COCKTAIL CRUISING
d e a s d
Cunard passengers will be toasting exploration on the high seas on Queen Mary 2’s current 41,000mile world cruise. The line’s flagship set sail from Southampton earlier this month carrying a limited-edition cocktail. A collaboration between Cunard, the Savoy hotel in London and Jack Daniel’s whiskey distillery in Tennessee, the Age of Discovery drink will mature on board in a 300-litre Jack Daniel’s barrel. QM2’s four-month itinerary calls at 39 ports in 27 countries and the barrel will be opened after the voyage, although a non-aged version of the cocktail will be sold on board. Created by mixologists at The Savoy’s Beaufort Bar, the drink aims to represent places QM2 will visit. The recipe consists of JD Single Barrel, Bacardi 8, Spice Trail Madeira, Dubonnet, Martini Riserva Rubino, and Earl Grey and Cocoa nib bitters. A Savoy spokesman said: “JD and Bacardi represent the discovery of the Americas, while Dubonnet is a symbol of Cunard’s royal association.” cunard.co.uk

Bar news | Savoy cocktail sets sail on barrelageing world voyage
The Jack Daniel’s órst óll American oak barrel was carefully chosen by The Savoy’s assistant food and beverage director, Daniel Baernreuther. He travelled to the Jack Daniel distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee and personally chose the barrel of Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel to be used in Age of Discovery. Nidal Ramini, head of advocacy for Jack Daniel’s, added: “We have a great partnership with The Savoy and they’ve been hand-selecting their own Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel for óve years. It’s great to take this partnership to another level and be involved with Age of Discovery. “As the only whiskey maker in the world to craft every one of our own barrels, the idea of a barrel-aged cocktail, containing the very whiskey that Daniel chose when we went to Tennessee together, travelling the world, was music to our ears. We can’t wait to see and taste the outcome, and see how the special Jack Daniel’s cocktail reacts to the elements.” LATEST EDITION Angus Struthers, Cunard director, said: “Cunard and The Savoy are world-renowned brands famed for their luxury and levels of service as well as the experience each is able to oúers its guests. We are delighted to be able to create Age of Discovery during Queen Mary 2’s 2016 world voyage and to be able to oúer our guests on the voyage the opportunity to try the non-aged version of this very special cocktail on board our ôagship. “By combining the special edition cocktail’s ageing process with Queen Mary 2’s world voyage, we will ensure Age of Discovery is a genuinely unique creation.” Ports of call for The Age of Discovery will be Madeira, Gran Canaria, St Helena, Walvis Bay, Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, Reunion, Mauritius, Fremantle, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Sydney, Newcastle, Brisbane, Yorkeys Knob, Rabaul, Cebu, Manila, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Busan, Jeju-Do, Nagasaki, Kagoshima, Yokohama, Osaka, Hiroshima, Okinawa (Naha), Keelung, Hong Kong, Nha Trang, Singapore, Penang, Phuket, Chennai, Cochin, Dubai, Muscat, Salalah, Aqaba, Suez, Suez Canal, Port Said, Dardanelles, Istanbul, Dardanelles, Athens, Valletta, Valencia and Southampton.

combine to produce this truly unique barrelaged cocktail. The progress of Age of Discovery will be charted via social media throughout the passage; across the oceans and appearing in the world’s most iconic ports and cities. The barrel will also have its own unique Log Book. When Queen Mary 2 returns to Southampton on 10 May 2016, the barrel will be ceremoniously unloaded and will travel to the specially commissioned Houston Bottling & Co Pack plant in West Dunbartonshire. It is estimated that the unique barrel will yield a minimum of 250 litres of Age of Discovery, which will become the latest in The Savoy Collection; one of the world's most prestigious and unique collections of oneofakind spirits and liquids. Launched in 2013, The Savoy Collection was created with the support of esteemed drinks experts, Speciality Drinks, to celebrate the rare and the beautiful from the world of drinks. Created by the team at The Savoy’s Beaufort Bar, the Age Of Discovery cocktail has been designed to represent the diverse areas through which it will travel on board the Queen Mary 2 and takes its inspiration from the thrilling era of naval exploration between the 15th and 18th centuries. The unaged cocktail is available at the Beaufort Bar now.

Belfast barman who served cocktails to the stars dies aged 93 By Laura McDaid BBC News NI 25 January 2016 Northern Ireland
From the book 'Joe Gilmore and his Cocktails'
When Frank Sinatra croons: "Set 'em up Joe" in One for My Baby, the words set a few hearts aflutter in Belfast. For the Joe called upon to get the drinks, was Joe Gilmore from the north of city who made his name at London's Savoy Hotel. He poured drinks for Charlie Chaplin who left his wife at the door as he had a sup. Joan Crawford loved whiskey sours, Ernest Hemmingway liked punch, Laurel and Hardy romped through the menu. When Joe was behind the American Bar, times were good and the stars knew their secrets were safe. The former head barman at the Savoy died on 18 December aged 93 years. Joe was one of a family of 10 and grew up on the Limestone Road in north Belfast. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uknorthernireland35399125

The American Bar at The Savoy London
The glamorous American Bar at The Savoy, forever synonymous with style and elegance, last week launched The London Menu – a new medley of cocktails, demonstrating once more their flair for originality. The selection combines theatre and storytelling as they take you on a journey of around six of the hotel’s surrounding London Boroughs. The fascinating places in London aren’t only the universally recognisable landmarks but also the secret haunts only the locals know of – each cocktail on the menu has its own story to tell. Head bartender Erik Lorincz and Declan McGurk have collaboratively and creatively embarked on this unique menu that brings the city to life through tastes, textures flavours and stories.

