Due to the novel Coronavirus, most people are following shelter-in-place and self-isolation orders. Restaurants, bars, and hotels are closed meaning you can't go out for happy hour right now, or enjoy sipping favorite cocktails at your local bar down the block.
Some of my most beloved bars happen to be hotel bars. From lobby lounges with moody lighting, plush seating, and inviting atmospheres, to poolside watering holes where I can imbibe while watching the waves in the distance. Hotel bars typically serve inventive concoctions and libations that are chef-designed, ones you never could have dreamed up yourself.
I've been known to ask hotel bartenders for their recipes on the spot if I find a particularly spectacular signature drink. I've even mixed up the Ilún from Tierra Chiloé (included below) myself when I was feeling particularly nostalgic for the hotel's rustic wooden bar, copper fireplaces, and cozy oversized couches.
While we can't sip a hotel tipple on property, we now have the recipes to mix them up at home. Follow my lead and relive favorite hotel memories by making an exceptional hotel drink yourself.
