Dr. Zhivago

Zurich, Switzerland

Dr. Zhivago is a cocktail lounge on the Bärengasse, off the Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich's financial district, built around its own Swiss spirits label, Dr. Zhivago Spirits. The house range runs from vodka, yuzu vodka, gin and rum to breadwine and cherry, pear and raspberry spirits, and the signature cocktails start from them, such as the clarified Velvet Curtain with breadwine, blackberry, poppyseed and Szechuan pepper, or the Tokyo Sidecar with yuzu vodka and sake. The bar admits guests aged 21 and over and asks them to keep their phones away.