Guiding the fortunate devil that should find himself in the midst of this menu, through historic events in London and also catapulting the glamour of the jazz age into the present day, there’s something for even the fussiest of sippers. One may take their pick from the “Green Park” or perhaps a glass of Abbey Road, [a nod to the studio where you have all seen The Beatles walking across the zebra crossing, you know the one!] would be more tempting? A Punk Rock 80s concoction is also there for the taking. Whatever has brought you to London, or the special place it holds in your heart, there is sure to be something that tickles your fancy. Incorporating London’s famous buildings, gardens and hidden treasures, the cocktails from each borough are inspired by London’s broad cultural landscape. From Westminster to the city, to Hackney, tower hamlets and from Islington to Camden, results in a plethora of representation of the city’s 2000 year literary, musical, social and economic history. The savoy itself, a London landmark entwined in the stories each cocktail tells. A bespoke sharing cocktail named picketing place features 2 drinks and draws inspiration from London’s last known site for a duel. The creative team behind this fantastic new menu have created a short silent film about Pickering place which visitors to the American bar will be able to view when enjoying their cocktails. Joe Wilson, also known for the beauforts bars spectacular pop up menu, presents the cocktails visually as wonderful hand drawn illustrations. With four from each of the six boroughs, the 24 cocktails are expressed beautifully, in delicate detail. Merging traditional and contemporary styles and techniques and using ink pencil and digital colour Joe has created a menu that is art in its own right. McGurk says of the new menu: “essentially when coming up with the concept, we wanted to do a menu that very much celebrated London as a city. In doing so we felt it would fit perfectly with the Americans bars tradition of story telling through cocktails.”

Cocktails inspired by Tower Hamlets on new menu at The Savoy 01:00, 3 JAN 2016

The American Bar at the swish hotel is set to launch four creations themed on the east London area including the Daily Tot which combines three types of Royal Navyinspired rum

American Bar, The Savoy
Just how do you tell the tale of the Tower Hamlets borough? With three shots of different rum, a splash of rosemary infused honey and an all-spice liquor, shaken up with citrus fruits. That’s how. Manager at The Savoy’s American Bar Declan McGurk and head bartender Erik Lorincz have collaborated to put east London under the spirit spotlight to create cocktail Daily Tot. His latest tipple is part of The London Menu, whipped up to represent the history and heritage of the six boroughs which surround the swish central London venue.
Publication Date: January Circulation: 30,000
Each has four drinks to represent cultural, social, musical and literary history in a smooth, drinkable form. He chose a blend of Bacardi Superior and Smith and Cross - an authentic Royal Navy style rum - to reflect the Isle of Dog’s key role in managing the run and sugar industries during the 19th Century. The measurements also tap into the history of Navy rations of grog in the East End, measurements introduced into the Navy by British Vice Admiral Edward Vernon in 1740. Declan said: “When coming up with the concept, we wanted to do a menu that very much celebrated London as a city. “In doing so we felt it would fit perfectly with the American Bar’s tradition of storytelling through cocktails.” Other featured areas of the capital translated into cocktail creations include Westminster, Hackney, Isington and Camden. The London Menu will launch on Monday, 18 January, 2016.

house vibe emanates - a country house, however, with a tremendous sense of wit and panache. The style of the interiors is difficult to characterise, by turns demure and decadent, muted and glossy, traditional and contemporary. The overall effect is dazzling. The perpetually jammed Scarfe's Bar and the elegantly elongated Mirror Room are at either end of an exquisitely lit bronze corridor that insulates the lobby from the outside world. The Holborn Dining Room, run by ex-Ivy head chef Des McDonald, adds a lively

The Savoy Though people tend to think of it as monolithic and unchanging, The Savoy has something of a split personality and has in fact changed a great deal over the years. It's decorated in Edwardian style on the Thames side - from which Monet and Whistler painted the river - but it's quintessentially Art Deco on the Strand side. Rooms are large and traditional but never frumpy; and in a world of shrinking bathtubs, The Savoy's remain satisfyingly deep. The Savoy Grill and Kaspar's seafood restaurant (named after the resident cat, which, being made of wood, is entirely hypoallergenic and seldom makes any trouble) are excellent; and the hotel is blessed with two of the finest watering holes in London, The American Bar,
The Ritz
granddaddy of London's cocktail bars, and its younger, sassier sibling, The Beaufort Bar. So don't even try to make it an 'either/or' proposition - it must be an 'and'. Address: The Savoy, Strand, London WC2 Telephone: +44 20 7836 4343 Website: www.fairmont.com
The Shangri-La at the Shard Never has a traffic jam on the Old Kent Road looked so enchanting - everything seen fromThe Shangri-La looks enchanting. The hotel occupies floors 34 to the 52 of Renzo Piano's 87-storey London landmark. The rooms (contemporary, creamy, Asian-influenced), restaurants (especially the romantic Ting) and bar (gin and rosemary - divine) are all fantastic, though nothing can compete with the extraordinary views over London, which turn every guest into a slack-jawed infant, lost in wonder, gazing out, palms to the window, all day long. At night, sitting cross-legged on the bed with the blackout blinds open is like being on a magic carpet, floating high above the ceaseless glow of the great city.

Theatre review: Guys And Dolls at the Savoy Guys And Dolls at the Savoy
WHEN Lieutenant Brannigan encounters a host of hoods, hustlers, gangsters and gamblers sporting red carnations, their “ticket” to an illegal crap game, in Guys And Dolls, he derides them as looking like “the male chorus from Blossom Time”.

'Carlos Acosta and Andrew Wright’s choreography is as splendid as ever'
This is an injoke from librettists Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows, for nothing could be further from Sigmund Romberg’s operetta about the romantic misfortunes of composer Franz Schubert than the “musical fable of Broadway” that they, together with composer and lyricist Frank Loesser, fashioned from the work of Damon Runyan. Runyan was fascinated by the assorted lowlife who haunted the streets around Times Square and, on the page, gave them a stylised vernacular, full of ornate circumlocutions, which the musical team faithfully echoed, most notably in Loesser’s score, a mixture of classical cadences (the first song is the aptly named Fugue For Tinhorns) and Broadway rhythms. The integration of two of Runyon’s stories created a richly varied, if sanitised, vision of Broadway life. The Idyll Of Miss Sarah Brown, about the romance between Salvationist missionary Sarah and compulsive gambler Sky Masterson, was combined with Blood Pressure, featuring the crap game run by smalltime crook Nathan Detroit. This had the addition of an original character, Miss Adelaide, a luckless show girl and Nathan’s fiancée PH of 14 years. Sophie Thompson has coarsened her Chichester performance to the point of parody
Sarah describes New York as “the Devil’s own city” and if it is true that the Devil has all the best tunes then Loesser supplies them in spades: from wistful love songs for Sky and Sarah and zestful nightclub numbers for Adelaide to Sky’s brassy anthem, Luck Be A Lady, and the showstopping Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ the Boat for NicelyNicely Johnson (charmingly played by Gavin Spokes). Best of all is the wistful ballad, More I Cannot Wish You, sung by Sarah’s grandfather and fellow Salvationist Arvide Abernathy as he seeks to convince her to follow her heart, which is here given a rare and welcome sincerity by Neil McCaul. Such a sumptuous show has enjoyed many revivals, the most celebrated being Richard Eyre’s 1982 staging at the National. Gordon Greenberg’s current production originated 18 months ago in Chichester where I, along with my colleagues, afforded it a warm welcome. It is sad to report that, despite the predictable whooping of the first night audience, much has been lost on its transfer to the Savoy.

