Pick a Cocktail, Get a City

Your drink order says more about your holiday personality than any personality test ever could.

So sit back, pick your fave cocktail and get ready to book that trip the second you’re done reading.

Piña Colada   —   San Juan

Tropical, flirty & slightly irresponsible.

WHERE TO GO

·   Old San Juan — colourful buildings, cobbled streets, ocean views and plenty of places to stop for something cold.

·   Castillo San Felipe del Morro — go for the dramatic sea views and sunset.

·   Santurce — street art, music, food and bars when you’re ready to stay out late.

WHAT TO DO

Spend the day wandering Old San Juan, eating mofongo and drinking something rum-heavy. Head to El Morro for sunset, then move to Santurce for dinner, drinks and music.

WHY THE VIBE

San Juan is basically a Piña Colada in city form: warm, colourful, tropical and guaranteed to turn “one drink” into a night out.

Margarita   —   Larnaca

Sharp, sunny & effortlessly cool.

WHERE TO GO

·   Finikoudes — palm-lined seafront, beach and the perfect place for a long lunch.

·   Larnaca Old Town — small streets, local restaurants and plenty of halloumi.

·   Larnaca Salt Lake — go for a slower afternoon away from the beach.

WHAT TO DO

Walk the seafront, swim, eat grilled fish and halloumi with far too much lemon, then settle into a terrace with a Margarita at golden hour.

WHY THE VIBE

Larnaca has uncomplicated summer energy: blue water, good food, sunshine and absolutely no reason to rush.

Aperol Spritz   —   Cartagena

Golden-hour energy with no intention of going home early.

WHERE TO GO

·   The Old Town — colourful streets, balconies and beautiful architecture.

·   Getsemaní — street art, food, bars and people-watching.

·   Rooftop bars — essential for sunset.

WHAT TO DO

Spend the afternoon wandering the Old Town, stop for seafood and little plates, then head to Getsemaní as the city starts to come alive. Finish on a rooftop with an Aperol Spritz.

WHY THE VIBE

Cartagena is made for slow lunches, warm nights and drinks that somehow keep appearing in front of you.

Hugo Spritz   —   Nice

Effortlessly pretty.

WHERE TO GO

·   Promenade des Anglais — morning walks and sea views.

·   Vieux Nice — markets, cafés, narrow streets and socca.

·   Castle Hill — go for the panoramic view over the city and Mediterranean.

WHAT TO DO

Start with coffee and a walk along the waterfront, explore Vieux Nice, then spend the afternoon eating, drinking and doing very little. Golden hour belongs on a terrace.

WHY THE VIBE

Nice is the cocktail equivalent of a perfect linen dress: light, elegant and never trying too hard.

Mojito   —   Kotor

Fun, spontaneous & slightly chaotic.

WHERE TO GO

·   Kotor Old Town — medieval streets, tiny bars and restaurants tucked around corners.

·   Kotor Fortress — climb for the views if you’re feeling ambitious.

·   Bay of Kotor — swim, take a boat or simply sit by the water.

WHAT TO DO

Explore the old town in the afternoon, cool off in the bay, then settle in for grilled seafood, local cheese and drinks. Once the bars fill up, follow the night wherever it goes.

WHY THE VIBE

Kotor gives you scenery by day and stories by night. Exactly what you want from a Mojito holiday.

Espresso Martini   —   Zurich

Polished by day. Problematic by midnight.

WHERE TO GO

·   Old Town — beautiful streets, cafés and architecture.

·   Lake Zurich — walk the waterfront or settle somewhere for a long lunch.

·   The city’s cocktail bars — where the Espresso Martini era begins.

WHAT TO DO

Spend the day walking, shopping and drinking extremely good coffee. Go back to the hotel to change — obviously — then head out for dinner and cocktails.

WHY THE VIBE

Zurich has the glossy, expensive-looking energy of an Espresso Martini: sophisticated, sleek and far more fun after dark.

Cosmopolitan   —   New York

Main character. Obviously.

WHERE TO GO

·   SoHo — shopping, cafés and the obligatory street-style photos.

·   West Village — restaurants, bars and beautiful streets to wander.

