"Since opening in 2011, Candelaria has catapulted to the top of many "Best" lists including a five-year streak on the World's 50 Best Bars list. While the bar staff has seen some turnover since its opening, the drinks themselves have never faltered and the team is often changing things up by playing with thematic ingredients like avocado and Mezcal. In fact, they stock a large selection of the smokey agave spirit and have a 16-page booklet, organized by taste (“bitter,” “earthy,” “funky,” etc.), devoted to the stuff. The regular cocktail carte changes every two months and recent concoctions included the “AWOL” made with gin, basil and fennel and the “Golden Chakra” featuring mezcal, chai and coconut." - Sara Lieberman
