St Pancras hotel gives away free Spice Girls-themed cocktail to mark 30 years of debut album Spice
St. Pancras London, the hotel where the Spice Girls filmed the music video for their debut single Wannabe in 1996, is giving away a free cocktail until the end of the year to mark the 30th anniversary of the group’s first album, Spice.
The drink, named Thirty in Pink, is available at the hotel’s Booking Office 1869 bar and restaurant, and guests can claim it by using a line from the band’s first hit.
To receive the cocktail, guests approach the bartender and ask: “Do you know what I want?” When the bartender replies “What I really really want!”, the drink is served free of charge.
Thirty in Pink combines St. Pancras London Gin, ginger syrup, pink peppercorn bitters, elderflower, passion fruit and lemon. It is topped with English sparkling wine and finished with a touch of sparkle.
The hotel’s connection with the group dates back to the Wannabe video, which introduced Posh, Baby, Scary, Sporty and Ginger to audiences in 1996. The building’s Grand Staircase features prominently in the video, in which the five members move through the hotel’s interiors.
