Special cocktail time! – Unique cocktails inspired by Hungarian inventions

Apart from its special culinary flavours, Hungary can also be tasted in the form of unique cocktails inspired by Hungarian inventions.

Located on the bank of the Danube, Corso Bar & Terrace offers a unique cocktail selection inspired by world-famous Hungarian inventions such as the Rubik’s Cube, Safety Match or Vitamin C.

Irresistible aromas are combined with an exclusive design that results in an unforgettable experience.

Hologram

The cocktail’s fancy name was inspired by the invention of the Hungarian Gábor Dénes who created the first hologram picture 70 years ago. As a result of his ingenuity, three-dimensional objects can be visualised out of thin air. Many years later, the brilliant idea impressed some imaginative bartenders who created the cocktail speciality called Hologram, which is a mixture of Agárdi Gin, Pimento Liqueur, homemade grenadine syrup and fresh lemon juice. Besides its unforgettable taste, the cocktail is visualised in a special way by the help of tricky mirrors and a little fume.

Safety Match

The multicolour cocktail was designed based on the invention of the Hungarian chemist, János Irinyi. The key components – which are Bailey’s, Coffee Liqueur and Grand Marnier – are visibly reflected in the colour scheme of the tasteful alcoholic beverage. Representing the power of fire, Safety Match cocktail is served in a spectacular way. Its consumers can witness how a bartender sets the coffee-based speciality on fire before tasting.

Soda Water

Based on the appearance of the cocktail with a creamy texture, it might be surprising that its main ingredient is soda water itself – also known as carbonated water – invented by Hungarian physicist Ányos Jedlik. The differentiating feature of the bubbly water is the iconic soda bottle from which it is served. Remaining faithful to the special procedure, bartenders create a mixture of Tanqueray Gin, Lime and Lemon Juice, Cream, Egg white and Soda water.
