Bar Spotlight Series: In this series, we highlight the best bars across the world offering incredible non alcoholic drinks on their menu.
Looking for a bar with an exclusively non alcoholic menu? If you're in New York City, make your way to the Hekate Café & Elixir Lounge in East Village. It's the city's first ever NA bar and was named America's #1 Sober Bar by Timeout.com.
All patrons are under a no-booze understanding, so there is no awkwardly navigating the social pressure of drinking, a typical hurdle even in places that offer non alcoholic drinks. Here, it’s simply agreed upon that everybody wants to have a good time — sans the booze. The menu is littered with classic cocktails like the Negroni, Whiskey Sour, and Old Fashioned along with their own creative concoctions.
The team over at Hekate were generous enough to lend us one of their best selling cocktails on offer: the non alcoholic Amaretto Sour. If you are in the area, a mad dash to Hekate would be ideal; but if not, then feel free to make this one at home.
Non alcoholic Amaretto Sour ingredients you'll need:
- 2 oz Lyre's Amaretti
- 2 oz Everleaf Mountain
- 1.5 oz fresh Lemon Juice
- 1.5 oz Simple Syrup
How do you make a non alcoholic Amaretto Sour?
- Throw everything into a shaker with a large chunk of ice.
- Shake vigorously.
