Located conveniently in the center of Tel Aviv, this charming restaurant waited for us with opened, professional , kind arms.
Girls night out must always involve some kind of alcoholic beverage...obvi!! Olesya, the beautiful bartender of The Local, got us totally tipsy within the first ten minutes of being seated with mouthwatering , tres strong cocktails! THE SHABO- rum , liqueur, orange juice, lemon and homemade wildberry puree. THE KISS- infused vanilla, Campari, lychee liqueur and ground sage.
Salute!
Not only do these SHABO cocktails seduce you by appearance and taste but they are fun as well.You have to take the top cocktail glasses ,pour them into the bottom glasses and mix for extra sexiness. BOOM!
Chef Ariana- Cheers with the KISS xoxo cocktails!
