Director of Mixology, Federico Pavan, and key members of his mixology team will be travelling across the globe and working alongside other leading minds in the industry to serve everyone’s favourite cocktails from their Once Upon A Time menu.

For a limited-time only, The Donovan Bar’s much-loved cocktails can be sipped and savoured in the very best bars in Milan, Florence, the Caribbean and beyond and, in turn, The Donovan Bar will play host to the best mixologists from all around the world, in the heart of Mayfair.

Meet the mixologists behind the magic:

Salvatore Calabrese, the ‘Maestro’

‘The Maestro’ has been making innovative cocktails for 40 years now and continues to conjure flavourful surprises at The Donovan Bar. A best-selling author and award-winning industry legend, Salvatore’s famous Breakfast Martini is sure to add the perfect twist to any evening.

Federico Pavan, Director of Mixology

Having started his career in 2009 in Madrid, Federico began his collaboration with Salvatore four years later and created cocktails for famous and celebrated names across the word. The soul behind our unique menu and the precision behind the bar, Federico’s love for the craft is unparalleled.

Fabio Spinetti, Bar Manager

Bringing over 18 years of experience and a keen love for rare spirits to the table, Fabio presents the finest vintage labels with a contemporary twist. Always on the lookout for new liqueurs, his expertise lies in bringing together the best of tradition and innovation.

Residing in one of London’s most iconic hotels, The Donovan Bar has long been known as one of the most intimate and sophisticated drinking dens in the city playing host to gatherings of the most glamorous faces of Mayfair’s elite fashion and art scene.

It takes inspiration from the bar’s namesake and close friend of the Forte family, the iconic 1960s photographer Sir Terence Donovan, whose black and white photographs adorn the walls. The impeccable cocktail menu comes courtesy of Salvatore Calabrese and Federico Pavan who, together, have created a sublime list marrying personal classics with original concoctions.