·   Central Park — because you need at least one wholesome moment.

WHAT TO DO

Coffee, shopping, walking, lunch, more shopping. Go back to the hotel and change, then head downtown for dinner and cocktails before ending the night with pizza.

WHY THE VIBE

The Cosmo is pink, iconic and impossible to ignore. New York is exactly the same.

Strawberry Daiquiri   —   Dubrovnik

Pretty, sweet & secretly feral.

WHERE TO GO

·   Dubrovnik Old Town — wander the stone streets early before the heat kicks in.

·   City Walls — the essential views over the Adriatic.

·   The Adriatic coast — spend the afternoon swimming somewhere impossibly blue.

WHAT TO DO

Walk the walls in the morning, spend the afternoon in the sea, then find a restaurant overlooking the water for seafood and drinks as the sun goes down.

WHY THE VIBE

Dubrovnik is dramatic in exactly the right way: beautiful old stone, turquoise water and plenty of potential for questionable decisions after dark.

Bloody Mary   —   Amsterdam

Brunch first. Plans later.

WHERE TO GO

·   The Canal Ring — wander, people-watch and take the scenic route everywhere.

·   Jordaan — pretty streets, independent shops and relaxed bars.

·   Albert Cuyp Market — ideal for a very unhurried afternoon.

WHAT TO DO

Start with a late brunch, wander the canals, browse a market and stop for coffee whenever you feel like it. By evening, switch to bitterballen, fries and somewhere with good music.

WHY THE VIBE

Amsterdam rewards people who don’t over-plan. Exactly like ordering a Bloody Mary at noon and deciding the rest of the day can figure itself out.

Mai Tai   —   Honolulu

Beach babe with expensive taste.

WHERE TO GO

·   Waikīkī — beach, swimming and sunset drinks.

·   Diamond Head — a picturesque hike enjoyed by all.

·   North Shore — head out for a slower, more scenic day away from the city.

WHAT TO DO

Swim in the morning, eat poke and fresh pineapple for lunch, then spend the afternoon doing absolutely nothing. Finish with a Mai Tai as the sun goes down.

WHY THE VIBE

Palm trees, warm water, tropical fruit and cocktails that look like a holiday mood board. Mai Tai energy, exactly.

Long Island Iced Tea   —   Bangkok

Chaotic, spontaneous & absolutely not going to bed early.

WHERE TO GO

·   Old Town — temples, markets and street food.

·   Chinatown — neon, food stalls and late-night energy.

·   Sukhumvit — nightlife, restaurants and bars.

WHAT TO DO

Eat your way through the city, stop for mango sticky rice, find a rooftop at sunset and then let the evening get progressively less organised.

WHY THE VIBE

Bangkok is too energetic for a strict itinerary. The best plan is usually no plan — which is exactly what happens after a Long Island Iced Tea.

Amaretto Sour   —   Antalya

Sweetheart with a sharp edge.

WHERE TO GO

·   Kaleiçi — Antalya’s atmospheric old town.

·   Turquoise Coast — swim, sunbathe and get on the water.

·   Düden Waterfalls — an easy break from the beach.

·   Old Harbour — ideal for dinner as the sun goes down.

WHAT TO DO

Spend the afternoon swimming, explore Kaleiçi, then sit down to a table covered in mezze, grilled meats, warm bread and something cold to drink.

WHY THE VIBE

Antalya gives you the perfect Amaretto Sour balance: soft and pretty at first, with just enough edge underneath.

Irish Coffee   —   Cork

Cosy, social & impossible to leave early.

WHERE TO GO

·   English Market — start hungry.

·   Cork city centre — cafés, pubs and independent shops.

·   The River Lee — wander along the water.

WHAT TO DO

Eat your way through the English Market, wander the city and find a pub for seafood chowder, soda bread and a few drinks. Stay for the music.

WHY THE VIBE

Cork feels warm, funny and unpretentious. It’s the destination for people who would rather have a great pub story than a perfect beach photo.

Screwdriver   —   Rio de Janeiro

Sunshine in human form.

WHERE TO GO

·   Ipanema — beach, fresh juice and people-watching.

