James hotel. To complement the bar’s drinks menu and cocktail list, Wild Honey’s chef Anthony Demetre has fashioned a bar menu containing premium snacks, light plates and larger dishes that promise to keep hunger pangs at bay.
