Forbes: Please Don’t Tell And Etéreo, Auberge Resorts Collection, To Collaborate On Mixology Experience This July
When it comes to cocktails in New York City, Please Don’t Tell is a can’t-miss mixology destination hidden behind a phone booth in the hot dog joint Crif Dogs. This East Village speakeasy has won many awards and has stood the test of time with its intimate ambiance and great drinks. This July, guests staying at Etéreo, Auberge Resorts Collection will be able to enjoy PDT creations on the beach following the theme, Please Drink Tequila. However, this isn’t just a menu transfer from New York City to Riviera Maya. Instead, head mixologist Jeff Bell used local liquors to create a set of bespoke cocktails to be sampled from July 1 to 10.
“I wanted to take Mexican ingredients and plug them into a classic formula, and then accent it with something unique to the Etéreo location,” says Bell. A few months ago, Bell visited the property to get an overview of the ambiance and the typical schedule guests on-property would have to map out the ideal cocktail our. He also delved into their mixology program sampling local liquors and flavors. He brought back five bottles to the United States and began to experiment with them, developing them into the final recipes recently. To finalize the cocktails he will head to the property a day and a half before the program starts, to add a finishing local touch to his creations.
