"Last year, bartender Alexandre D’Agostino decided to retire from a nearly two-decade career behind the bar to create his own brand of bottled cocktails. His pre-made versions of the Negroni, Boulevardier, and Old Fashioned were so successful that he had no choice but to open a new bar to sell and serve them. At the tiny, hidden Aphotek, D’Agostino prepares cocktails like the classic Sazerac and Martinezto to order with whatever he has at hand. With just five bar stools, the intimate space feels more like drinking at a friend’s home than partying in public." - Rafael Tonon
