Hollywood, CA(Spiritsman)5/11.12.—In celebration of the London 2012 Summer Olympics, The Lanesborough, London’s preeminent luxury hotel ideally located in Knightsbridge, steps away from Buckingham Palace and Harrods, will be offering a Gold Medal “ring” to award each thirsty, game-supporting guests a refreshing reprieve.  Introducing the new, limited-time Gold Metal Martini cocktail, served up in a chilled crystal glass with a pure gold powdered rim at the hotel’s award-winning Library Bar.

“The Gold Medal Martini was created to celebrate the spirit of the Olympic competitions as well as pay tribute to the winners from all over the world,” says Alexandre Caujolle, Food and Beverage Director at The Lanesborough. “At The Lanesborough, we are all winners and deserve nothing less than the king cocktails – The Martini.”

The Gold Metal Martini boasts a sophisticated look but is simple to create.  Also interesting to mention to guests during cocktail hour is its historical significance – the ancient Egyptians believed that eating powdered gold made men immortal. So add a touch of theater to your Olympic-game watching – even from home with this simple cocktail twist!
