Toddy Tapper Cologne
Cocktails in Agnes Quarter
Toddy Tapper is a cocktail bar I first read about in Hidden Cologne, an English-language city guide published by Stadtrevue. Since Hidden Cologne recommends small gems, I had to try Toddy Tapper.
Toddy Tapper was opened by Indika Silva from Sri Lanka. In Sri Lanka - as well as in India and South East Asia - the juice of the coconut flower is fermented to make a drink called toddy, hence the name of the bar. When the toddy is distilled, it is called arrack, which is used in many of Toddy Tapper's cocktails. They also use exotic spices, which makes their cocktails quite extraordinary.
The staff at Toddy Tapper are friendly, give good advice and there is a real sense of hospitality: when you sit down, you get salty snacks and a glass of water with your cocktail. Toddy Tapper's interior is warm, with an elegant wooden bar. There is also a small terrace outside. Toddy Tapper is located in the Agnes Quarter, not far from the lively jazz club King Georg.

Τhe "royal" Büdchen
Köski in Cologne is a real gem. Charlotte has taken this Büdchen, or kiosk, and made it into something else. I want to buy something every time I visit.
