Raise a Toast to Bartenders With Tequila Cocktails at These NYC Bars | Eater
"There are cocktail bars, and then there are mixology temples. With two New York locations in Chinatown and NoMad (walk-in only and reservations recommended, respectively), Apotheke offers an entire atmospheric submersion even if a drop never crosses your lips. But that would be your error, because the brains behind this speakeasy literally wrote the book on restorative cocktails. You’ll find two tequila cocktails you can order with Teremana under the “stimulants” category: the Paid Vacation and the Matador. The former combines tequila with mezcal, hickory-smoked pineapple, cucumber, lime, agave, and habanero bitters, while the latter brings red pepper and cantaloupe to the mix. Overall, Apotheke approaches its drinks holistically, considering every aspect from décor to drinkware — show your reverence by wearing your Sunday best." - Brendan McGinley
