Mace Is An Awesome Unassuming Cocktail Laboratory
[tw-divider]The Scoop[/tw-divider]
- Mace is the kind of cocktail parlor where you want to pull up a chair and stay a while; the interior is cozy and describing the staff as ‘friendly’ is a polite understatement
- Highlights of the cocktail menu include the eponymous “Mace,” a quirky mixture of aperol, aquavit, beet juice, orange acid, Thai coconut cordial, and something called ‘mace mist.’ The menu itself is spice-driven, with each drink centered around a specific spice, like nutmeg, clove, and saffron
- The bar is run by Frenchman Nico de Soto, who came to prominence by crafting cocktails at the Experimental Cocktail Club at its locations in Paris, London, and New York
