Beverley's Bistro & Bar
Perhaps the favorite of owner Greg Katz’s mom Beverley, Bev’s Espresso Martini includes Mr. Black coffee liqueur, Licor 43, vodka, espresso, nutmeg, and orange zest. A delicate foam develops at the top of the coupe glass it’s served inside after getting a firm shake.

Apothecary
This dark and mysterious cocktail bar on Greenville Avenue has some of the most curious drinks we’ve seen.

Agricole, Brulot VSOP coffee-blended cognac, salted honey, and malted molasses cream.
