An iconic drink with more than 100 years of history. How many different variations and twists are offered. I chose one. The one who started writing his story in the 60s of the last century, when Ian Fleming drops his first story of agent 007 - Casino Royal.
Who doesn't remember the famous phrase: "3 parts gin, 1 part vodka, 1/2 part Kina Lillet, shake, don't stir..."?
However, this drink is directly connected to the place where I work - Grandhotel Pupp, where the remake of this movie with Daniel Craig was shot.
Cocktail - twist on Vesper, I called PHOENIX. This drink is inspired by the original, but makes the citrus heart of Tanqueray no.10 gin stand out, where the citrus of the gin, kumquats and bergamot are combined in the drink, but at the same time other ingredients drawn from local nature. It is a lighter version of this legendary drink. Just as this drink was almost doomed to be forgotten, so too our craft faces the most difficult times in bar history, when many bars, concepts or bartenders had to burn down to rise again from the ashes, just like the mythical Pheonix.

What matters is not how many times we fall to the ground, but how many times we get up and keep going. Just like Agent 007 who never gives up…
Drink Pheonix is a cocktail that will awaken your desire for more...
