"A creative East Village cocktail spot known for reinventing milk punch and savory cocktails: the salted plum and tamarind milk punch swaps brandy for sugarcane-based charanda and smoky ayuuk, and blends plum and tamarind syrup, floral lojana tea, lemon, and milk before hours of resting, multiple strains, and a finishing pinch of salt to yield a light vermillion, nearly crystal-clear drink; the bar also leans into savory with offerings like a Roasted Corn Sour featuring smoky-sweet corn whiskey and a dusting of charred corn. Owner Ignacio “Nacho” Jimenez treats the milk punch as a versatile canvas—“It’s a very complex cocktail,” he says—letting individual ingredients shine without competing." - BySam Stone
