The Sour originated in the late 18th century and remains a firm staple of any good cocktail menu. Villa Kennedy’s fruity, Teutonic take on the classic pays tribute to Frankfurt’s cosmopolitan flavours and can be mixed in moments.
Ingredients (serves 1)
40ml rum
20ml amaretto
20ml lemon juice
60ml apple wine (or cider)
Ice cubes
Method:
Pour all the ingredients into a cocktail shaker and add ice cubes. Shake vigorously until well mixed.

Often, the best adventures start with a question: what would happen if you followed a different thread? A story. A flavour. A sweep of colour. Three cities offer three very different kinds of treasure — the literary footsteps of a Nobel Prize winner in Mayfair, a sweet trail through Brussels, and the underground murals rewriting Munich. Our hotels are the starting points, what you discover is entirely up to you.
Few cities have shaped Italy’s table quite like Milan. Arguably best known for its extraordinary fashion and design scene, the city’s culinary story is one less often told - though no less remarkable. It is one best read on a plate, through recipes handed down over centuries.
