1. Doppel
This is hardcore cocktail making, pure and simple. "All we do is drinks with good spirits, not all gins go well with all cocktails," Guillermo Blumenkamp told us, who, to be able to work with this freedom, is not tied to any sponsor.
"When nobody was serving aperitifs yet, we were. Vermouth wasn't being used. Spritz didn't exist in Buenos Aires. Gin wasn't consumed like it is now," he reflected. The cocktail is guaranteed, and that's what you'll get at Doppel: "You're a pilgrim who arrives and we welcome you, from the coat to everything else. When you come, you'll feel like something brushed against you. You'll have a good time. The night begins and no one knows where it ends." They don't have waiters (they're all bartenders) or a playlist. "We're in the 50 Best Discovery. We don't participate in the contest because we don't want those obligations; we're here for something else. To serve both the bourgeois and the worker that we all have inside."
Fun fact: They make the world's best old fashioned. That's what cocktail critic R. Simonson of The New York Times wrote, who has the job of traveling and trying hundreds of versions.
