Each toast I offer in celebration of these incredible creations is a heartfelt offer of thanks, to the designers and crafters of such amazing experiences. Marc Duran spent years bringing his castle to life, and deserves a special toast. I have made various castle and chess themed cocktails over the years, and perhaps have exhausted the best existing ones already. Therefore I created something new this time, from an idea I have had infusing, so to speak, in the back of my mind, waiting for the right opportunity. I’ve had the name of this drink all along, and the basic components, which inform the name, but now I’ve appropriated the drink for this castle, and worked out the details.
if memory serves, you won’t forget this one
The health benefits of certain anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant rich foods is well studied. Certain diets, and specific foods, are also linked to brain health and improvements in cognitive function. Polyphenol-rich foods such as walnuts and green tea appear particularly beneficial to brain health. On the other hand, alcohol is definitely no good for health at all. So a cocktail that features green tea and walnuts should balance things out, right? One might go so far to say such a cocktail could improve one’s actual chess game, but no one might believe that. At least it’s delicious! It even looks like a cup of tea, but no one will be the wiser – except, you! Cheers.
