How to Make a Savoy Affair Cocktail

Savoy Affair is yet another gift passed down from the illustrious head bar man at Savoy Hotel’s American bar. The cocktail is as glamorous to sight as the name with a ravishing color. Joe Gilmore, the man behind this drink and many others, mixed it on his visit to the Atlantic Hotel at Germany. The drink is an absolute delight to both taste and sight and is famous at both bars and home parties equally. Let us try its recipe and explore which new worlds of taste making does it take us to.