·   Sugarloaf Mountain — go for the views.

·   Santa Teresa — colourful streets, restaurants and nightlife.

WHAT TO DO

Spend the day between the beach and the juice bars, eat fresh fruit and seafood, then head up Sugarloaf for sunset before finding somewhere for dinner and music.

WHY THE VIBE

The Screwdriver doesn’t overcomplicate things. Neither does Rio: sun, beach, music, mountains and something cold in your hand.

Sangria   —   Milan

Fashion girl on holiday.

WHERE TO GO

·   Brera — galleries, boutiques, cafés and beautiful streets.

·   Navigli — canals, aperitivo and evening drinks.

·   Quadrilatero della Moda — shopping if your suitcase has room.

WHAT TO DO

Start with coffee and the Duomo, wander through Brera, shop until you’re hungry, then settle into aperitivo around Navigli before dinner.

WHY THE VIBE

Milan is stylish without being overly serious. Sangria is the same: fruity, social and best enjoyed when the afternoon turns into evening.

Negroni   —   Łódź

Cool, creative & absolutely not obvious.

WHERE TO GO

·   Piotrkowska Street — restaurants, bars and the city’s main social strip.

·   OFF Piotrkowska — creative spaces, food and nightlife.

·   Manufaktura — industrial architecture, shops and restaurants.

·   EC1 — culture, design and striking post-industrial architecture.

WHAT TO DO

Explore Łódź’s industrial architecture and creative spaces during the day, then spend the evening hunting down small bars and restaurants rather than following the obvious tourist route.

WHY THE VIBE

You don’t order a Negroni because you want the obvious choice. Łódź rewards exactly the same instinct.

Old Fashioned   —   Belgrade

Old-school cool with a late-night streak.

WHERE TO GO

·   Belgrade Fortress — views across the Sava and Danube.

·   Skadarlija — traditional food, music and evening atmosphere.

·   Savamala — bars and nightlife by the river.

WHAT TO DO

Explore the fortress, wander the old town and take your time over lunch. In the evening, settle in for grilled meats and local food before moving on to a bar.

WHY THE VIBE

Belgrade has the same confident, understated energy as an Old Fashioned: no gimmicks, just good ingredients and a very good night.

Sex on the Beach   —   Miami

Flirty, flashy & here for a good time.

WHERE TO GO

·   South Beach — beach, Art Deco and people-watching.

·   Little Havana — Cuban food, coffee and music.

·   Miami Beach — because you came here for the pool and ocean.

WHAT TO DO

Beach first. Pool second. Long lunch somewhere outside. Get dressed up for dinner, then head to South Beach or Wynwood for drinks and dancing.

WHY THE VIBE

The cocktail is basically a 2000s holiday in a glass. Miami is the same: bright, colourful, slightly excessive and extremely fun.

Godfather   —   Tromsø

Luxury meets Arctic adventure.

WHERE TO GO

·   Tromsø city centre — restaurants, bars and cosy cafés.

·   Fjellheisen — panoramic views over the city and fjords.

·   The surrounding wilderness — dog sledding, snow and Northern Lights tours.

WHAT TO DO

Spend the day outside, hiking or chasing the Northern Lights depending on the season. Come back, put on your biggest coat and find somewhere cosy for dinner and a strong drink.

WHY THE VIBE

The Godfather is rich, warm and slightly mysterious. Tromsø swaps velvet hotel bars for snow-covered landscapes, but somehow the mood still works.

Hot Toddy   —   Reykjavík

Cosy, cool & slightly chaotic.

WHERE TO GO

·   Sky Lagoon — geothermal bathing with dramatic surroundings.

·   The Golden Circle — waterfalls, geysers and volcanic landscapes.

·   South Coast — for black-sand beaches and waterfalls.

WHAT TO DO

Spend your days exploring Iceland’s landscapes, then soak in geothermal water before heading back into Reykjavík for dinner, coffee and something warm to drink.

WHY THE VIBE

Reykjavík gives you the best of both worlds: dramatic adventure outside, cosy bar energy inside. Basically a Hot Toddy as a destination.
