Limantour
Mixology is all the rage at the moment in Mexico City, and this Polanco spot gets every aspect of the artisanal-cocktail trend right. The vibe is Art Deco, with elegant cane chairs, a terrazzo-topped bar, and vintage cut-crystal glassware. The bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable, and the cocktail menu skews classic, with everything from mint juleps to sidecars, along with house cocktails like the Limantour Chai (Hennessy cognac, Becherovka, sugar syrup) and the Machete (mezcal, mandarin liquor, agave).
