Love your blog! I love that you have different topics than just your average travel blogs. 🙂
I went to Ibiza a few years ago and the drinks were SO insanely expensive. I think we paid 22 euros for a vodka and orange juice. It wasn’t even during the summer months. We ended up buying our own alcohol and drinking befor we went out! (We we’re backpacking for 4 months so we had to save our money!)
I live in LA and the drinks can get pricey if you’re in the downtown/Hollywood area but we have some really cool lounges/bars that make mixed drinks that are unique so I think that’s worth the extra $$