New Year's Eve at The Beaufort Bar Searching for The Savoy Orpheans Posted: 12/31/2015 10:25 am EST
Updated: 12/31/2015 10:59 am EST
I want to spend New Year's Eve at the Savoy Hotel in London dancing to the Savoy Orpheans. But they're long gone. The Orpheans were the resident dance band at the Savoy from 1923 to 1927, and on and off thereafter throughout the 1930s. Unlike most British bands that played jazz early on, the Orpheans got it. The band swung (within the Jazz Age's bouncy sense of swing), and managed to sound rich and raucous at once; a very neat trick. They also had that burnished British dance band bottom that resonates across the ages on otherwise tinny 78 records; a dual "brass bass" (tuba) led rhythm section that vroomed like a 1927 Rolls Royce engine. The closest you can get to the Savoy Orpheans at the Savoy today is the room they played in, which is swell, to say the least, though it's a room that registers the Orpheans' echo but faintly. I'm speaking about The Beaufort Bar at the Savoy, which, as I understand it, was known as the Winter Garden when the Orpheans were in residence. The band's footprint is still present in this lavishly realigned lair; the bandstand that the Orpheans occupied (in fact, rose up on, hydrolically, from the basement below) has been repurposed for the Beaufort as the site of the bar itself, which is appropriate, since the bar is now the star of the show. I spent a late evening there not long ago. The place is a deco riot of fluted columns and arched niches all dressed in black and edged in gilt. It is shamelessly lovely. The Savoy Orpheans were the first band to broadcast regularly on BBC radio, beginning in 1923. The BBC's first studios were just next door to the Savoy at Number 2 Savoy Hill. In 1925, George Gershwin played the British premiere of his "Rhapsody in Blue" at The Savoy, with the BBC broadcasting live. I am quite certain that Fred Astaire and his sister Adelle performed in the Winter Garden around this time. Winston Churchill's history with the Savoy Hotel is long and languorous but is centered on the Savoy Grill just down the corridor. I'll bet his son, though, Randolph Churchill, one of betweenthewars London's leading ladies men, foxtrotted his way around the Winter Garden in step with the Savoy Orpheans on occasion.

Today, drinks at The Beaufort Bar are as theatrical as the history of the space itself. The specialties of the house are laid out in a spectacularly produced, limited edition, popup book (1000 copies, designed by British "paper engineer" Helen Friel and the illustrator Joe Wilson). Inspired, I was told, by a popup map of London uncovered in a 1938 promotional brochure preserved in the Savoy's archive, the drink book is a knockout, as are the libations within, a series of "Character Cocktails," each inspired by a different highoctane celebrity who once stayed at the Savoy; from Marlene Dietrich ("The Blue Angel:" gin, Cointreau, Dom Perignon, sorbet, and "gold dust," to Hemingway, Matisse, Chanel and, my drink of choice for the evening, "The Old Blue Eyes" of Frank Sinatra. "The drinks are laid out going light to dark," the Beaufort Bar's manager, Anna Sebastian, informed me. "You start out with very fresh, light style drinks and, as you move through, they get more complex, very interesting combinations of flavors, ending up with some very luxurious style drinks." "Old Blue Eyes" starts out with Jack Daniels, of course, Sinatra's drink, then some dry curacao, a splash of the the Italian aperitif Cocchi Americano and the Italian liqueur Benedictine, (harkening back to Sinatra's Italian heritage, according to Anna Sebastian) with a final, leavening dash of orange bitters. "It's a stirred drink," Anna points out, as opposed to shaken. Orange, I know, was Sinatra's favorite color. Sinatra wore a lot of orange, and decorated with orange heavily at his home in Palm Springs. My concoction was mixed for me tableside and included the ceremonial singeing of some orange peel by my server, who was charmingly loquacious about the whole process. "Old Blue Eyes" went down as smoothly as a Sinatra ballad and the orange did light up the bourbon rather eloquently. The price tag: 40 pounds sterling (about 60 bucks) was equally electrifying. "We had Frank Sinatra's son sing here two years ago," Anna Sebastian noted. "It was simply enthralling. Ah, yes, the music. The music at the Beaufort Bar on my evening there was so much less than it could be, if not, should be. A nicelooking baby grand piano was played by a nicelooking young man from South America who vocalized nice approximations of Billy Joel and The Beatles, while occasionally pulling out a guitar from under the keyboard and accompanying himself on some nice Bossa Nova. The result is firstclass background muzak as well done as such music can aspire to be. Once a month, on the first Sunday of every month, a topflight burlesque show is presented. I have yet to catch it, and I'd actually like to. In New York, this New Year's Eve, two of my very favorite Broadway babies, Marin Mazie and Annaleigh Ashford, will perform early and late shows, respectively, at Feinstein's/54 Below. I can so easily imagine them cabareting in The Beaufort Bar of the Savoy, filling that glamorous room with glamorous song. But they're not there, yet. I can also easily imagine The Savoy Orpheans at The Beaufort Bar. But they're not coming back at all. ~ Follow Barry Singer on Twitter: www.twitter.com/singbarry MORE: Savoy Hotel Winston Churchill Randolph Churchill Frank Sinatra Ernest Hemingway Matisse Marlene Dietrich Chanel Marin Mazie Annaleigh Ashford Feinstein's/54 Below

Ryan McDonnell The Savoy actually currently has a fantastic young dance orchestra, Alex Mendham & His Orchestra! They play many Savoy Orphean arrangements, and were performing in the Lancaster Ballroom on New Year's Eve, directly below you! You can go and hear them perform at the Savoy's monthly Dinner Dance in the Thames Foyer, in exactly the same spot as the Savoy Orpheans over 80 years ago. Happy New Year!

