Just thought of:

Venus in Santiago, Cuba--the Cuba Libre, of course!

Waldorf Hotel in New York City - whiskey sour?

I am now reduced to making wild guesses.

What/where is the Park Hotel? I've been scratching my head about this one.

I was talking about Harry's New York Bar, but the one in Paris. The Bloody Mary was created by Fernand Petiot when he worked at Harry's New York Bar in Venice, but he admits that all he did was modify George Jessel's recipe a little (so I didn't include the Bloody Mary in the above list).

By the way, the Paris and Venice bars are not connected, but the Venice bar was probably capitalizing on the fame of the bar in Paris. The one in Paris had originally been located in New York and was shipped to Paris -- but the name wasn't Harry's Bar when it was in New York. The one in Paris is named after Harry MacElhone, who is from Scotland, and who bought the bar when the original owner had financial problems.

This is definitely not a snazzy drink. I think you are right about the Astor House and the Park Hotel, but on this one I'm just relying on a quote I read in and old article by Time Magazine.

issybird · 02-17-2012, 04:58 PM

ok, I'll guess Gimlet for the Waldorf.

And how about the Champagne Cocktail for Harry's Paris?

Just for the rhyme, Giacosa/Mimosa.

And the Screwdriver for the Park Hotel.

poohbear_nc · 02-17-2012, 05:45 PM

Harry's Bar in Paris - Sidecar? Rob Roy?

Waldorf Hotel in New York City - Mimosa?

Caffè Giacosa in Florence - something with Pernod?

Morris Bar in Lima - Mojito?

Park Hotel in New York City - Cosmopolitan?

Since we are almost there, I'll give it until 8:00pm then declare the winner if no more cocktails/bars are matched up.

issybird · 02-17-2012, 07:38 PM

oh, we're still missing a cocktail with Campari, aren't we? So I'll guess the Negroni for Giacosa.
