In recent weeks, you have probably heard the term social distancing everywhere. It’s about the physical distance that we should all maintain in order to contain the spread of the virus. Already a hundred years ago, when the Spanish flu was circulating, people were called upon to keep their distance. Also, in our hotels there are different measures, which you have to consider and we explain in the following.
Is a cup of coffee in the afternoon enough for you or are you not responsive at all before the first sip in the morning? No matter what type of coffee you are, our partner hotels have the right beans for you. And they always…

Th drink originated in the United States. In the 1920s, soda bars were all the rage, and soda jerks would mix drinks fresh with soda water, milk, ice cream, or egg, depending on the customer’s preference.
Today, cream soda is usually a sweet, carbonated lemonade with vanilla flavoring (though it doesn’t contain milk or cream). In the U.S., it’s often golden brown, but in Japan, there are also pink and green varieties flavored with cotton candy or melon.
In German-speaking countries, cream soda is not a standard supermarket beverage. Instead, it is often only available as an imported product in U.S./U.K. or Asian sections. (Note: Mass-produced brands like A&W (U.S.) and Barr (U.K.) typically contain artificial flavors, colors, and corn syrup.
You’ll have the smallest ecological footprint if you use cream soda syrups that you carbonate or mix with sparkling water yourself.)

Hand-pluck the mint leaves and add them to the lime juice along with ice cubes. Then, shake or stir the mixture vigorously.
