I spent the weekend in Rome, where I got to visit the peculiar cocktail bar Bum Bum di Mel, which has an orderly queuing system for cocktails. First you get in the queue to order and pay, then they give you a number and you wait with the crowd in the street, carefully watching the digital number panel displaying when your turn will come. For being Rome, this is an amazingly orderly structure. Of course the cocktails are not prepared in the order they were ordered – that would be just too organized – but you have to keep a constant eye on the display for the 15 minutes it can take to get your drink. When we finally got our plastic cups with mojitos, I wished I had ordered one of their specialities, like the daiquiris, instead. The mojito consisted of 10 cl of white rum and 5 cl ginger ale, with some mint and berries on top, and big ice cubes floating around. It did not taste bad, but it was not a mojito. Anyway, I recommend the place for the experience at the beginning of a crazy evening – you sure get your money worth.