Life In Brief JOE GILMORE HEAD BARMAN AT THE SAVOY’S AMERICAN BAR Joe Gilmore mixed drinks for film stars and royalty, prime ministers and presidents during a career as one of the world’s most celebrated barmen. The genial Irishman, who set out for London from Belfast at 16, became a confidant of the rich and famous as head barman at The Savoy’s American Bar. All the film greats, from Chaplin to Grace Kelly, Marlene Dietrich to Lord Olivier, were served. There were Whisky Sours for Joan Crawford, White Ladies for Laurel and Hardy. Vodka was a rarity, but a bottle was set aside for Errol Flynn, to be served with red pepper. Frank Sinatra would stop by for a dry martini before his shows. Gilmore also served De Gaulle, Eisenshower and Clark Gable, sent to entertain the troops during the war. Winston Churchill was another frequent visitor, keeping his own bottle of Black & White whisky behind the bar. When Gilmore created a cocktail in his honour, Churchill gave him one of his cigars. “It didn’t last long,” he said. “I didn’t smoke it. But I kept on showing it to guests, and it turned to sawdust.” He served generations of British royalty and hosted many of their private functions: Princess Margaret flew him to Mustique for parties. Gilmore also followed the Savoy tradition of creating drinks for special occasions; his Moonwalk, made for the first moon landing in 1969, was sent across the Atlantic in a flask on Pan Am and was the first drink Neil Armstrong had back on Earth. One of 10 children born to a tobacconist, Gilmore washed dishes at a Lyons Corner House before getting bar jobs at La Coquille on St Martin’s Lane and The Old Bell at Hurley, where two stylish guests showed him how to make his first cocktail. The gentleman
America during Prohibition. Gilmore’s skill and memory for recipes saw him take over in 1954. His growing celebrity saw him appear regularly on TV. When the breathalyser was introduced, he was asked by NBC if it had affected business. “Not here,” he said. ”All our customers are chauffeur-driven”. Gilmore retired in 1975, but missed his customers and returned a decade later in an ambassadorial role. He loved horse racing – he would ring his sister, Elizabeth, in Belfast and choose their horses – and did the Pools each week with the Duke of Marlborough. He was awful at picking winners: Sir David Davies, author of the 2003 tribute Joe Gilmore and his Cocktails, said friends advised: “You wanted to go long on his drinks, but short on his tips.” His granddaughter, Francesca, summed up a remarkable life. “I’ll never forget walking into Poppa Joe’s living room to see him reading some letters. He handed one to me. It was from Princess Diana. Another was from Neil Armstrong. It was then that I realised how incredible his life was.” Born 19 May 1922 Died 18 December 2015 Aeneas Bonner

surprised it’s taken me this long to find out about Melba. Melba belongs to The Savoy and sits on the corner of the Strand and Savoy Court. It’s the hotel’s all new take away gourmet counter housing a selection of crazily beautiful and detailed treats including sweet and savoury pastries, sandwiches, croissants, macaroons, cupcakes, and drinks. But forget about all them for now. Because it’s all about Melba’s signature éclairs and I am obsessed with them. I didn’t even know I liked éclairs but it turns out I do and I need to go back another 10 times to have tried each of the 12 varieties available.

HINK of the Strand and if you are under 40, images of Somerset House’s Christmas ice rink are likely to spring to mind. For the older generation, the Savoy hotel, and all the glamour associated with this venerable institution, will probably take prominence in the imagination. But what readers of all generations will probably overlook are the monolithic concrete blocks that have also long stood on this particularly iconic road in the very centre of London. Thankfully,
one of the silver linings of the London housing boom is that these monstrosities, many of which were thrown up in some haste to fill in gaps created by the Blitz, are being eradicated to take advantage of soaring property prices. One of the most unsightly that has recently been subject to demolition is a former 1960s office block for an accountancy firm at number 190. Indeed, until very recently if you took a Google Street view tour down the Strand, this eyesore would still be present. In its place a luxury new £500million development is now

taking shape, thanks to Berkeley Group’s St Edward. St Edward bought the site in 2012 and got started early that year on a demolition project on a scale difficult to imagine on a site at the very heart of the capital. In a nutshell, the equivalent of 20 Olympic-sized swimming pools full of rubble was miraculously transported from the hole left once the demolition ball had stopped swinging. About 6,000 wagon loads were required to remove it – a total of 50,000 sqm. In its place will stand six buildings – three will make up phase one, which is to be complete in early 2017, while the second phase is due to be finished later that year. Things are moving at quite some pace – the topping out ceremony took place in February and the facade of the building was complete in April. St Edward has made strenuous efforts to blend the buildings into the more historic architecture on the rest of the Strand, notably the curved effect leading up to the roofing, which bears a strong resemblance to the buildings that form the crescent of Aldwych, just across the road. Prices, as you might expect in such a central location, aren’t cheap. They

start at £1.465million for a one bedroom and reach a whopping £17.25million for a four-bedroom penthouse. There will be a total of 206 apartments, all serviced by a fivestar hotel-style 24-hour concierge, a private cinema, state-of-the-art gym, private swimming pool, vitality pool, spa facilities, virtual golf and a stylish business lounge. The properties range across one, two and three-bedroom luxury apartments, penthouses and townhouses, with public spaces and gardens. Two-thirds of what has been released has already been snapped up, so the prices are obviously not deterring buyers. Quality wise, this is very much on a Savoy level – entrance staff will greet you in top hats, there is a valet parking service and all flats have a car space included in the price. In terms of the apartments themselves, the kitchens have stainless steel Küppersbusch appliances and there are stone worktops and high-gloss cabinets, while the bathrooms boast combinations of porcelain and stone sanitaryware and polished chrome taps. All apartments have underfloor heating and comfort-cooling. This being the Strand, focus also has to be on the fantastic advantages of the location; theatreland, the capital’s best restaurants and museums are all in spitting distance. And they are about to be joined by another major attraction – the Garden

