The Ritz Hotel in London is a posh landmark set among the hustle and bustle of the city. To one side is Picadilly Circus with it's traffic, billboards and shops; to the other side is beautiful Green Park which leads the way to Buckingham Palace. Quite a few notable people have stayed and met at the hotel including Charlie Chaplin, and Churchill, de Gaulle and Eisenhower during World War II.
Last week we had dinner with my Uncle, and the outing included a post-dinner drink at the Ritz. My cocktail presentation was incredibly unique - a Ramos Gin Fizz served in a golden goose egg perched within an edible caramel nest. Very delicious but even more visually distinctive. It was quite the nightcap:

Next time, we will have to try El Presidente. A mix of Bacardi 150th Anniversary Rum, 1950s Martini & Rossi Red Vermouth, and 1960s Grand Marnier Liquor only for 350 pounds. Maybe one day... but only if it's served on the rocks with ice cold gold cubes : )
