Never to rest on the many achieved accolades and awards of Scarfes Bar, Rosewood London has just launched its new menu “10”, in celebration of its milestone 10-year anniversary. The menu is an homage to all that has made Scarfes Bar what it is today, from characterful cocktails, resident musicians and caricatures to their loyal guests who visit from all over the world.
The new menu has been led by Scarfes Bar’s Area Director of Bars, Martin Siska and Head of Mixology Yann Bouvignies, who alongside their team have most recently been awarded #22 on the Top 50 Cocktail Bars 2023, Top 10 World’s Best Cocktail Menu 2022 and #1 Best International Hotel Bar 2020 at Tales of the Cocktail. Martin Yann and the team have focused the menu on honoring the last 10 years of Scarfes Bar with their famed cocktails from previous menus as well as completely new serves to celebrate the future of the bar.
Kicking off the list of the top ten bestsellers is the Scarfes Bar signature staple Crescent City. In a tribute to New Orleans’ famed jazz music, this twist on a modern sour is aromatic and woody, and served straight from the freezer, a mix of The Macallan 12yo, Discarded Banana Peel rum and pandan. Bright and fresh with rich notes of pandan singing through. From 2019’s menu dedicated to music is Zingy Stardust, a citrus cocktail which pays homage to David Bowie. A delicate twist on a Gimlet, using Bombay Premier Cru, topped with Muscat, Kaffir, Neroli and a zingy orange dust sustainably sourced from the leftover orange zest accrued behind the bar playfully mixed with popping candy.
To complement the returning favourites, these famed mixologists have curated a special selection of ten new releases. Oui Madame! is a fun and bubbly cocktail with a tropical twist, composed of Grey Goose, Peach Wine, Jasmine, and Sri-Lankan Clarified Coconut, served over flower encased ice cubes, to create a decorative, layered cocktail with tropical notes. No.6, a playful take on an Old Fashioned, blended with The Lakes Whisky Makers Reserve No. 6, Chocolate & Hazelnut and Sauternes to create a rich and complex cocktail with nutty undertones.
