— Carl Nolet Jr., 11th generation, Ketel One Vodka Nolet Jr. tells PRH that this was a great year for cocktail lovers in Philadelphia. More bars and restaurants than ever before are serving great drinks and giving the customer a refined experience. We asked the 11th generation owner of Ketel One to name a few of his favorite Philly Hot Spots.
❙ Ashton Cigar Bar. “One of the premier cocktail bars in Philadelphia where you can get that enhanced experience. [It’s a] sleek, modern setting where you can enjoy a specialty craft classic cocktail and a fine cigar. The interior is made of different exotic woods that complement the distressed brick walls.”
❙ Moshulu. “A Philadelphia landmark and the world’s oldest and largest four-masted Tall Ship. It is a perfect spot for a sunset cocktail on the ship’s upper deck.”
❙ Rouge. “Overlooking Rittenhouse Square. It’s a popular Parisian spot that created the Rouge Burger, which received the accolade “Best Cheeseburger in America” by GQ Magazine. It is one of the best sidewalk cafés to enjoy some early evening cocktails with friends.”
