"You will inevitably drink more than two cocktails at this Mexican-American bar on 1st and 1st. That’s OK, the party version of yourself will fit right in with the rest of the crowd, who all seem to be celebrating something. The drinks are all a little unexpected and go down easy. Yes, there’s a margarita, but it’s creamy and made with huitlacoche. And there’s a martini, but it’s pleasantly sour from green mango. Squeeze in a birria grilled cheese to soak up the alcohol, and end your night with an orange-pink salted plum milk punch—it happens to match the fluorescent sunset lighting." - bryan kim, kenny yang, neha talreja, will hartman, sonal shah
"From some of the same people behind Katana Kitten, Superbueno takes a Mexican-American approach to the food and cocktails. There’s a margarita—except it’s creamy and made with huitlacoche—and a martini that’s slightly sour from green mango. You will quickly drink too much, which is when you should turn to the menu. Try the fish tostada, and the birria grilled cheese." - willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah
"This Mexican cocktail bar is run by a former employee of Ghost Donkey, a popular bar in the East Village that closed during the pandemic. The bar stays open until 2 a.m. or later every night with a rowdy crowd that chases mezcal shots with beef consommé. Cocktails, like a green mango martini and a mole Negroni, start at around $20. Make a reservation." - Eater Staff

"While it might not technically rehydrate you, Superbueno’s smoky, salty, pineapple smoothie-like Adobada Bam Bam is an exceptionally thirst-quenching drink. Spiked with mezcal, falernum, and adobada spices it definitely feels like you’re replacing electrolytes with every sip, as you glow under the neon lights and luchador masks of this high-energy East Village bar." - will hartman, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick
