Journey back to 1934, when barman Fernand Petiot perfected his recipe for an exquisite vodka and tomato juice cocktail at The St. Regis New York's King Cole Bar. For more than 80 years, the Bloody Mary has remained the signature cocktail of the St. Regis.

Here in this inspired list, we bring you a taste of the Astor family's New York Heritage, elevated with the influence of spirited local culture. Discover the city's melting pot of flavour and stories with cocktails inspired by five New York City neighbourhoods.

At the maturing of each day, as dusk settles, we celebrate the distinguished moment with the Violet Hour. The distinction of a Martini, long a symbol of refinement and sophistication, marks the transition from labour to diversion as we welcome the boundless possibility of night.
