Experience the iconic Cypriot brandy sour in Nicosia. This cocktail, considered the unofficial national drink of Cyprus, was developed in the 1930s at the Forest Park Hotel in Plátres. According to local lore, it was created for King Farouk of Egypt as an alcoholic substitute for iced tea, though the story lacks credibility.
Today's event celebrates this unique blend of Cypriot brandy, lemon squash, and bitters. Attendees can enjoy the classic recipe, often served with a sugar rim and Maraschino cherry, using local ingredients like KEO VSOP brandy and bitter lemons. The brandy sour is a refreshing taste of Cypriot heritage.
