Cheers and Congratulations from Agustin and Gema |
The "Red Lion Bar" on the junction of Calle Gerona and Calle Filipinas presented Benidorm Mayor Agustin Navarro and Deputy Mayor Gema Amor with a taste of the speciality today, named "Royal Baby"!
Cocktail ingredients - all very healthy! |
The idea was the brainwave of the manager at the Red Lion, Alfie. He said that so many Brits come into the bar and there had been much excitement surrounding the anticipated birth prior to the arrival and great celebrations when it was announced. As tribute he set about experimenting to create a red, white and blue cocktail and came up with the "Royal Baby".
Formalities first... |
The Mayor Agustin, Deputy Gema and members of the council as well as Yolanda, Director of the Benidorm Tourist Board all arrived at 11.30am for a photo call and interviews with members of the press. They then got to taste the special cocktail and gave a short congratulatory speech on behalf of the town of Benidorm to the Royal couple.
The cocktail will be available free of charge to all customers of the Red Lion whilst stocks last and manager Alfie looks forward to welcoming all the Brits who are either on holiday here or residents in this fabulous place.... so hurry before it runs out!
Manager Alfie, me, Agustin, Gema and owner of bar Alberto |