THE COCKTAIL BARMAN LAUREATE
Bartender to royals, politicians, world leaders and celebrities
T
here have been hundreds of readers’ accounts shared on this page about local folk who left their mark on history, here and around the world, including war heroes, scientists, writers and artists, preachers, teachers and explorers. There hasn’t yet been a ‘Cocktail Barman Laureate’ mentioned here, a title bestowed on a Belfast-man who became bartender and cocktail mixer to a veritable Who’s Who of historic tipplers! Joe Gilmore, born in Belfast on May 19, 1922, went to London where he became the barman who “served and made friends with royalty, politicians and celebrities,” Mike McCann recently recounted, adding “he created and named cocktails for Queens and Princesses, Princes and Prime Ministers, and for social and historic events of the day.” Joe, who died aged 93 on December 18, was Mike McCann’s wife’s uncle. He was also a world-famous bartender who served five generations of royals at private receptions and parties. Joe’s awesome catalogue of celebrity friends and customers included Errol Flynn, Laurel and Hardy, Charlie Chaplin, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Grace Kelly, George
Bernard Shaw, Noël Coward, Julie Andrews, Laurence Olivier, Judy Garland, Liza Minnelli and Bing Crosby. Mike McCann has compiled a wonderful account of his wife’s uncle Joe’s remarkable life. Joseph Patrick Gilmore was born in Castleton Gardens, North Belfast on May 19, 1922, one of a family of 10. Aged just 16 Joe went to London as a factory worker packing rolls of wallpaper. His next job was in a restaurant washing dishes and then he began training as a barman at London’s La Coquille and the Olde Bell at Hurley. Early in his career a friendly couple showed Joe how to mix a Dry Martini. The gentleman was to become a lifelong friend Kenneth Davies, Welsh milron; his lady lionaire steel-baron; friend was the fay mous aviator Amy Johnston! Aged 18 Joe e started as trainee barman at the Savoy, earning £3.10s a week as apprentice to its legendary head bartender Harry Craddock. During WWII e Joe was also a fire of warden on the roof of the Savoy, witnessing first-hand d the horrors of the e London blitz.
He met and fell in love with Londoner Marie Zambelli, and in 1944 they married. He became the Savoy’s head bartender in 1954, a position that he held for 21 years. Life at the Savoy was exciting, and the people he met were fascinating. Joe’s friend Sir David Davies, Kenneth’s son, observed “Back in the 1950s the appointment of a Head Barman at the Savoy was an event of national and even international importance.” It was “handy for both the City and Westminster, near to Fleet Street and the West End. It was London’s exclusive meeting place for the rich and powerful.”
Sinatra would always say “Set ‘em up Joe!” and the Ol’ Blue Eyes line from ‘One for my Baby’ was actually said to be about Joe Gilmore
Because of his reputation for professionalism, his quiet Irish charm and absolute discretion, Joe was frequently engaged by famous individuals to serve bars worldwide at their private functions. Princess Margaret often flew him to Mustique for her

parties on the Caribbean island! Prince Phillip was an occasional visitor to the Savoy, as was King Umberto of Italy. Frank Sinatra was a frequent guest at the American Bar, where he insisted on being served by Joe. Sinatra would always say “Set ‘em up Joe!” and the Ol’ Blue Eyes line from ‘One for my Baby’ was actually said to be about Joe Gilmore. He often served Winston Churchill, who’d been dining at the Savoy when he first learned he was to be Prime Minister! Joe kept Churchill’s personal bottle of Black and White whiskey forever ready under the counter. Sir David Davies commented “To listen to Joe reminiscing… was to eavesdrop on a different age.” His space-era cocktails received worldwide attention. Created for the first moon landing in 1969, Joe’s ‘Moonwalk’ cocktail was the first drink which Neil Armstrong and the other astronauts had back on earth. In 1975 his ‘Link-Up’ cocktail, marking the American and Russians’ link-up in space, was sent to the USA and USSR for the astronauts to enjoy when they returned from their mission. When told that the cocktail was waiting for them, the astro-
and orange and other juices and shook them for her. He said that other customers would ask him for it, often requesting a top-up of champagne! Joe loved horse racing and was a regular punter, and until his death in 2014 the Duke of Marlborough did the Lottery every week with Joe….but with little success! Mr. Gilmore never forgot his Irish roots or family background and never lost his soft Belfast accent. He was a devout Catholic and until his final illness he regularly attended church with wife Marie. He had three sons, Joseph, Brian and Anthony, and was the proud grandfather of Bonnie, Dominic, Danika and Francesca. He has one surviving sister Rosaleen living in Dublin. His son Anthony read some moving lines at legendary Joe’s recent funeral service, where one of the wreaths was a large cocktail made of flowers. “Heaven is waiting with endless customers….What a true gentleman he was, with such humility and grace.”

