World's Best Hotel Bar Celebrates Recent Award with New Cocktail
To celebrate, Bar Manager Ben Provost has taken a gamble and augmented a toasting libation by crafting the No.18. (The name is a nod to his lucky Las Vegas number.) The bar's true distinguishing feature, this master of mixology has been creating both classic cocktails and new concoctions at The Stafford for the past thirteen years. Today he enjoys putting a fresh twist on traditional drinks to create surprises for guests' taste buds.

Combining a typical celebratory beverage with the latest, trendy ingredients, the No. 18 includes:

Splash of Ginger Liquor
Splash of Pomegranate Juice
Pol Roger Champagne

The No.18 is priced at £14.50 and will be offered throughout 2010 to commemorate the award.

Tucked away in the heart of St James's, The Stafford radiates an air of Englishness into an increasingly international capital. From the 380-year-old working wine cellars to the beautifully restored Carriage House and contemporary Stafford Mews suites, it is the first choice for the discerning traveler. Complimenting the hotel's fine-dining English restaurant and informal lounge, the award-winning American Bar (home to one of the capital's most fascinating collections of international artifacts, memorabilia and oddities) is the choice for those seeking to relax in a lively, yet sophisticated setting while enjoying a classic cocktail, pint of the bar's "Boss' Brew" or a fine cigar in adjacent outdoor heated lounge.
