There's a pinch of magic in the mixology at this award-winning cocktail bar, which is way up there with Switzerland's best. Antique furnishings, low lighting and brick vaults create a decadent, urban-chic backdrop for cocktails mixed with flair – be it an Erotica (vodka, passion fruit and champagne), a Gin Sour or a classic Negroni. Perfect date-night material.
