The secret of a successful marriage could all be down to where and how you propose. An increasing number of Brits are taking their partners abroad in order to provide the ultimate surroundings for a surprise proposal and Valentie’s Day is apparently a popular date to pop the question...
One romantic person decided to share the moment with others, and whilst staying at the Palm Beach Hotel & Bungalows in Larnaka, Cyprus, arranged for the question to be written on the blackboard outside the trendy new bar.In fact the head barman, who bore no resemblance to Tom Cruise, suggested his ‘Lover’s Secret’ cocktail as a stat to the evening. In a mixing glass combine
- 3 cl Vodka
- 2 cl Rum
- 2 cl Pisang Ambon
- 2 cl Kiwi liqueur
- 1 cl Lime Cordial
- Top with tropical Fruit juice
- Add a dash of Grenadine
Garnish with a slice of pineapple, kiwi and cocktail cherry. Serve in a cocktail glass for 2 persons.
Moral of this story - putting some thought and imagination into your proposal and whisking your loved one off to an idyllic destination could be just the thing to get your marriage off to a fantastic start. It will certainly provide a lasting memory for the couple and a great story to tell family and friends in years to come.
Other locations chosen by clients staying at the Palm Beach Hotel & Bungalows to pop the question include:
· the jacuzzi by the outdoor pool overlooking the Mediterranean sea
· walking along Palm Tree Promenade in Laranaka’s town centre under the stars and a clear full moon
· whilst visiting Angeloktisti at the nearby Kiti village west of Larnaka. This small, but very significant stone build church has been given its name, meaning the church built by the Angels!