Joe Gilmore Barman at the Savoy who served Churchill and created a cocktail to mark the 1969 moon landing
J
OE GILMORE, who has died aged 93, was a barman and later head barman at the Savoy’s American Bar from 1940 until 1976, during which time he created dozens of new cocktails to mark historical events and in honour of the great, the good – and the not so good – who frequented the bar. The American Bar has been described as being to cocktails “what the Orient Express is to trains, or Savile Row is to tailoring”, and as its longest-serving barman Gilmore was its star. He served fruit cordials to the teetotal George Bernard Shaw, champagne to Marlene Dietrich and dry martinis to Frank Sinatra. The phrase “Set ’em up, Joe” in Sinatra’s song One for my Baby was how the singer always announced his arrival. During the war, Gilmore was in sole charge of Churchill’s private bottle of Black & White whisky. When Britain’s wartime leader arrived at the Savoy with Charles de Gaulle, Gilmore would always serve Churchill the good whisky with a knowing nod and de Gaulle the wartime stuff coloured with teabags. Gilmore had an encyclopaedic memory for customers’ favourites. Joan Crawford liked a whisky sour; Ernest Hemingway ordered Planter’s Punch, while ex-king Umberto of Italy always drank a Manhattan with two Maraschino cherries. Laurel and Hardy would appear at the bar clutching a copy of the Savoy cocktail book: “They would pick out a different cocktail each time. Their ambition was to try every single one.’’ Charlie Chaplin would arrive with his wife and, as women were not allowed in the American bar in its early days, would leave her at the door while he enjoyed a drink. Gilmore created new tipples to mark significant events in national life and in the lives of the Royal family. To celebrate Britain’s entry into the Common Market, he created a cocktail containing ingredients from all the nine member states of the time –
Britain’s contribution being sloe gin – with which he claimed to have converted at least one anti-marketeer. The “Moonwalk” cocktail commemorated Neil Armstrong’s first walk on the moon in 1969. “The cocktail was a mix of grapefruit juice, Grand Marnier, champagne and rose water,” he recalled. “The Savoy sent it off in a flask and I received a letter back from Neil Armstrong thanking us and saying it was the first drink [the astronauts] had when they came out of quarantine.” Gilmore recalled that until the 1960s, vodka was rarely served: “Gin was the drink; mostly gin in the morning and whisky at night… In those days we used to serve one bottle [of vodka] a year at the Savoy and that was to Errol Flynn. He would come in, I would see him and he didn’t have to ask for his drink. I used to have the glass ready for him with vodka and red pepper.” Joe Gilmore was born in Belfast on May 19 1922, one of a Roman Catholic family of 10. His parents owned a tobacconist’s shop. He moved to London with a friend, aged 16, in 1938. After working at a Sanderson’s wallpaper factory he was a dishwasher at Lyons Corner House, Shaftesbury Avenue, then at La Coquille, St Martin’s Lane, where he first encountered the craft of cocktailmaking (as he was still under 18 he was not allowed to make them himself). At the outbreak of war he worked for a few months at the Old Bell Inn at Hurley, Berkshire, where he made his first dry martini. It was not a success. A cocktail book he found under the bar advised mixing half vermouth with half gin, “which elicited a roar of disapproval from the [customer] who obviously felt that his gin should have the most fleeting acquaintance with the vermouth”. In 1940 he moved to the Savoy as a trainee barman on £3 10s a week. The night that he invented one of his first cocktails March 8 1941 was a

traumatic one. He had been transferred from the Savoy to the Perroquet bar in its sister establishment, the old Berkeley Hotel. “It was the night that the Café de Paris was bombed and customers came in, in a shocking state,” he recalled. Eightfour people had been killed and many of the survivors crawled from the rubble and stumbled into the Berkeley. “They said: ‘Joe, give us something with a sting in it will you?’,” he recalled, “so there and then I invented the Berkeley stinger. That was one night I shall never forget.” Later in the war Gilmore returned to the Savoy and in 1955 he became its head barman. Gilmore became a sort of roving ambassador for the hotel, travelling the world to give interviews and talks. When the breathalyser was introduced in Britain he was contacted by NBC who asked whether the new legislation was affecting business. “Not here,” he replied. “All our customers are chauffeur-driven.” For customers of more modest means, however, he created an alcohol-free “Breathalyser Cocktail No 1”, which could be converted into “Taxi, please!” with the addition of a double vodka. It was not often that Gilmore refused a customer’s request. Indeed he often assisted in matters far beyond the usual barman’s remit – arranging to send flowers or presents for friends, even placing bets on customers’ behalf, although it was said to be a brave man who took one of his tips. As a result many became friends. Gilmore retired from the Savoy in 1976 to take a less demanding job as head barman in a City restaurant, but was often sought out by old friends to mix drinks at parties they were giving – even to accompany them on holiday. Princess Margaret often flew him out to Mustique. Later on the Savoy asked him to return in a quasi-ambassadorial role, touring the world, appearing on chat shows and putting in regular appearances behind the American Bar. Joe Gilmore is survived by his wife, Marie, and by their three sons.

The Savoy is as quintessentially British as Charles Dickens, Harry Potter and our beloved Marks & Spencer. The first luxury hotel in Britain, it has paved the way for the highest standard of service since it first opened way back in 1889. Despite this British-ness we speak of, the name of one of their most iconic bars is slightly contradictory. The American Bar, equally as renowned for its innovative cocktails as it is for its live jazz and bartenders in crisp white jackets, is digging its roots a little deeper into British soil with a new menu inspired by the city it calls home.
LATEST REVIEWS
The London Menu is made up of four imaginatively presented cocktails that represent each of the six boroughs that surround the hotel; Westminster, the City, Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Islington and Camden – who’d have thought Hackney would ever come to The Savoy?! Key moments throughout the city’s colourful history have shaped the textures and tastes of the drinks with the recipes being tested for months. Head bartender Erik Lorincz has put a spin on the ‘Green Park’ – The American Bar’s longest surviving cocktail but the new additions include ‘Pickering Place’, ‘Abbey Road’ and ‘Punk Rock’. Work your way around the capital, from the elegance of the bar. The London Menu is available in The American Bar from Monday 18th

