Here’s a warming and classic cocktail, the Old Fashioned, best served in a captivating destination for you to unwind with your sweetheart to chase away the winter doldrums at Six Seven Lounge At The Edgewater Hotel in Seattle.
The Edgewater, hanging dramatically over the waters of Elliot Bay, provides a cozy destination to base your exploration of the Emerald City. From here you have easy access to Seattle’s Pike Place Market, downtown shopping, the stadiums, train station and the iconic Space Needle. The hotel’s lobby with floor to ceiling windows invites guests to sit and look out to the bay with views framed by the snow covered Olympic Mountains. Or wander from the Northwest-chic lobby into the bar for a cocktail before an absolutely fabulous lunch or dinner of local provisions, again with a drop-dead waterfront view at Six Seven Restaurant, a local favorite. 
In the lounge, an affable bartender will deftly mix up the perfect cocktail with house made syrups, infusions, herbs, candied fruit and small batch-bitters. My favorite is the Old Fashioned made with smokey barrel-aged reserve rye. Here is the recipe but you should really try it at The Edgewater ; it is even better sipped while looking at the astounding view.
