"It’s probably going to be love at first sight for anyone who steps inside this gorgeous speakeasy in Mexico City’s Colonia Juárez. The art deco space boasts stunning copper details and a glamorous Prohibition atmosphere, but it’s what happens behind the bar that will confirm the feelings are true. Helmed by renowned Dutch bartender Eric Van Beek, the staff pour drinks that are as sophisticated as they are fun. Take the Mexi-Thai, made with tequila, lime, coconut, and a few beautiful drops of basil oil – proof that the menu at Handshake is guided by three pillars: flavour, aesthetics, and innovation. Spirit geeks will be thrilled to delve into the bar’s impressive collection of vintage bottles, found by its owners over the years in the UK, Italy, and the US. With treasures such as 50-year-old whiskies and a 70-year-old amaro, it opens up all sorts of new possibilities: how about a Negroni prepared with a 50-year-old Campari?..."

"With sleek 1920s decorations in a hidden, speakeasy-inspired space, Handshake offers a cocktail menu by award-winning Dutch bartender Eric Van Beek. Known for drinks like a clarified piña colada, along with takes on modern classics like the pornstar martini, the bar won the top spot in North America on the 50 Best Bars list in 2024. The basement, where a cocktail lab produces syrups, clarified juices, and other beverage magic, also seats guests, and you should jump at the opportunity to drink down there if you get the chance. As of late, reservations are challenging, so plan ahead with a reservation."

"Meilleur bar au monde 2024 selon la liste the World’s Best Bars 2024. C'est une histoire en deux parties dans cet établissement branché de Mexico, niché dans le quartier de Colonia Juárez, qui a été désigné meilleur bar d'Amérique du Nord en 2024. Inspiré par l'époque de la Prohibition, passez les rideaux de velours pour vous rendre au rez-de-chaussée, où l'espace intime pour 32 personnes arbore une esthétique noir et or et des vibrations Gatsby. Dans le bar du sous-sol, ouvert en 2023, c'est l'esprit et l'énergie mexicains à l'état pur qui vous attendent. À première vue, la carte des boissons est minimaliste, mais comme le barman en chef Eric Van Beek utilise des techniques culinaires avancées pour la préparation, chaque boisson est plus complexe qu'il n'y paraît, nécessitant souvent 48 heures pour être élaborée du début à la fin et présentant généralement des textures inattendues. Au cœur du bar, l'équipe expérimente quotidiennement dans un laboratoire dont le responsable est Yiyi Aparicio. Commandez le Martini à la figue, la première concoction de Van Beek pour le bar, ou essayez une boisson populaire de la carte actuelle, le Salt N Pepper, un highball de mezcal frais et épicé avec des fraises et des poivrons verts. Le bar produit également son propre bitter, Di Battista, du nom de l'un de ses copropriétaires."

"Disappointing. Ok cocktails but not amazing. It smelled like bathroom products. In addition, they started cleaning and making us feel uncomfortable and unwanted before the closing time. After telling them it was bothering us they just ignored us and continued."
