Last night, Istumbled into what felt like a scene in Brideshead Revisited. The atmosphere in Hotel Delmano took me back to Havana 1930, and I felt like British aristocracy, casually enjoying my tweaked to perfection cocktail. After thoroughly enjoying the St. Germain, Commandant's Cocktail, and Hemingway's Daquiri, my boyfriend and I decided to ask our wonderfully handle bar-moustached bartender for some special requests. He asked for the most bitter cocktail one could find, and I asked for a cocktail embodying A Midsummer Night's Dream. My boyfriend's was fabulous, but I was most amazed at the wizardry behind my drink. Egg white, gin, chartreuse, rose water...a few other things that I have no idea of. All shaken with a twist of orange, the frothy white drink was topped off with a cherry blossom which happened to be blooming in a vase nearby. It was magical, mischevous, and all together lovely. Exactly A Midsummer Night's Dream. Flawlessly created on a whim. I dare say, I can't wait to think of something next and taste Hotel Delmano's delightful response!
Pros: perfect place for a perfect cocktail
Cons: a bit crowded
