Super signature cocktails that you should not miss this summer!

For cocktail lovers - and everyone who likes delicious alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks - ÉgSzínKék in Balatonfüred is a must-stop on the shores of Lake Balaton. This outstanding cocktail and gin bar opened its doors in 2019, and since then it has been waiting for fans of high bar culture every season in the neighbourhood of Tagore Promenade, on Kisfaludy Street. The New Bar of the Year and three-time Country Bar of the Year award winner is primarily known for its wide range of cocktails with its own recipes and its own ingredients and one of the country's largest selections of gin & tonic. It seems unbelievable, but it is true: we can taste more than 300 types of gin & tonics!

“We like the Negroni very much and we like to make different twists out of it. Last summer, our own brand gin, Bodzafüred, made its debut, it is the official gin of the city and also the pride of our bar. Of course, we made a Negroni with this gin, which will make its debut on this summer's drinks menu. The dry, clean gin, with the notes of elderberry in the background, harmonizes very well with the lavender," Hámori Marcell, the owner of ÉgSzínKék, presents the special cocktail, adding that, in addition to the Bodzafüred, the defining ingredient of the cocktail is the self-made lavender cordial. In addition, Aperol is added to the Negroni, which is responsible for the bittersweet taste, and dry vermouth, which rounds off the drink. This signature drink is a great choice for beginners or even sophisticated cocktail drinkers!

In the bar of Next Bistro in Debrecen, Flash by Next, elegance meets moxie, in an exciting and modern form that respects traditions. In this special bar, among the expertly prepared cocktails that stimulate all senses and imagination, almost everyone can find the item that suits them best. Cocktails should be combined with a pleasant dinner in the neighbouring bistro, but even if you arrive in the morning, you will not be disappointed: Flash also offers excellent breakfasts on the menu.

But now let's get back to the world of cocktails: when you think Martini cannot be any better, then you try PS COLLINS and the world turns upside down. The owners of the Next have rethought the Porn Star Martini in a way that perhaps no one has before. A heavenly meeting, where the perfect mixture of ingredients lacked that certain sea salt! A balanced harmony in the glass, accompanied by exceptional aromas. The PS COLLINS is surprising, great, exciting and above all delicious!

The specialty of the Partisan cafe&bar craft cocktail bar in the centre of Pécs lies not only in its present, as the place itself has a long history. The bar operating at the place of the former Nádor Söröző still preserves its historical atmosphere thanks to its wrought iron chandelier and robust, solid wooden stairs. Partisan currently serves its guests as a café and cocktail bar with a wide and constantly expanding selection. Their latest innovation is that they dedicate a unique selection of cocktails to each season, which adds colour to the offer in addition to the permanent items.

The main theme of this summer is the latest batches of Hendrick's gin. One of their greatest drinks is The Coastal Fizz, which emphasizes the characteristics of the new Neptunia gin, so that the consumer will be surrounded by an unadulterated coastal atmosphere. Thanks to lavender syrup and rose petals, a sweet yet spicy flavour will greet the taster.

In the centre of Győr, you can taste sublime cocktails and specialty coffees in a friendly, intimate place. The goal of the team of the Szomszéd Koktélbár és Kávézó is to create a people-centred unit, in the framework of which both beginners and advanced cocktail drinkers can get to know the new cocktail culture in a direct atmosphere. Their outstanding items include - in addition to their own brand Red Lab Coffee specialty coffee - more than 200 types of spirits that come to them from all over the world. Their cocktails include classics and signature drinks, which are tested for the first time at international and domestic competitions. It is interesting that Szomszéd has now been included in Hungary's Top 5 rural bars five times, raising the standard of rural hospitality.

One of the "long-standing" items of Szomszéd Koktélbár is the Blueberry Tractor, which is definitely worth trying during our visit to Győr! Made with Beefeater gin, blueberry, unstrained apple juice and lemon juice, the specialty is sweet, citrusy and trendy, as gins are undoubtedly experiencing a renaissance.
