🌵🌿Join us this weekend to enjoy our delightful and slightly spicy margarita-inspired cocktail, the “Queen of the Desert.” This refreshing drink is crafted with a house-made Angelica spirit in place of tequila, as we proudly use only New York State spirits in our offerings. Distilled from foraged Angelica stems, it delivers flavor notes remarkably similar to tequila. You can find it featured on both our Happy Hour and regular menu. We would love for you to give it a try!

🌿Dive into the rich and intricate flavors of The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, a standout cocktail from our menu. Inspired by the Book of Revelation, each horseman symbolizes a distinct aspect of the end times: conquest, war, famine, and death. This captivating drink artfully blends four unique Atheras Amari , fresh lemon juice, and hints of patchouli, with each Amaro embodying a different horseman: Atheras Palatine, Akhenaten, Allemanda, and Atheras Cardoon.

The result is a beautifully balanced concoction that marries bitterness, tartness, earthiness, and a touch of sweetness. Treat yourself to one this weekend!

💢A heartfelt thank you to and for featuring Bitter Monk and our Bergamot Vesper Martini among the 50 best martinis in NYC in their latest newsletter
Crafted with our signature Bergamot Liqueur as the star ingredient, Robert notes: “While you might not think of Bitter Monk in Industry City as a martini destination, it’s the modern take on the classic Vesper that draws you in. No other bar in the city boasts such a variety of delightful Vesper options, often enhanced by their unique Atheras spirits.”
We invite you to join us from Wednesday to Sunday to enjoy a Bergamot Vesper or explore other enticing variations like the Fig Leaf, Lemongrass, or Vetiver Vesper! Cheers!