Joe Gilmore Softly spoken head barman at the Savoy who mixed legendary cocktails and became the confidante of Hollywood hellraisers Immaculate and discreet, Joe Gilmore was Britain’s best-known barman who ran the exclusive drinking hole for the rich and powerful — the American Bar at the Savoy. It was said that no visit to Britain by a US president or Hollywood star would be complete without sampling one of the softly spoken Ulsterman’s famous cocktails. Frank Sinatra’s entrance was always the same. “Set ‘em Joe” he would shout at Gilmore. On taking receipt of his favourite dry martini, the crooner would retire to the piano to play One For My Baby. From 1940 to 1976, Gilmore was a reassuring presence behind the bar in his double-breasted cream jacket. He garnered a global reputation for his ability to innovate exotic cocktails with a kick. However, perhaps the quality for which he was most valued was his discretion; his only response to some of the more bibulous famous habitues of the bar was to pour them another drink without a word. His ability to keep his mouth shut led to him being hired for the private parties of the rich and famous; he was a particular favourite of Princess Margaret’s who often flew him to Mustique for her gatherings on the Caribbean island. He was on first-name terms with Charles de Gaulle and Charlie Chaplin and would refill glasses for hellraisers such as Errol Flynn and Ernest Hemingway. “In those days we used to serve one bottle of vodka a year at the Savoy and that was to Errol Flynn,” he recalled. “I used to have the glass ready for him with vodka and red pepper — we put cayenne pepper on the top of the glass and he used to have it like that.” Mark Birley had his own coterie of top-class mixologists at his nightclub Annabel’s, but preferred having his drinks mixed by Gilmore. As Birley was known as the “best-dressed man in London”, Gilmore was inundated with requests to reveal where the entrepreneur had his clothes made. Laurel and Hardy would regularly arrive with a copy of the Savoy cocktail book in their arms. “They would pick out a different cocktail each time,” Gilmore said. “Their ambition was to try every single one.’’ When the breathalyser was intro-
duced in Britain in 1967, NBC called Gilmore to ask him if it would impact on the bar’s business. “Not here,” Gilmore replied. “All our customers are chauffeur driven.” Journalists from nearby Fleet Street would benefit from the potency of Gilmore’s cocktails in the search for scoops but would know better than to try and tap Gilmore for information. Tycoons struck deals on a Gilmore-prepared cocktail. Some even admitted that it was only after consuming one of his potent beverages that they realised how much it had helped to oil the wheels of commerce. In 1958 a young Jocelyn Stevens walked out after buying Queen magazine. “God knows what Joe had given me. All I do know is that since then Joe has made me only whisky sours and poured them with a special smile. No one in the world makes a whisky sour better than Joe.” Gilmore had a penchant for creating cocktails to mark momentous events. His most famed concoction was the Moonwalk. Comprised of grapefruit juice, Grand Marnier, rose water and champagne, it was first mixed to commemorate the Moon landings in 1969. A flask was flown to the US that arrived one hour before the astronauts came out of quarantine. It was the first drink they had after returning to Earth, and Neil Armstrong wrote a thank-you letter to the Savoy. Gilmore even influenced politics. To mark Britain’s entry into the European Economic Community in 1973, he created the Common Market, combining drinks from all the member states. “One of Britain’s anti-marketers who tried the drink said afterwards he was now in favour of Market entry,” reported The Sun. “In fact, he added, he was in favour of everything.” Joe Gilmore was born in 1922 in Belfast, one of a family of ten. His parents owned a popular tobacco shop that remained open until the 1990s. At the age of 16, he joined a friend to cross the Irish Sea to London to make his fortune. He shared a room in Long Acre, Covent Garden, for five shillings a week and found his first job, packing wallpaper in a factory. His room
mate would tell him tales of the delicious food he enjoyed in his catering job, inspiring Gilmore to follow him into the profession. He began by washing dishes at the Trocadero, but left to take a vacant bar job at La Coquille on St Martin’s Lane. In 1940 he joined the Savoy as a trainee barman, earning £3 10s a week. The 18-year-old was taken under the wing of head bartender Harry Craddock, a fugitive from America during the Prohibition era. One of Gilmore’s earliest customers was Winston Churchill, who was dining at the Savoy when he received the call informing him he was the prime minister. The Savoy kept a stock of its own-brand whisky during the rationing years, but Churchill was not a fan. “He gave me a bottle of Black & White whisky saying “that’s for me’,” recalled Gilmore. “I would keep this for him and serve it to him each time he came.” During the Second World War, Gilmore served as a fire warden on the roof of the Savoy, with a spectacular, if perilous, view of the pyrotechnics of the Blitz. He said that he wanted to “do his bit” by joining the navy, but was told by the management that his mixology skills were vital to keeping up morale on the home front. “They said to me that I would be in the front line anyway, working in London at the Savoy.” His decision not to join the Savoy staff strike in 1946 was rewarded with shares by the hotel’s chairman Rupert D’Oyly Carte, which he kept until the takeover by US investment group Blackstone in 1998. He was promoted to head bartender in 1954 and would spend an hour each morning reading the newspapers to ensure that he was well informed on subjects such as bloodstock, fashion and stock prices. Gilmore was a devout Catholic, and until his final illness he and his wife — Marie Zambelli who he married in 1943 — were worshippers at the church of St Anselm and St Cecilia in Lincoln’s Inn Fields near their flat in Lamb’s Conduit Street. His wife survives0 him along with their three sons: Anthony, who is a graphic designer; Brian, a film technician; and Joseph, a sound editor. When Gilmore retired from the Sa-

voy in 1975 he had created nearly 200 cocktail recipes. As head barman at a City restaurant called the Viceroy, he could finally enjoy evenings, weekends and bank holidays. Many of his former customers would drop by and ask him to mix their favourite drink. “I don’t miss the Savoy really,” he said. “Because

Princess Margaret often flew him to Mustique for her gatherings my customers have taken me with them.” Gilmore loved horse racing and was a regular punter. Every Saturday morning he would ring his sister Elizabeth in north Belfast and they would choose the horses for the day. However, he was notoriously bad at picking winners and customers at the Savoy soon learnt to ignore his racing tips. Until his death in 2014, the Duke of Marlborough did the lottery every week with Gilmore (and previously the football pools) but with similar lack of success. Gilmore’s cocktails are still requested at the Savoy, especially the Moonwalk, where they serve up to 20 in a day. Friends and family begged Gilmore to tell stories of the rich and famous he had served, but he would not be drawn. One of the few stories he did like to tell was of being given a cigar by Churchill after he had created a cocktail in his honour. The cigar became a prized possession. “I didn’t smoke it. But I kept showing it to guests,” Gilmore said. “Eventually it turned to sawdust.”

