💢We are thrilled to announce that The Manual has featured Sugar Monk’s Potter’s Field cocktail in a recent article. The story showcases Sugar Monk as a bar celebrated for its unique approach to mixology, and it puts the spotlight on the Potter’s Field—a refreshing summer cocktail that combines earthy mezcal, floral liqueurs, and cardamom.

A big thank you to and Mark Stock for the recognition!

🌿We are thrilled to announce that VinePair featured Sugar Monk, Atheras Spirits, and insights from Ektoras in a recent article about how leading bartenders globally prepare Negronis in their own kitchens. Ektoras mentions that he has been trying out a unique twist by substituting vermouth with Atheras Spirits’ fig leaf liqueur, Sykophilos, and describes his Negroni as embodying the spirit of a Mediterranean summer. We would like to extend our many thanks to both and for featuring us!

Happy World Cocktail Day 2026!
“This annual holiday marks the 220th anniversary of the first published definition of a “cocktail”. On May 13, 1806, the New York newspaper The Balance and Columbian Repository defined it as a stimulating liquor composed of spirits, sugar, water, and bitters. This iconic four-ingredient layout laid the groundwork for classics like the Old Fashioned.”
