Innovative craft cocktails with molecular gastronomy & tech
"Described as the fancy, experimental minibar concept from a well-known chef, noted among the high-end destinations in town." - Eater Staff
"There’s something dreamlike about the setting at José Andrés’s Barmini, which is outfitted in striking white with wild accents like a cactus couch. Reservations and a deposit are required to access the lengthy menu featuring more than 100 classic and experimental cocktails. There’s the option to choose a flight. Part of the fun is watching bartenders use cutting-edge technology and general wizardry to craft drinks right in front of patrons. Some change color, others arrive still smoking, and cotton candy may very well be an ingredient. A carved-out apple filled with bourbon is also a possibility. Small snacks that appeal to gourmands are also available." - Tierney Plumb

"José Andrés’ elevated cocktail bar’s time-traveling fall cocktail flight features a hot rum and brown butter drink that relies on sobacha tea from neighboring minibar to provide a toasted barley flavor to the 1600s-inspired cocktail. The 1930s style Al Pastor Margarita gets its smooth texture and pork aroma from iberico jamon trimmings leftover from the Bazaar, which is infused into tequila." - Claudia Rosenbaum
"She also visited José Andrés’s cocktail bar Barmini during the 'Barefoot in Washington, D.C.' special." - Hannah Yasharoff
