Rosewood London’s Scarfes Bar Pays Homage To Celebrated Caricaturist
By Roger Sands for Forbes

Scarfes Bar at Rosewood London has unveiled its latest cocktail menu, “Long Drawn Out Sip,” a celebration of renowned caricaturist Gerald Scarfe, whose artwork adorns the walls. The menu is inspired by his book Long Drawn Out Trip: A Memoir, exploring his work through the medium of dreams which are both whimsical and nightmarish. The 24 original creations, including two non- alcoholic adaptations, will serve as liquid doorways for guests to experience Scarfe’s surreal and creative outlook on the world.

Curated by Director of Bars Andy Loudon and the award winning Scarfes Bar team, the new menu invites guests to step inside Scarfe’s surreal world. The menu is divided into four chapters — Fears, Desires, Revelations and Transformations – drawing on universal dream states and Scarfe’s eclectic body of work. Highlights include a mix of bold and playful cocktails like: Toothless Grin, a reimagined Sazerac accompanied by lemon curd and goat cheese, served on a bespoke charcuterie board; Portrait of Fame, a vibrant cocktail featuring Aperol, rhubarb, and Buddha’s hand; and The Truth at Last, a savory gin and tonic enhanced with toasted sesame and cucumber, served with a fortune cookie.
