7 Cocktails from the Best International Bar 2015

At the 9th edition of Tales of the Cocktail held in New Orleans over the weekend, the British capital snagged five of eight awards in the international category.

For the fourth year in a row, The Artesian at the Langham hotel took the title of best international cocktail bar for elevating drinks to a multi-sensory, gastronomic and even cerebral level.

Recently, bar team Alex Kratena and Simone Caporale launched a new menu titled “Surrealism,” inspired by Salvador Dali’s “Les Diners de Gala” in which cocktails are served in giant copper ant structures; lit aflame; and spritzed with perfume.

Take a look at what cocktails from the best international bar look like.
