Ask Juan what his favorite bottle behind the bar is and you’ll get a very fast answer: Italicus Bergamot Liqueur.

Like a Negroni that disappeared to the Caribbean for a few months and came back better dressed.

A collection of cocktails inspired by the first real days of spring in the city.

Florals, fresh fruit, bright citrus, and the feeling of grabbing a spot in the park when our beloved city finally thaws.
