Nestled within the grandeur of St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel, The Hansom proudly presents its new cocktail collection. A Taste of Timelessness. Inspired by the Victorian heritage of the hotel and the historic Hansom taxis that once graced its iconic entrance, this collection offers guests a journey through time—where Victorian elegance meets the vibrancy of today’s King’s Cross.
Blending History and Modern Indulgence
Originally serving as the bustling arrival hall for London’s Hansom cabs, The Hansom continues its legacy as the hotel’s vibrant centrepiece. Beneath vaulted ceilings and surrounded by intricate hand-stencilled designs and gold leaf accents, guests can savour a collection of cocktails that reflect both the spirit of the Victorian era and London’s modern energy.
Signature Cocktails That Tell a Story
Each creation on the menu reflects a chapter of Victorian London’s storied past, brought to life through contemporary mixology and rich flavours. New signature cocktails include:
St. Pancras Royale
A toast to the hotel’s legacy as a gateway to Europe, this sparkling mix of Respited vodka, jasmine syrup, citrus, cherry, and Laurent Perrier La Cuvée Brut NV brings Victorian opulence into today’s cosmopolitan world.
Mariachi Paloma
Celebrating Victorian curiosity for global flavours, this bold cocktail combines Rooster Rojo tequila, grapefruit, agave, chilli, avocado oil, and grapefruit soda for a spirited twist.
Rum Rita
Honouring the hotel’s vibrant social scene, the Rum Rita blends Merser white rum, strawberry-tarragon shrub, citrus, and apple—a playful nod to lively Victorian gatherings.
Raffinato Bianco
Inspired by Victorian London’s love of Italy, Raffinato Bianco combines Malfy gin with lemongrass and rosemary, Cocchi Americano, and Italicus Bergamotto—a refined Italian homage.
The Empress
A floral tribute to Victorian botanical gardens, The Empress features Beefeater gin with lavender, violet liqueur, white port, Earl Grey, and citrus—a delicate, aromatic delight.
A Reflection of the St. Pancras Experience
“Each drink in this collection draws deeply from London’s Victorian heritage while embracing today’s creative spirit,” said Alex Kovac, Venue Manager at the Hansom. “It’s about connecting guests to the rich history of Kings Cross and transporting them through unique flavours and unforgettable stories.”
