Sother Teague | Amor y Amargo, NYC

At Amor y Amargo, where all ten menu items are batched or prepared, Sother Teague explains that not only does this technique ensure consistency (“you’re getting soup from the same pot”) it enables a higher level of precision in a single drink. A minuscule amount of one ingredient, such as Japanese chili and lime bitters, diffused into a 750ml bottle, as in this slightly spicy Martini riff, creates an effect impossible to recreate in a single pour.
