Cartagena Bar Alquímico Is Three Stories of Cocktail Magic
"Alquímico is set inside of an ornate old mansion that reflects the neighborhood’s historic architecture, with two indoor levels and a third rooftop floor. Art Deco details, a grand double-sided staircase on the first floor, a balcony on the second, and vintage accents like crown moldings create a sense of grandiosity as soon as you step inside. Alquímico, deemed the best bar in South America by the World's 50 Best Bars, offers a creative menu — a different one for every floor — making it one of the coolest cocktail experiences. Floor one features unique cocktails, including the Té Caribeño. The second level is dedicated to classic cocktails with a unique spin, such as the Clear Espresso Martini and the Ayu or House Highball. The third floor, Terraza, offers tiki-inspired drinks like the Mandarino, perfect for sipping in the hot Cartagena air. Alquímico showcases Colombia’s biodiversity and indigenous ingredients, with many organic ingredients supplied by a farm owned by co-owner Jean Trinh." - Merlyn Miller
