PCH

Not Port Cygnet House! but “Pacific Cocktail Haven” and what a 😎 haven it was. Stumbled across this late night cocktail bar on our way back to our hotel after having an American-Italian dinner.

All those lights but only a few turned on, how are us old visually challenged people supposed to see the cocktail list let alone the prices! But once we clocked the young with phone lights on we didn’t feel quite so old after-all!

This was the bouncer … one cool dude with his sheriff looking security badge!

Sandy loves tall men with hats … thank goodness!

A Matadora Whisky for me, ingredients are a rye whisky, cognac + licor 43, suze, guava, macadamia nut, mascarpone and strawberry. Now thats a mouth full of words so let’s hope it works all together … it so worked and it was soooooo good. Just a drop of this and that, the balance was perfect and the creamy nutty flavour worked with the whisky. So to make it was apparently simple, apart from the whisky and cognac all the other ingredients are blended and frozen together, solid removed through some sort of magic and the clear liquid added to the final whisky drink. Very Heston-esk, a tad wanky but so inner-city chic.
