With retro cocktails, the focus is deliberately on tried and tested mixed drinks with few ingredients. Retro cocktails thus represent a counter-movement to modern, health-oriented drinks, which in their way, however, can also live harmoniously side by side. While fermented drinks follow a more inward-looking and health-oriented trend, retro drinks celebrate the occasion in an extroverted way - in nostalgic remembrance of the good old days of the 50s and 60s.
Retro cocktails look away from modern mixed drinks with many ingredients and partly artificial ingredients. Rather, the cocktail world is shaped in the traditional manner with a few spirits in the retro look to revive the original and almost purist character of the old days. Mixed drinks like Boby Burns, Sidecar, Rusty Nail, but also cocktails like Grasshopper and Gibson are drunk with the new retro cocktail trend in old-fashioned but stylish surroundings. The reduced and yet genuine enjoyment of alcoholic ingredients manifests itself in retro cocktails as true classics for real connoisseurs.
While many drink trends come and go year after year, retro cocktails can be expected to be a long-lasting trend. It's not just the drink and the taste that are at the forefront of the retro movement, but the creation of a nostalgic space and occasion that conveys calm and deceleration. This is exactly where the core of modern nostalgic bar and table concepts lie, to stage retro cocktails in a dignified yet reinterpreted way. The togetherness of a tasteful pampering occasion and conscious deceleration characterize retro cocktails.
Many retro cocktail devotees long for the good old bar times: a room characterised by atmosphere and nostalgia, a room that creates moments without being continuously interrupted by smartphones and news. This is exactly where retro glasses such as martini glasses or smocking glasses provide the important ingredients to create an authentic atmosphere that guests can experience. The puristic idea of retro glasses with the stability and sociability of modern times creates a space within a space that has an atmospheric effect and gives the viewer a "zoom-out" moment. With retro cocktails, the purist and moment-oriented past is lived, loved by newcomers and bar connoisseurs alike.
Retrococktails
Cosmopolitan, Margarita or Piña Colada: It is impossible to imagine the drinks menu without some of the classics of bar history, and they are experiencing one comeback after another. Served in stylish clear glasses made of crystal glass, they have not lost their charm and enchant drinkaholics all over the world.

Barfood
Whether in the hotel or on the nightlife mile: The perfect party night begins and ends at the bar. Here, the focus is on togetherness and drinks, but high-quality bar food can also go from a supporting actor to a star of the evening. Snack plates, dip bowls and small plates in a variety of colours are ideal for presenting small snacks. From cast iron look to porcelain, everything is allowed that pleases.
Cosmopolitan
Tartly sweet and refreshing, the Cosmopolitan has lost none of its urban charm to this day. The pink eye-catcher, which is usually mixed with gin, Cointreau, fresh lemon juice and raspberry or cranberry syrup, likes clear, deep martini glasses and impresses with its radiant colour alone. Complemented by a snack served in a white porcelain bowl, it is the protagonist of the evening.
Side Car
It is a real cognac classic: The yellow-orange Side Car. Brandy, lemon juice and Cointreau combine to create an elegant sour cocktail that will not only delight connoisseurs. In the pre-chilled and with a lemon zest garnished mouth-blown Martini glass the drink comes duly to the validity. Matching snacks can be served on small porcelain plate.
Piña Colada
On warm summer evenings, it's the star at every bar: the refreshingly fruity Piña Colada. The most important ingredient: pineapple. Whether as juice or freshly pureed fruit - mixed with white rum, coconut liqueur and cream, the creamy cocktail unfolds its aroma reminiscent of a South Seas holiday. A Hurricane Glass made of clear crystal glass provides the perfect setting for this classic. Accompanying snacks come in a dark dip bowl with a cast iron look.
Old Fashioned
It is considered the forefather of all cocktails: the Old Fashioned. As the oldest cocktail in the world, it has been reinvented again and again since the 18th century. But the ingredients for the classic remain the same. Whisky, a bitter, sugar and lemon peel are used to create the legendary drink, which is decorated with a cocktail cherry as the icing on the cake. Served in a tumbler made of clear tritan glass, it belongs on every bar menu.
Margarita
Sweet, sour, salty: this extraordinary taste explosion awaits the bar guest when he orders what is probably the most underrated cocktail in the world. In a clear crystal margarita glass decorated with a salt rim, the drink mixed from tequila, fresh lime juice and Triple Sec finds its place. This New Orleans Sour has a permanent place in the heart of every connoisseur.
Grashopper
The meadow in a glass! There can only be one cocktail that comes in such striking green: the Grashopper. The sweet cream drink is a staple at any summer party and has been reinvented time and time again since the 1920s. Creme de Menthe, Creme de Cacao and cream combine to create a unique taste experience. Served in a crystal cocktail glass, the Grashopper continues to impress time and time again.
