We had a nice visit to Hexenbar in Zermatt Switzerland, a witch-themed pub with a pretty nice selection of cocktails and spirits. Mrs. Mai Tai went with the Espresso Martini that was really great, and we enjoyed the witches displayed throughout the cozy venue.
The menu is provided as a book of spells, which means that the spell could be good or it could be bad. I saw they had a Mai Tai on the menu: “3 Rumsorten, Cointreau, Amaretto, Maraschino, Orangen- und Ananassaft”. 3 rums? Several liqueurs? Sounds great.
Now this is really where I should have busted out a translate app because I recognized a lot of stuff and incorrectly assumed “Orangen” was a liqueur – which actually didn’t make any sense given Cointreau already being listed. Instead these last two items were orange and pineapple juice.
So, it was one of those kind of Mai Tais. Actually not too bad in this format and the juice did taste fresh. But not the spell I was looking for.
We tried to return to Hexenbar a second night but found it to be so packed that we decided to find a different place for drinks. Nonetheless, Hexenbar was really nice and is recommended if you’re ever in Zermatt.
