Empirical Opens a Bushwick Bar With Noma Roots
Briefly

"The cilantro note was strong and green, like a spritz of cologne, but playful with the tequila and lemon, offering an interesting counterpoint to the aromatic chocolate liqueur, while the salinity of the black-olive brine tied all of the flavors together."
"Head bartender Giancarlo Quiroz Jesus conceptualized the recipe as a sort of dirty martini that drinks like a margarita, something where the added saltiness makes you crave another sip, calling it 'quite moreish.'"
"Lars Williams started Empirical in 2017 after eight years running Noma's research and development division, intending to make spirits with the same curiosity toward flavor creation and new technology in an industry in which history and tradition tend to dominate."
