Oddball hosts another Oddball Labs cocktail testing session where guests help sample drinks still in development.
Fig leaf tequila and salty whey are the house pantry staples, turned into cocktails that read strange on paper but land clean in the glass: a margarita made with tomatillo brine, a vesper with guava and hazelnut gin. The space has the look of a 70s lounge designed by someone raised on sci-fi paperbacks, which fits the East Village perfectly. Most drinks have a non-alcoholic twin, and walk-ins are welcome.
