A London bar has devised a cocktail with an unusual twist, it allows the drinker to escape the city for the Scottish hills. <\/p>\n
The whisky-based \"Origin\" cocktail comes with a virtual reality headset that transports you to the distillery where the spirit is from. <\/p>\n
At 18 pounds ($23) a shot, the drink is made with 12-year-old Dalmore whisky, while the accompanying virtual reality experience aims to show guests at the bar in the One Aldwych hotel the origin of its ingredients. <\/p>\n

Drinkers get a tour of sweeping Scottish fields and babbling brooks where the cereal and water used in the whisky is sourced. <\/p>\n
\"We get a lot of people saying 'oh I have goose bumps' because it is happening in front of you,\" bar manager Pedro Paulo, who came up with the idea, told Reuters. <\/p>\n
\"When you take (the headset) off and the drink is actually right in front of you it gives people that sense of uniqueness, they feel unique,\" he added. <\/p>\n
