A popular Geneva bar has invented a cocktail in honor of the US-Russia summit. The writers of Summit Cinéma drink likened the meeting of the two presidents to an edgy film, which the whole world is watching with popcorn. Razvan Cavalu, a senior bartender at Geneva's Bottle Brothers bar, stressed that the summit is an important historic event for the city. According to him, the last such meeting was held in Geneva in 1985. To celebrate the significant event, they decided to create a cocktail. Cavalu said that in the process of creating the cocktail, the bartenders were inspired by Russian drinks: kisel (starch jelly with fruit juice), compote, and vodka - these ingredients represent the Russian side. The American side is embodied by cranberries and caramelized popcorn.The cocktail can be tasted during this week and, if it becomes popular, it will be placed on the main menu. The bartender added that the popcorn in the cocktail has a special meaning because the world looks at the negotiations in Geneva like a movie, and watching the movie is associated with this product. It would be nice if Biden or Putin walked into the bar and tried our cocktail, Cavalu concluded.
