Raffles Hotel's Long Bar in Singapore (Singapore Sling) -- Shayne Parkinson Caribe Hilton’s Beachcomber Bar in San Juan (Pina Colada) -- Shayne Parkinson Trader Vic's (Mai Tai) -- Bilbo1967 Venus in Santiago, Cuba (Cuba Libre) -- Issybird Morris Bar in Lima (?????) Hotel Metropole in Brussels (Black Russian) -- Poohbear_nc Shannon International Airport in Shannon, Ireland (Irish Coffee) -- Hamlet53 Arizona Biltmore Hotel in Pheonix, AZ (Tequila Sunrise) -- Issybird Park Hotel in New York City (?????) Oak Beach Inn in Oak Beach, NY (Long Island Iced Tea) -- Bilbo1967 Quote:
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. |

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. |

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

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