Spotlight on Mexico City: Absinthe & More at Maison Artemisia

With the ever-growing nightlife options in the Roma neighborhood, deciding on where to go out for a drink can prove to be rather difficult. But Maison Artemisia stands only two years after opening.

This cozy space offers a sensual experience with vintage French decoration à la “Belle Epoque,” maddening cocktails, and a je ne sais quoi that attracts the most interesting people in the city.

The house’s specialty is absinthe, and they have imported the original drinks, materials, and techniques to prepare the most intriguing cocktails. Not to worry, if this European drink is too strong for your taste, they also create amazing concoctions with gin, rum and vodka.

Be ready to be surprised by a live piano set inbetween modern beats. In case you need a quick break from the cocktails, head downstairs to the restaurant and try their Mediterranean cuisine.
