Her father was suitably impressed with our choice and decided to skip coffee and go straight in for a cocktail. We did not need much persuasion either, even though it was barely 1pm. The sun was shining; the day was gorgeous and called for a mini celebration of this wonderful moment.
So, my friend opted for a classic espresso martini, while her dad and I chose a lovely sounding Calatrava cocktail . We figured out that the cocktail was named so after the neighbourhood where we were located. Served in a brushed crystal coupe glass, it featured a base of tequila , enriched with apple juice, pineapple juice, and elderflower.
A friend who works here later explained that the foam is achieved using Stilabunt, “a vegan-friendly egg white substitute, that adds a smooth, velvety layer to this vibrant mix”. This cocktail was a delightful blend of fruity and floral notes. I thought that it perfectly captured the essence of the lively neighbourhood we were in.
I also really liked the garnish in the form of a dehydrated thin slice of a green apple. This hidden gem is one of my favourite spots to take a visitor I would like to impress or for a leisurely after work time with friends and colleagues, so you might spot me there more than once this summer.
