Favourite Cocktails

Hi just wondering what favourites you have. I am a vodka and diet coke drinker and I usually drink the same wherever I go, boring I know, but I am gonna be a bit more adventurous while I am in Prague and was just wondering what cocktails are the nicest. I have tried a Bloody Mary and liked it but would like to try different ones.

Hi 2GG,

We paid a visit to U Prince Hotel in Old Sq, for our cocktails on the terrrace, the views from there are fantastic, they cost around £5... i had Black Russian, with slices of lime, Hubby had Brandy Sour, plus a beer !

Hope you enjoy your visit :-)

Sorry guys, the old 1990 absinthe has been prohibited by law in all of Europe.... the stuff u get these days are copies, even the oldest brand. No more magic nuts as base ingredients...

Visit the cowboy cocktail and steak house; they know how to make cocktails. And there is a big cocktail bar a couple of blocks off staromske namesti... Towards the Jewish quarter.

I%26#39;ve still got a bottle of absinth knocking about in a cupboard - it is filthy stuff so I doubt it will ever be finished... the kitchen sink is the most likely recipient :)

I don%26#39;t think it has been banned, and it does still contain wormwood, but Czech absinth isn%26#39;t the real thing anyway and the effects have been wildly exaggerated http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absinthe

They%26#39;re not exactly %26#39;cocktails%26#39;, but try Fernet with tonic (bavorák) or Becherovka with tonic (Beton).

May be, claiming all of europe a little over the top, but all i know is that a lot of countrys in europe did not allow it before.

A friend of my work whit innport at Arcus, the biggest booze importer in Norway, and they goot a notice that becouse of the strickt rules in Europe regarding Absinthe. They would have to make another type, same taste but different %26quot;effect%26quot;.

Even though this effect is more as u said exaggerated.

I think a lot of Americans have heard about it, and when in Europe.....

QOUTE START

They have approved the use of the term %26quot;absinthe%26quot; on the label of a distilled spirits product and in related advertisements only if the product is %26quot;thujone-free%26quot; pursuant to the Food and Drug Administration%26#39;s (FDA) regulations.

Based on the updated policy, absinthe is considered %26quot;thujone-free%26quot; if it contains 10 ppm or less thujone.QOUTE END

QUOTE 2 START

Is absinthe legal?

Absinthe is legal in many countries. The United States and the European Union allows the sale of authentic absinthe that complies with regulatory requirements.

QUOTE 2 END

This was what i ment. It`s leagal if %26quot;thujone-free%26quot;

2Greyeyes: havent tried all myself either, but i used to work as a bartender at the dubliner in oslo.

Many good drinks on that list.
