Never judge a book by its cover!
This was the first Manhattan I have been served in a plastic martini glass! It was also the best cocktail I have had in Germany so far! It was a Manhattan Perfekt, with a mix of sweet and dry vermouth. The cocktail snob in me did not like the fluorescent cherry or the plastic vessel, but the mix of booze was spot on!
This was at am to pm in Berlin.
Enjoying some Glühwein at the Wolfsburg Christmas Market! This is our first German Christmas Market experience and we approve! How did I live so long without this?
Tasting Genever at Wynand Fockink Proeflokaal in Amsterdam. Oude Genever on the left, Jonge Genever on the right.
White and red in Amsterdam. Perfect after a day of being tourists.
Absinthe in Amsterdam! The one on the left is Swiss and is my favorite. The one in the middle has the best green fairy!
Sooooo good to have sake again! Here we are at Sushi Berlin (in Wolfsburg). I love that sake feels familiar and Germany still feels new and unfamiliar. Travel is a mix of reveling in the new and strange as well as the familiar and nostalgic. Or something like that.
We finally moved into our apartment! After 4 weeks and 4 hotels, this is luxury! We have ice cubes! Ice machines are not a thing in hotels here. To celebrate, we are having gin & tonics!
Fernet-Branca with dessert. So Wolfsburg is not much of a cocktail town from what we can tell. We still manage to drink well though!
Cheers!
Negroni at the hotel bar! Work is pretty intense, so most of our cocktails look a lot like whiskey and coke. Things should lighten up soon and then we will be in search of interesting tipples. Also: We are only 30 minutes away from the home of a world-famous booze. Stay tuned!
Airplane cocktail! Here we go again...stay tuned for our attempts to find cocktails abroad.
Looks like a mint julep, right? I love the presentation of a mint julep and am happy to have found another cocktail to serve this way. This is the Fork in the Road: Hendrick’s Gin, honey, ginger, mint, lime. The name seems apropos since we find ourselves ready to begin our next assignment. This was enjoyed at the Saint Ellie in Denver. They also make excellent tiki drinks.
Back home for a short layover. This is my favorite fall cocktail! The Modern English: lots of gin, pear nectar, lemon juice, and a bar spoon of Goldschläger. BG decided to try egg white this time as well. The egg white made a perfect surface to float a dash of cinnamon on top, but didn’t improve the taste. Boatyard Gin is still our favorite ever and it is amazing in this cocktail as well.
Convenience store sake. I miss it.
Sake at Robot Restaurant in Shinjuku, Tokyo.
Gin and Tonic Standard cocktail fare, but I have never had one served with crushed juniper berries before. Sadly, it took me a second to figure out what foreign substance got into my drink! Hub British Pub, Tokyo
Bar High Five in Ginza, Tokyo. Best cocktails in Tokyo! There is no menu. Every drink is a version of ‘Bartender’s Choice’, but made to fit your taste. Mine is inspired by a Black Manhattan, but showcasing Japanese whiskey. BG’s drink has sherry and other amazing stuff. This basement bar also has a great atmosphere, small and quiet....and behold the beautifully stocked bar!
We found a real cocktail bar. This is the first Manhattan I have had since coming to Tokyo in June! The bartender took tremendous pride in crafting this drink for me. It was a pleasure to watch him work. I was disappointed by the ubiquitous fluorescent Maraschino cherry though. I have been spoiled by the normal colored cherries I was used to at cocktail bars back in our previous stomping grounds. Also this tiny cocktail was $33. Overall I still put this experience in the win column.