Savoy appoints local media company to launch new luxury magazine for iconic hotel 20th January 2016
One of the world’s most iconic hotels, The Savoy, has appointed Tunbridge Wells-based One Media to create a prestigious quarterly magazine. One Media publishes this newspaper. Opened to global acclaim in 1889, The Savoy in London combined glamorous style with the cutting-edge technology of the time; it was the fi rst hotel in the world to be entirely lit by electric lights and to install electric lifts, saving the legs of its guests by elevating them up to their luxurious River View Suites.

can be done. To help you stand out in all the right ways we turned to two wedding & business professionals for their expert advice. Bruce Russell | By Bruce Russell Work as a wedding planner is definitely not a 9-5 job. A cornerstone of the day-to-day is being able to know how to handle any curveballs that can be thrown your way; sometimes even on the wedding day itself. When I’m looking at people to join my team, I’m seeking out the candidates who are dependable, competent, resourceful, intelligent, enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the industry. It’s a demanding sector, so passion for the work is paramount; you have to want to commit the hours. Another important part of the job is the requirement to be discreet and professional at all times. This is a clientfacing world and we are often working alongside couples who really value their privacy. So much of what we do is relationship based that I need someone who is able to build a real rapport and become a trusted confidante. We are delivering the most important day of this couple’s life together and it has to be perfect. Innovation is also key. We operate in a rapidly changing world and it pays to be at the forefront. I’m forever looking at ways to evolve my proposition and having someone working alongside me, who also has an eye to the future and strives to enhance our service, with an injection of creativity and imagination, is a real asset.

things naturally. Bridal Musings is my baby, of course I’m going to go the extra mile for it. It’s extra special when someone I’m working with goes out of their way to create something special or pours their heart and soul into a project that they’re passionate about. It’s not sustainable, or a way to work each and every day, but when I see flashes of those qualities, it absolutely makes people stand out for all the right reasons.

Both Elizabeth and Bruce are valued members of our UK Advisory Board and we thank them so much for this valuable advice. What I love about this advice is that Elizabeth and Bruce have each given us a list of qualities that we can cultivate in order to stand out. What really hit home for me though was the comment Bruce made about having to ‘want’ to commit the hours. That says everything! This doesn’t mean you have to become a slave to work but if you be-grudge the hours you spend at work, you probably are not doing the right thing. If you want to be there and want to be pouring your passion, enthusiam, skills and knowledge into something, you are going to stand out beautifully!

The best whisky bars in London...
Publication Date: January Circulation: 1,000,000
Why talk about the weather when you can talk about whisky? Sure it's cold but it's also Burn's night on Monday. So whether or not you're into kilts and haggis, there's never a more appropriate time to be drinking a dram of Scotland's finest. London's done with detoxing and it's back to what it does best; non-stop with the wicked new openings. Late night live music in Dalston , Hawaiian in Hackney and an extra dose of jerk, rum 'n reggae in Brixton; that's right, Rum Kitchen is joining the SW crew. Oh and Hawksmoor's opening in NYC's new World Trade Center in 2017, so you've got time to save for that plane ticket.
This week's hottest new bars A 3 floored funhouse opens in Soho for soft-launch this weekend! Prosecco on tap, all-day dining, killer short cocktails, live music and a v. late-license. It's a bar, it's a restaurant, it's a club - and it's going to be wicked.
Get stuck into fine wines and fat burgers at the new Lucky Chip Burgers and Wine Over 100 wines on the list, insane rye and bourbon cocktails and big-ass pattys topped with http://tatianamercer.cmail20.com/t/ViewEmail/r/F67C564104C689E42540EF23F30FEDED/A763307A7E6F57797EEA1DAE616D4B3C

how to spend it The American Bar at The Savoy’s London Menu Cocktails inspired by six of the capital’s boroughs
JANUARY 14 2016 JEMIMA SISSONS DAY: 1 For those who might ever have wished to drink their way around London, it’s now possible – without having to move an inch. Time to take a pew at The Savoy’s American Bar, where, from Monday January 18, a tempting new cocktail menu plays homage to six of the capital’s boroughs. Looking from Westminster to Hackney, Tower Hamlets to Camden, the team at the storied bar has drawn inspiration from four areas within each of the six boroughs to meddle, mix and shake up 24 unique and tasty tipples (from £16). The cocktails take their cue from parks, squares, landmarks and nooks and crannies – in the spirit of one of the bar’s longest surviving cocktails, the Green Park. For example, chancing upon London’s smallest square, next to Berry Bros and Rudd in St James’s, Savoy barmen Declan McGurk and Erik Lorincz discovered that this was where the last duel in London was fought. That inspired a drink in two parts – the Pickering Place (pictured) – one made with gin and champagne, the other with Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel mixed with coffee and branca menta (duelling afterwards not obligatory). Another, City Lights, takes its inspiration from the Hackney Empire, built in 1901. It is a nod to the colourful era of cinema, and the drink is a Grey Goosebased flowershop tincture mixed with rose aperitif and champagne. “The new menu is a celebration of London,” says McGurk, “from famous sites, such as St Paul’s, to lesserknown hidden areas. The whole point is storytelling. We wanted to research an area, understand the background, choose a spirit base to suit it, then create a drink to reflect that certain mood.” The American Bar at The Savoy, Strand, London WC2 (0207836 4343; www.fairmont.com/savoy).

(https://thedossiers.files.wordpress.com/2016/01/american‑barno4.jpg) This week the folks at this super‑luxe hangout launched their homely menu, which aims to turn the history and essence of London into a tangible cocktail concoction. The London Menu will take its inspiration from six of the city’s main boroughs, including Westminster, Hackney, Tower Hamlets and Camden, representing not just the world‑renowned landmarks but the hidden nooks and crannies that are still being unturned amongst the cities aged dwellers. To help the launch of this sure‑to‑be‑a‑hit selection of drinks, The American Bar has released a short, silent film (https://youtu.be/by5WchO32u0) What’s most alluring about this new four‑drink menu is the fact that it has taken months of research and recipe‑tuning to create the drinks. As a result, one can only expect such a standard where they essentially bring to life all that the city offers through taste, flavour and texture. Despite the menu’s relative shortness (short, but sweet I might assume!) The American Bar seeks to pack in the city’s two thousand year literary, musical, social and economic history – I’ll put that at approximately 500 years of lovely Londoness per glass. The iconic hotel is itself a creative starting point, as head bartender Eric Lorincz gives us an updated take on The American Bar’s most famous cocktail, the Green Park. The famous Abbey Road is also heralded, while the Olympic Park and the 80’s Punk Rock scene are all immortalised in the bar’s latest refreshment menu. Definitely one for the die‑hard Londoners, Anglophiles and all‑round cocktail connoisseurs. I have three words: See you there!
