Inspired by international travels, The Pine Bar within the Biltmore Mayfair Hotel on Grosvenor Square in London concocted the WANDERLUST menu. This cocktail menu promises to take drinkers on a journey of the flavors of the world through their senses.
On the travel-themed cocktail menu, guests' tastebuds will take flight with options like the California-style Pacific Wheel, Symphony of the Forest, which tells the story of the native pine forests of Washington State, or Exuberance, which captures the essence of the Caribbean. While Opulence is a champagne cocktail with a touch of gold, The Flamboyant offers up a taste of Sin City with tequila, brandy and vermouth.
In all, the colorful collection consists of 16 cocktails, four of which are made with no to low alcohol, which means that there are even options for those participating in Dry January.
