I've corrected it. Jabi - same thing at Abu Shaker, there's a place next door which sells juice, I feel so sorry for them. Yazan - we may disagree on politics, but at least juice unites us. We can disagree in the same place at least! Katia - only Damascenes know how to make good juice, and felafel. Time to come back! And Josh, oh the Muassal does sound fairly amazing. I normally stick to mowz wa haleeb in Abu Abdu because I don't like their cocktail. I need to be more adventurous! I'll give you an update! I still remember the first time I walked up to Abu Shaker's hole in the wall. It was in the days before the glitzy cafe was open, and it was late at night - they were just about to close. We bought a bottle of cocktail and had a glass there. I had never tasted anything like it. I took a couple of bottles to London once. Syria bottled! I gave it to some people who'd never been to Syria. The looks on their faces were priceless - they said they had never tasted fruit so full of flavour. If that's not a good advert for Damascus, I don't know what is! Thanks for pointing out the Nasser date error!! I’ve corrected it.
