I know everyone is curious about the drinks in Germany. Yes, they are mostly similar to drinks you can find anywhere else in the world...with a few exceptions.
Of course we must start off with the traditional Berlin Pilsner.
And traditional Kolsch from Cologne (Koln)
Eventually we expanded from beer to wine, gin fizzes a very unique and salty pretzel stick drink that you must drink by first chewing.
These pretzel stick drinks were free so we all indulged.
Later, Kate dared to branch out and try a bigger gin drink.
And then an even bigger gin drink...
Then we all got in on the action!
Anna courageously tried the very intimidating Cookie Colada
I decided to have the Hurricane...it was on fire.
And, finally, we met our match. Yes..a drink no one dared try....
The KRAUTERTEE
If you click on the picture and look at the drink called Krautertee...you will see the following list of ingredients: "Ein aromatischer Tee mit Minze, Lemongras, Hibiskus, Orangenblattern, und Gunpowder."
This translates in English to: "Aromatic tea with mint, lemon grass, hibiscus, orange leaves, and Gunpowder.".....yes Gunpowder. While we were willing to try almost anything, we didn't drink the gunpowder.
