Allow me to backtrack a little bit….

In (what has become) our little mission of hotel bar hopping, E & I had checked out The Four Seasons Hotel for an afternoon sidecar sip on one Sunday afternoon. Interesting as since this is the first sidecar that I have had that was served with brown/greenish tint. I mentioned its uniqueness in color to the waiter, however he took my observation the wrong way and double checked with the bartender to see if he made it correct. LOL. The waiter returned and informed us that the bartender admitted to following the recipe. LOL.

A few evenings later, we upped it a few notches by hitting up the luxurious Pudong Shangri-La Hotel. OMG -this place smells delicious!! I have never walked into a public place that smelled sooo wonderful!! Candles, flowers, whatever it was - the entire hotel was pleasantly perfumed. Anyway, we headed up to the “avant garde” Jade on 36 restaurant/bar on… you guessed it, the 36th floor… So, it wasn’t as high as I had thought it was to be. But an OK spot … view could’ve been better had the Oriental Pearl Tower been better lit….
