[tw-divider]The Scoop[/tw-divider]
- Amor y Amargo, which means “love and bitters” in Spanish, is a cozy East Village bar by Ravi DeRossi (Death & Co. and Mother of Pearl) that focuses almost exclusively on bitters in an unpretentious, educational way
- Mixologists make personal suggestions and encourage bold flavor choices — go for the signature Sharpie Mustache, “easy drinking yet potent with notes of leather and island spice,” or the Casualty (a smooth, chocolaty Negroni), but expect to spend around $15 a pop
- Whether you’re a bitters rookie or have a Bittermens collection in your kitchen cabinet, prepare to leave Amor y Amargo with a whole new view on complex cocktails
