Chic. Cocktails at Aman Venice.
I had a screenshot on my phone of Aman Venice even before Clooney got married there. I dreamt that my husband would take me there for a glass of champagne. Change of plans: I went there for a cocktail with a dear friend. We dressed up (I had my high heels with me just for that) and went there. The bell rang, the door opened, and we were in – up on the 2nd floor to enjoy a long-awaited moment. Although there is great champagne by the glass, their cocktails are amazing. Next to the traditional ones made with Martini and Campari, there are fantastic cocktails made from their infusions, liqueurs, bitters, and so much more. They are not only eye-pleasing, but tasty – very, very tasty. And with the cocktails came marcona almonds, olives, and the cihcheti of the day, and needless to say – they were lip smacking. So, yes! It is worth packing your high heels shoes in your luggage and dress up for a cocktail at Aman Hotel, definitely.
