Inside Madrid Edition’s Pisco Bar—Perched Alongside the City’s Biggest Rooftop Pool | Vogue

"On the fourth-floor rooftop of the Madrid Edition, a breezy indoor-greenhouse room trimmed with Moroccan-style lanterns, climbing plants wrapped around square blackened-steel beams, and jewel-toned glass opens onto an expansive terrace and garden where guests lean on rattan stools beneath a vine-covered pergola, with Madrid’s biggest rooftop pool just beyond. Opening night was packed, with most guests at a long central bleached teak table and others at café-style counters, all eager for a relaxed tapas menu of family-style Peruvian staples—sea bass ceviche, fried papas rellenas croquettes, and ha-kao dumplings served with spicy parihuela seafood broth—and for the cocktails at the city’s first pisco bar, helmed by acclaimed Peruvian chef Diego Muñoz in his first-ever venue in Spain. Pisco—wine distilled into a pure grape spirit in an ancestral process dating to the 17th century—is the star here: think foamy pisco sours, capitán cocktails, tastings via a flight of three piscos, or pours selected from 15 labels spanning Peru’s five production regions, including La Caravedo. A place to see and be seen, the unique pisco program and the outdoor pool’s 60 sunbeds, 10 cabanas, and unmatched views make this one of summer’s most in-demand destinations." - Michaela Trimble
