Venice Simplon posted this on their facebook page. Something to perhaps get in the mood for the train?
All Aboard the Orient!
Seeking a little intrigue and glamour on these warm summer nights? How about sitting back to enjoy the Venice Simplon-Orient Express’ signature cocktail, the Poirot-tini? Inspired by Agatha Christie’s famous character Hercule Poirot, this sinfully delicious cocktail was created while David Suchet, the actor who portrays the suave detective, was aboard the train in 2009. Whether or not you are on your own glam excursion this summer, the creative combination of cognac, Cointreau, and champagne might just transport your taste buds into another era. Remember, as always, to drink responsibly.
