RASPUTIN

In the Santo Spirito district of Florence stands one of the few secret bars of the region - a certainty for the past 5 years. The evocative name of "Rasputin," a tribute to the Russian mystic, was chosen for the bar's Victorian-era style, reminiscent of 1800s lounges. Bar manager Daniele Cancellara's cocktails are the result of careful research on ingredients and waste reduction. Over one-third of the signatures is whisky-based, and that's not surprising given the over 350 labels in the bottle rack. Daniele's favorite cocktail? Martini.
