Last October I was at The Third Room in Larnaca old town and Stasi Apostolou cocktail maestro and barista offered to make me a coffee cocktail.

I took up his kind offer.

What Stasi Apostolou created for me was incredible, passion and talent at The Third Room.

ingredients

  • mulled red wine
  • rum
  • fig cordial
  • cold brew coffee
  • dill aroma and garnish

Many thanks to our cocktail maestro Stasi Apostolou who not only created the cocktail but also the ingredients.

The Third Room

The Third Room, during the day a coffee shop, during the evening morphs into a cocktail bar. A stunning modern design where everyone made welcome, part of Roseum boutique hotel, a contemporary hotel in Larnaca old town.

The Third Room jars of concoctions brewed by Stasi Apostolou

On the bar, behind the bar, jars full of concoctions, all created by Stasi Apostolou. He not only makes the cocktails of his design, he also makes what goes in.

Look above the bar, suspended from the ceiling 60 litre wooden barrels of spirits, fed down to the bar on tap through copper pipes.

Stasi Apostolou and his brother own the coffee shop and hotel. In the mountains they have a vineyard, winery and distillery.

Cyprus is infamous for bad coffee. Larnaca the exception. A couple of years ago nada, now Larnaca has four excellent coffee shops, one of which is The Third Room. The other three, Paul’s Coffee Roasters, Koffea and Nick’s Coffee Bike.

From Larnaca Marina, take a walk along the seafront. From Larnaca Castle, take a walk further along the the coast path, retrace ones steps once reach the road, take a look in Larnaca Castle, then head to St Lazarus. Behind St Lazarus, Lazaris where stop for a yoghurt and sit outside. The Third Room, Paul’s Coffee Roasters, Koffea are nearby. Nick’s Coffee Bike around ten minutes walk. Once find one, ask, and they will happily direct to the others.
