"Nothing subtle about the explosion of color, patterns, and textures that is Bar Marilou. Yet the library-as-lounge is cheeky, tucked discreetly along the side of the Maison de la Luz hotel in the CBD. Although its bailiwick is outstanding libations, the bartenders clearly don’t need alcohol to shine. If I Ever Cease To Love, named for the anthem of Carnival, is just one example, a refreshing blend of passion fruit, ginger, lime, mint, and soda. Another is the on-trend, super savory Heroine, made with Seedlip Garden, blanc vermouth, gumbo bitters, and brine." - Clair Lorell, Beth D'Addono
