- Fragrance shop by day and an 18-seat cocktail (and mocktail) bar by night, CASTALIA fuses the world of Sfumato perfume with an array of tastes, scents, and textures. The sensorial experience is guided by the house-made aromas, where scents like “Survival Instinct” are paired with black licorice, Reposado tequila, gentian liqueur, sweet, vermouth, and absinthe. It’s entirely an olfactory amuse-bouche in which everything from the glasses to the napkins dons a unique essence. Featherstone Moments

- Long considered to be one of the best bars in the country, THE SUGAR HOUSE is the bar that started the Detroit cocktail revolution. The Corktown haunt features 101 Prohibition-inspired drinks, including staples like the Old Fashioned or straight rye, along with eclectic offerings like liquors infused with candy-cap mushroom syrup. Prices start at $8 per drink, but it can lead to an empty wallet if you’re not careful. Sugar House

- The Admiral is first on the menu at Detroit’s BAD LUCK BAR. It costs $200 and consists only of rum. It just so happens that rum is from the British Royal Navy’s 1953 vintage supply. Bad Luck Bar, a hidden speakeasy on a nondescript alleyway just off Griswold Street, is all about the experimental. Evenings begin with an amuse-bouche—like hot gin, cinnamon, and lemon—and continue with hand-crafted potions like The Alchemist, a synergy of Reyka vodka with champagne strawberry shrub and a homemade black tea-dried fruit soda.

- It may look like an old Coney Island on a humdrum street in Mexico Town, but the tavern at FLOWERS OF VIETNAM is serving up some robust Southeast Asian flavors—along with their award-winning dishes. Beverages like Fear of the Lime, a spiced rum cocktail with pistachio coconut orgeat, or a boozy rendition of traditional Vietnamese egg coffee will quickly convince you to order up some Caramel Chicken Wings while you wait for your second glass.
