History:
Adapted from a cocktail created in 2014 at and offered on the menu of The American Bar at The Savoy Hotel in London for £17.
Wingspan Cocktail 17.00
The bar menu, The American Bar at The Savoy Hotel, 2014
On 3rd March 1919, William Boeing and Eddie Hubbard delivered the first shipment of international airmail, marking a giant step for communication. The wonderfully named Wingspan Cocktail combines elements of two major cocktails that are affiliated with The Savoy: the classic Aviation cocktail and the lesser-known 'Wings' cocktail, created as a tribute to the RAF during World War II by the then head bartender Eddie Clarke.
Bombay Sapphire gin, Swedish Punch, Cocchi Americano, Crème de Violet, Orange bitters.
