The Hottest Cocktail Bars in London
"The work of acclaimed bartender Salvatore Calabrese, Velvet brings pure 1920s luxury to the Corinthia. The main draw is the martini section, owing to Calabrese’s background at Dukes, where he is credited with its frozen method that endures as a hallmark of the bar. He’s brought it here, as well as some riffy cocktails with a remarkable range — like a Gen Z Tiky Tok sitting next to a Black Velvet, the latter a tribute to the Queen Elizabeth II." - James Hansen
