Weekend Cocktail: Meet Unicum, The National Drink Of Hungary

Our drink master recently drank his way through Europe. Here, he visits Hungary and tries Unicum, federalist.com reports.

The federalist.com said, my wife and I arrived in Budapest a few days ago on the wings of Swiss Air, after a remarkably pleasant flight that was delayed only slightly by a mechanical issue in Zurich. Strangely, unlike on similarly-delayed regional flights in America, one isn’t treated like a potentially dangerous lunatic for requesting basic necessities such as water. This helped ease the tension considerably. It also helped that the flight attendants did not prevent anyone from using the lavatory. What might have been a horror story was actually a good chance to catch a nap or read a book, absent the usual anxieties of sitting on the tarmac.
