Velvet by Salvatore Calabrese

London, UK

Hear 'the music of the shake’ at Velvet, the Corinthia London’s late-night champagne and cocktail bar created by global powerhouse Salvatore Calabrese, also known as The Maestro. The poetic phrase is Salvatore’s and so is the poetic spirit of the drinks from the bar's menu The Quote Book. Combining the power of AI with wise words from the likes of Walt Disney, Marie Curie and Coco Chanel, Salvatore and his team have crafted a selection of drinks that pay liquid tribute to icons both past and present. Take a look at the Flavour section of the menu, with its bold, piano-motif design, and choose your muse: Lady Gaga, Frida Kahlo or Maya Angelou, perhaps? The Poker Face features Italicus bergamot liqueur, Tanqueray No. 10 Gin, yogurt, lemon and berry red-wine foam, in tribute to Gaga’s words: "If you don’t have any shadows, you’re not in the light." Naturally the space is bedecked with velvet furnishings; if you catch Salvatore in action, he’s likely to be sporting a dapper velvet jacket too.
