When you hear about a bar that has Denmark's "cocktail of the year" in 2018, you go. Located in a trendy neighborhood close to many cafes, bars and restaurants, Gensyn is a corner bar with a dark, cozy space inside. On a Friday evening around 9:30 p.m., my friend and I were lucky enough to snag an open table in the back. All other tables and bar seating were taken.
The service was fast and attentive and the menu robust. They divide the cocktails between more sweet/fruit forward and boozy. Most cocktails around just under $20 USD per glass.
My friend ordered the winning 2018 cocktail called "Walnut Brown" with roasted rye bread infused bourbon, Drambuie, Merlet Cafe and bitters. He loved it! I took a sip and even enjoyed it despite preferring sweeter drinks. My "Grapefruit Margarita" was perfect with a slight smoky taste through its sweetness. read more
