A good breakfast, lots of walking around the city - preferably on foot, then you can discover more...... -, a good dinner and then an evening out. For me, I also like to go to a cocktail bar 🍹 . Surprisingly, the word "cocktail" 🍸 originated in the Anglo-Saxon-speaking world around 1800 and originally only referred to a very specific type of mixed drink that was common at the time. The first written source defined "cock tail" in 1806 as a "stimulating drink made from spirits of all kinds, sugar, water and bitters". It was customary to dilute the often still very rough spirits that came out of the barrel at the time with water and sweeten them with sugar before drinking them; these drinks were called sling. A "cocktail" 🍹 was therefore nothing more than a variation of a sipping drink flavored with herbal bitters, which roughly corresponds to today's Old Fashioned. It was just as common to have cocktails 🍹 in the morning. Okay. I'd be out of it then. I'm more for the evening cocktail 🍸 . A drink in a bar like that is really something. My choice: not too sweet, preferably something tart. Fancy. And definitely always ask the bartender for his personal recommendation! Location: Bar of the Milestone Hotel London. Kisses 😘
