Trafalgar Square’s grand hotel brasserie, The Balcon at the Sofitel St James, has got something rather unusual on the menu. We all know it’s is just the job for a business lunch or pre theatre bite, but how about for a new kind of dessert bar?

The hotel has launched what they are calling a Baba Bar – not to be confused with Baa Bar (something completely different and more likely to be packed with inebriated students!) – inspired by the traditional rum baba. The desserts come in five liquor-infused varieties: Baba Cointreau Long Island Ice Tea, Baba Gin Pimms, Baba Rum Pina Colada, Baba Tequila and Baba Vodka Moscow Mule.

Diners at The Balcon can choose from a range of flavoured Babas, each served with a complimentary cocktail for £16.
