When your bar program name-drops Monet, entails fancy things like Martini Rosato pressure-infused strawberries, and includes five-figure Champagne options, a vinyl menu holder with a slip of paper banged out on the old ink-jet printer probably just isn’t going to cut it. So the Beaufort Bar at the Savoy in London has rolled out a new, custom-made cocktail menu — it’s a book, really — where every signature drink has its own pop-up page. The “Blue Angel” is inspired by Marlene Dietrich and has gin, Cointreau, Dom Perignon, sorbet, and gold dust, of course; an image of the movie star herself watches you as you make your decision. Cocktails can end up costing more then $40 apiece, so after a couple of rounds you may as well take one home — it costs $80.
