ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Philippa “Pippa” Guy is the first female senior bartender to be appointed to The Savoy Hotel’s world-renowned American Bar in over 100 years. The last woman to hold a senior role at the bar was Ada Coleman, “England’s most famous barmaid.” Pippa particularly enjoys inventing her own original cocktail recipes and has helped create innovative cocktail menus at The Savoy, including the 2018 menu, “Every Moment Tells a Story.”
