Supposedly the powder is supposed to mask the taste of the vodka but it doesn't do it very well so I don't know why Nik, Scott, and I kept taking them over and over again.

The balcony area is a good choice if it gets packed downstairs or if you're with a short person... One warning - it took me about 20 minutes to get my coat back - if you're going upstairs, keep it with you and put it on the balcony or one of the tables, save yourself EUR1 and 20 minutes.
