The bar has an incredibly thoughtful NA menu designed by Shintaro Eleazar Tozzo-Okuda, with five different options that follow a theme, morning to evening. The Amber Sky is a perfectly balanced and delicate cocktail that's basically a sour, served up, made with a non-alcoholic bitter aperitif, grapefruit, lemon and beautiful notes of rose. I also appreciate that it uses aquafaba instead of egg whites to create texture and frothiness.
I would argue it's the best N/A version of a negroni in the city. It's simple on paper, but extremely balanced and complex. It's a marriage of the citrus and herbal notes from the Seedlip Grove, combined with the herbal, citrus and vanilla notes from the Lyre's Rosso. But the true piece of the puzzle is The Pathfinder Hemp and Root Bitter, which carries the cola nut flavors upfront as well as those bitter notes of gentian and wormwood. It's a knockout.
I was really impressed with Hekate's in the East Village, which is the first fully alcohol-free bar in the city.
