Licorería Limantour

Licorería Limantour helped launch Mexico City’s modern craft‑cocktail scene and in 2025 received the Rémy Martin Legend of the List Award, a clear sign of its influence on global cocktail culture. That accolade matters because it recognises the bar’s role in shaping techniques and tastes that other venues now copy. The bar’s enduring signature, the Margarita Al Pastor — credited to co‑founder Benjamín Padrón Novoa — uses a pre‑batched ‘taco mix’ of pineapple, serrano, cilantro and agave to deliver a startlingly consistent savoury‑spicy profile at pace. The Roma Norte address keeps service brisk: a lively downstairs bar and an upstairs seating area in an art‑deco shell, where the menu includes El Menú que nadie nunca pidió, playful takes on guilty‑pleasure cocktails. Prices sit at the upper end, so come for the craftsmanship and bold flavours rather than bargain pours.
