But we were told the &#8216;secret entrance&#8217; of the bar is on the street, and sent outside the hotel by the concierge. \u00a0We finally found the no-so-secretive entrance, where a small blue\u00a0spot light was gleaming over the side walk in front of the handsome hand-crafted door.<\/p>\n<p>The excitement continued as\u00a0we swayed down the sleek curved\u00a0staircase, and\u00a0stopped\u00a0briefly to\u00a0admire\u00a0a dazzling grand chandelier. I also noticed a small stage at the corner, where live music would be played later in the evening. \u00a0Then here\u00a0we were, looking at this\u00a03000-square-foot of glamour and style, reminiscing the jazz era, \u00a0with glowing\u00a0white table tops surrounded by turquoise seats and booths, green velvet curtains, and a\u00a0massive bar illuminated in soft amber lights. \u00a0I felt like I was about to celebrate life\u00a0like the great Jay Gatsby.<\/p>\n<p>The cocktails\u00a0were just as sexy. I enjoyed\u00a0the famous <strong>Hotel Georgia Cocktail<\/strong>, made of\u00a0Beefeater gin, lemon, orgeat, orange blossom water, egg white, \u00a0and nutmeg. The egg white foam, the creaminess, and the citrus taste slightly reminded me of Pisco Sour, and yet the acidity was much more\u00a0subtle, complemented by some beautiful floral notes from gin, orgeat, and orange blossom water, and a hint of\u00a0warmth and comfort from nutmeg. It was definitely a feel-food drink.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7247\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7247\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-110.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-7247 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-110.jpeg\" alt=\"Hotel Georgia Cocktail \" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-110.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-110-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-110-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-110-174x131.jpeg 174w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-110-70x53.jpeg 70w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7247\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hotel Georgia Cocktail<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Will&#8217;s <strong>L\u2019Air de Panache<\/strong> looked somewhat similar to mine by appearance, but was much more exotic conceptually, made with &#8216;Zubrowka&#8217; bison grass vodka, green apple, lemon, ginger, jasmine honey foam, and bergamot aroma. The cocktail is most likely inspired by the fictional  cologne in the film The Grand Budapest Hotel that has turned into a real product. The drink did present a great aromatic quality, with so many different little notes of flavours dancing on the palate, and it was much less foreign than I was expecting.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7246\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7246\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-109.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-7246 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-109.jpeg\" alt=\"L\u2019Air de Panache\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-109.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-109-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-109-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-109-174x131.jpeg 174w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-109-70x53.jpeg 70w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7246\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">L\u2019Air de Panache<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We had to get a double <strong>Hendrick&#8217;s and Soda with Cucumber<\/strong>, after our interesting experience earlier at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/kamei-baru\/\" target=\"_blank\">Kamei Baru<\/a>. We need to see how the pros make this simple drinks at a high-end bar like this. I was surprised to see the big wedge of lime in the high ball cocktail. Yes it was delicious, but the hint of acidity from lime slightly tempered the essence of cucumber infused the liquor, and affected the &#8216;clean&#8217; taste of the drink. I have to admit this is a personal obsession. So a note to myself, I would definitely ask for no lime or lemon next time. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7244\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7244\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-107.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-7244 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-107.jpeg\" alt=\"Hendrick's and Soda with Cucumber\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-107.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-107-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-107-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-107-174x131.jpeg 174w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-107-70x53.jpeg 70w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7244\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hendrick&#8217;s and Soda with Cucumber<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Overall the experience was magnificent at the elegant and stylish Prohibition Bar, even though it was a short one. We enjoyed in the raised area in the back where seating was more comfortable, more suitable for having conversations. Their food menu does seem intriguing, and our Truffle Fries were delicious.
