Poland Bar Hop Pt4: I donโ€™t usually go for hotel bars, but the bartenders at Cloud One Hotel in Gdansk do it up right. During my stay I tried their Old Town house cocktail (recipe ๐Ÿ“ธ7), a Rob Roy with Ardbeg 10, and a Martini made with a Gdansk vodka brand and lime zest. All expertly built and quite good. Plus the bar looks surreal, like youโ€™re floating in champagne. Na zdrowie! New notes on a 2014 PURE KENTUCKY XO. Tap that ๐Ÿ”— IN BIO for deets on this pre-โ€œWillettโ€ release from Willetโ€™s NDP days. Were those better days for the PKXO? Cheers! Poland Bar Hop Pt3: Located in the Old Town center of Gdansk, the rather literally named Craft Cocktails lives up to its name with an extensive and creative menu. I had the Almost There (recipe ๐Ÿ“ธ 6) and despite being a whiskey cocktail if youโ€™d told me it was a Mojito variation I might have believed you. Very refreshing anyway. And the 1930s art deco atmosphere manages to be both that and casual. Good joint. Na zdrowie!
