Best Cocktails in Barcelona
625 When in Barcelona, a tasting tour of the city’s best cocktails is a must. From Copacabana at Mr. White Cocktail Bar to Wild Wild Breakfast at Dry Martini, it’s guaranteed you will find unmatched boozy drinks in the city’s menu.
Here’s your essential guide to the best cocktails in Barcelona.
Wild Wild Breakfast at Dry Martini
Lovers of top-notch quality bourbon, this bad boy is for you. With a harmonious blend of refreshing citrus and smoky whiskey, Wild Wild Breakfast might not be suitable for the first meal of the day – but it definitely is the definition of the breakfast of the champs.
This Barcelona cocktail brings together orange, absinthe, Martini Rosso vermouth, Grand Marnier yellow liqueur, Maker’s Mark bourbon and citrus foam.
Opened in 1978 under the auspices of maestro Pedro Carbonell (who still holds the reins), Dry Martini is more of a mixology institution rather than a bar.
This place is so classy you can picture a tuxedoed James Bond sipping his masterfully-made Martini – and that alone speaks volumes about the people who pass through the bar’s doors.
Martini Reserva Rubino at Bocca di Bonifacio
Merging them seamlessly is no easy feat. But Bocca di Bonifacio’s reiteration of the classic Negroni does it like it’s its job. Martini Rubino, artisan vermouth, and botanical extracts team up to give a twist to the traditionally-bitter cocktail.
Bocca di Bonifacio’s mission is to bring quintessential Italian mixology to Spain’s sun-soaked grounds.
Through its rustic decor and Italian menu, this artisanal bar is a pro at transporting its guests to a Rome watering hole. This is one of the reasons why locals and tourists marked the bar as the go-to place for post-work drinking.
Berry White at Numero Nueve
Berry White might not be everyone’s favourite, but its foamy layering deserves a spot on your social media feed.
If the cocktail’s aesthetics haven’t convinced you yet, maybe the combination of lemongrass, vodka, lemon, raspberry and egg white will curb your sugar cravings.
Did someone just say quirky? Because Numero Nueve has been summoned.
Nestled in the city’s heart, this watering hole features a jaw-dropping selection of cocktails. Bold and rustic, Numero Nueve doesn’t fall short when it comes to decor either. Mosaic floors, cobblestone walls and wacky bar stools call for one thing – a hippie crowd (and a few cocktails).
Mrs. Potts and Little Chip at The Alchemix
When you are a cocktail aficionado on the outside and a Disney movie lover on the inside, there is only one boozy concoction that will satisfy both your taste buds and soul.
Bringing the Beauty and the Beast-y vibes, Mrs. Potts and Little Chip is a cocktail made of tea, rosewater, lychee and hibiscus.
Best thing about it? It is served in a teacup and a smoking teapot. The taste isn’t sugary – it’s bittersweet perfection.
Bringing mixology to an adulation level is what makes a cocktail unforgettable – and The Alchemix seems to know that best. Instead of focusing on an a la carte cocktail menu, the bar plays with jaw-dropping elements, such as foam, smoke and glazes.
Groups of thirsty tourists chinking glasses are not an uncommon sight at The Alchemix. But so aren’t locals celebrating their eternal love for boozy drinks with another glass.
Tuber Negroni at Dr. Stravinsky
A sheer explosion of crisp flavors, the Tuber Negroni is your average Campari cocktail with a twist.
With black truffle Mezcal Montelobos, vermouth, Campari and Licor D’Avet, this boozy drink sweeps you off your feet.
As one of Barcelona’s mixology temples, Dr. Stravinsky opens a new world of drinking experiences through its vintage-loving decor and in-house ingredients.
Behind its deep-red doors, both locals and tourists relish in everything that Dr. Stravinsky has to offer.
Chilcano at Hemingway Cocktail Bar
Brace yourself for the ultimate bitter killer, Chilcano.
Mixing tequila, Blanco, elderflower, Martini Floreale, rosemary, grapefruit tonic and egg white, this boozy concoction finds the midway between bitter and floral.
Well-appointed and cozy, Barcelona’s Hemingway Cocktail Bar is a preferred spot for solo drinkers and couples due to its intimate environment.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise since the speakeasy-style Hemingway Cocktail Bar has a soft spot for everything gin-infused. In other words, whoever is a gin aficionado should tick this Barcelona bar off their list.
Orange Blossom Sour at La Whiskeria
Earthy bourbon, Oloroso sherry, fresh lemon, citrusy syrup and bitters – doesn’t that sound like the type of wish you’d ask the Genie for?
Good thing that you don’t have to rub the lamp – just take a sip of the Orange Blossom Sour cocktail. Its guardian, La Whiskeria, is an art deco bar oozing with timeless elegance and a nod to American jazz.
But La Whiskeria’s decor is one of many things that make guests return.
At the end of the day, this watering hole has an innovative take on whisky-based cocktails. Otherwise we can’t explain the 250 types of whiskey nestled on the bar’s shelves.
As you might imagine, everyone who passes through the bar’s doors is a whiskey enthusiast.
Copacabana at Mr. White Cocktail Bar
Okay, we got it. The sight of a beautifully-layered Barcelona cocktail won’t make your jaw drop. But would you feel the same about the infallible Cachaca, fernet, tonka fava, lime and apple combo?
We thought that too – Copacabana is bound to become your post-work boozy obsession.
As the place to be for gin and whiskey enthusiasts, Mr. White is a point of reference for Barcelonian cocktail experiences.
Uber-trendy and futuristic, this watering hole is both eye candy and soul food. Maybe this is one of the reasons why it is a beloved spot among both tourists and locals.
Tiki’s Sake at Clubhaus
When in Barcelona, artisan cocktails are the first thing to tick off your list. The multicultural Tiki’s Sake is a good starting point.
We say multicultural because it meshes Tiki origins and Asian flavors together through its blend of Santa Teresa Rum, green tea sake, Rubino Martini, Orgeat, pineapple and passion fruit Lassi.
The only place you can sip on it is ClubHaus, AKA the Barcelonian bar where art, eatery and mixology come together in an electric aesthetic.
While during day it can be the perfect place for an afternoon kombucha while cleaning your email list, the watering hole morphs into a boisterous hotspot when the night settles in.
Seattle at Bobby’s Free
Have you ever thought about adding berries to your coffee? Now it’s your chance to dive into this off-the-wall combo and make it boozy with this Barcelona cocktail. The cheeky Seattle is all about blackberries, raspberry balsamic, coffee foam, and sweet Porto wine.
Although Bobby’s Free looks like a quotidian barbershop from the outside, its speakeasy walls are home to one of Barcelona’s most creative cocktail lists.
With a unique selection of gin and tonics, this bad boy never underdelivers when it comes to mixology – on the contrary, it exceeds your expectations.
Trumpets of Death at Marlowe Bar
Channeling your inner dark side, Trumpets of Death is made of kefir, aged Zapiain, trumpets of mort, and a sweet-flavored wine called Kina San Clemente.
Considering its intimate and sober vibe, it comes as no surprise that this watering hole’s name was inspired by a detective.
Philip Marlowe might be just a fictional character, but he found another home in the bar’s undeniable elegance. Although this is a go-to spot for locals, it is also scattered with unwieldy tourism – so expect both Barcelonians and internationals to clink their Martini glasses.
