Enjoy the authentic flavors of a unique culinary journey.

RITUALS
TIMELESS TRADITIONS
“A legacy of distinction dating back to 1904”
CHAMPAGNE SABERING Raise a Glass
Dating back to the battles of Napoleon Bonaparte, who famously opened champagne with his saber in both victory and defeat, the art of sabrage has become a signature ceremony in our Evening Rituals series. The St. Regis Bal Harbour performs this traditional ceremony every evening at 6:30pm in La Gourmandise. Private Sabering experiences are available. “Champagne: in victory, one deserves it; in defeat, one needs it.” —Napoleon
THE BLOODY MARY The Original
In 1934, famed barman Fernand Petiot perfected the recipe for a vodka-and-tomato juice cocktail at The St. Regis New York’s King Cole Bar. Originally christened the “Bloody Mary”, the cocktail was initially dubbed the “Red Snapper” so as not to offend the hotel’s refined clientele. More than 80 years later, the iconic Bloody Mary remains the signature cocktail of the St. Regis. Enjoy our unique interpretation, The Bloody Sunrise, at The St. Regis Bar.
AFTERNOON TEA A Ritual Reimagined
Indulge in a timeless ceremony with our traditional St Astor, New York’s Grand Dame, to entertain her closest friends at the iconic St. Regis New York. We look forward to welcoming you for tea in La
St. Regis rituals are at the heart of an exquisite stay. From the glamour of the Champagne Sabering, we invite guests to live our legacy. 08 | St. Regis Harbour, Summer Issue 2019 8 | St. Regis BalBal Harbour, Holiday Issue 2019
