Tretter's New York bar
Not far from the city center, you can find this
proper cocktail bar made in a proper american style. I grew up in this place.
Ermm… I mean, ½ of my bartending education I've got from the head bartender of
this bar and a person I admire a lot - Josef Zelenka. I was hoping, that I will
find him working there today, but nothing ever works as I am planning.
As I got inside the bar, I am automatically checking
out, who is working today... and them BOOOOOM! ,,Hi man! It has been so, so, so
long we didn't see each other!´´ I've got greeted by my friend from one of the
bartending courses I attended 3 years ago. Honestly, I didn't even recognize him
in the first moments, as he changed the style a lot, but when I got closer – it
became clear : ,,Hey Bro! I don't even recognize you anymore! ´´ I almost
shouted as a reply. I got so happy to see him working in such a prestigious bar
which Tretter's Bar trully is. We were chatting and chatting and he said, by
the way, that he was trying to get to this position for almost 5 years. IT DOES
NOT MEAN, that he was a bad bartender, I am just trying to show you an example,
how hard it is to get here and how good you have to be, to pass and therefore
how well educated bartenders you will get, if you will decide to get a drink
here.
And I always come here for a drink and I always take
the same cocktail. It has a good reason. Regardless how many cocktails and
combinations I've tried, Pentagelli cocktail is definetelly the best, the most
original, the most interesting and absolutely M-I-N-D-B-B-L-O-W-I-N-G cocktail
of all !
Pentagelli
- Home Made Infused Strawberry Rum
- Midori
- Almond syrup
- Fresh lemon juice
- Fresh pineapple juice
- Cucumber
- Fresh mint leaves
There is no way, Iwould be able to describe the taste
of this cocktail in words. And after description of the way, how they do it,
you would not believe me, that it is flawless anyway. Every time I drink this,
I become speachless. All I can say is, that it looks beautiful, because the
straberry rum is floating on top of the cocktail. So that is a look. The Aroma?
Phew… Who does not love the smell of the strawberries?! Supported by mint and
fresh juices?! And the taste? We've been there already… If you will not try
this, you will not believe it…
Ending my 'Tour de Bars of Prague' with this cocktail
made by my friend is the best possible ending , beyond my imagination…
I cannot wait to have it again, when I will be back in
Prague.
But then I will have to go to one more bar… I could
not go there yet, because it is not open yet… But it will be fantastic, I can
assure you alreay…. How do I know that? Wait
for it…
