Apothecary Cocktails | Warren Bobrow

Benefiting from a rich and fascinating history, therapeutic cocktails were first created by apothecaries, precursors of our current pharmacists. They prepared plant-based remedies with alcohol to treat a wide range of ailments, from indigestion to the common cold. These drinks from the past are an endless source of inspiration for trendy bars or vintage cocktail enthusiasts, using natural ingredients.
