For the ultimate apéritif or after dinner drinks, visit the El Prado Cocktail Bar which just opened this year in Piso Livadi, Paros. Situated in the former premises of Remezzo, it has a prime location, directly on the beach, perfect for experiencing unforgettable summer moments with Latin music, Jazz and other well-chosen sounds from around the world.
El Prado specialises in unique cocktails, beers for all tastes, homemade refreshments and exotic smoothies and sorbets with natural fruit and pure ingredients. Vasilis, the owner and bartender, has a passion for alchemy, mixing fruits, herbs, spices, bitters and syrups with alcoholic beverages from his rich cellar. Using the most innovative techniques of molecular mixology to create greater intensities and varieties of flavour, you will be astonished by his creations – like Green Citrus Caviar, formed through the process of spherification in which the juice of the fruit is shaped into spheres of juice-filled pearls that explode in the mouth in an incredible taste sensation!
The art, and science, of molecular gastronomy is favoured by today’s most avant-garde chefs, using unconventional textures and flavours to create amazing new combinations of tastes. So don’t hesitate to ask Vasilis for suggestions according to your preferences, or try something for the first time. You can’t fail to be impressed!
Even old favourites – like Gin & Tonic – are specially mixed with homemade tonic flavoured with the natural tastes of cinchona bark, cardamom and lime, or Screwdrivers with freshly-squeezed oranges combined with orange bitters to boost flavour to the limit.
Sample the ‘Mediterranean Kiss’ or the ‘Calendula Dizzy Bee’, and taste for yourself what a difference a few herbs and spices can make. Molecular mixology means endless combinations, so you will never cease to surprise your senses with new sights, smells, textures and tastes.
“I love working in a special place like this where people from all over the world meet,” Vasilis says, “I get new ideas and suggestions almost every day. Hosting travelers can sometimes be as rewarding as actually traveling oneself!”
This summer theme parties with Latin and Zumba nights and beach events for long romantic summer evenings are being planned at El Prado. For more information, contact Vasilis on 22840-41444, 697-032-5464 and find El Prado on facebook at www.facebook.com/elprado.paros
