Death In The Afternoon

Best Bars in Downtown Orlando, Florida | Eater Miami

"Stepping into Death in the Afternoon feels like being transported back to the early twentieth century when drinking unfolded in dimly lit, intimate, and super-secret spaces. This historical ambiance is fitting, given the bar’s specialty: absinthe, the famously controversial spirit banned in 1912 and only made legal again in 2007. Death in the Afternoon is one of the few bars on the East Coast to specialize in the spirit, and the only one in Florida. Its entire cocktail menu revolves around the storied beverage, featuring standouts like the Sauterelle, which tastes like a delightfully boozy bowl of mint chocolate chip ice cream." - Colleen Hamilton
