"Roma Norte, San Diego’s new CDMX-inspired cocktail lounge, brings serious technique to its non-alcoholic drinks, treating them with the same precision as its boozy counterparts. The standout Taco Truck is a bold, smoky creation with house-made non-alcoholic mezcal, Giffard aperitif, and pineapple-cinnamon-infused Roots Divino. It’s layered, complex, and drinks like a proper cocktail — just without the booze. The Melón Highball is just as refined, blending Martini & Rossi Floreale with clarified cantaloupe, cucumber, and elderflower tonic for something bright and refreshing. Every NA option here gets the same careful attention, using methods like nitro muddling and lacto-fermentation to create drinks that feel just as thoughtful as anything on the menu." - Kelly Bone
