"One of the progenitors of the city’s cocktail craze, the Courtesy still lays claim to the tippler’s haunt of choice thanks to the scholarly nerds behind the bar and the locally sourced and seasonal ingredients going into their mixers and garnishes. Its move from the downtown core to Winter Park didn’t affect the vibe any — its throwback apothecary motif and intimate layout is still a boozer’s sanctuary. And be patient — well-constructed cocktails take time and precision. Literate types will want to give good study to the nifty selection of absinthes." - Faiyaz Kara
