Firmdale Hotels’ Ham Yard Bar has revealed a new cocktail menu as part of its 10th anniversary celebrations.

The new menu, titled Stories of Soho, celebrates the legends and institutions of the hotel’s eclectic neighbourhood, with each cocktail nodding to a new element of the area’s history – from landmarks to famous figures that have graced its streets.

One highlight is Heroes, a mixture of mixture of grapefruit-infused gin, Suze and citrus oil topped with a stencil of David Bowie, one of the many stars who has recorded at Soho’s Dean Street Studios. Another is Un Corretto, a beverage created to evoke the essence of Soho’s lively café culture, featuring a homemade coffee-cherry infusion and Bourbon-based milk punch, garnished with a brandy-soaked white chocolate cherry. Blushed Tomato, meanwhile, is an ode to Berwick Street Market, where tomatoes were first introduced to the UK. The savoury cocktail is made with clarified gazpacho, Pod Pea vodka, pickle juice and ancho chilli, for a sophisticated take on the Bloody Mary.

“I have always been in awe of the many people and places that have made Soho what it is today,” says Bar Manager Riccardo Lupacchini. “With our new ‘Stories of Soho’ menu, I have tried to distil some of this history into 10 cocktails. We hope our guests will enjoy the drinks, just as much as we have enjoyed creating them.”
