Is the Maven of Mayfair London’s most Instagrammable cocktail? Created by the Revery Bar, this fancy fizz sells for £220 a glass and is served in a Baccarat crystal flute.

The Revery Bar, at the London Hilton on Park Lane, says the Maven of Mayfair is indicative of its commitment to sophistication, and it certainly pushes the boundaries of mixology. The designer drink is causing a stir on London’s cocktail scene.
