Guilhotina Bar has launched a new drinks menu with the Antikamnia theme, created by mixologist Spencer Amereno. But what is Antikamnia? It is a medicine that promised to be a relief for pain and fever, produced in the United States in 1890 and whose name in Greek means “against pain”. But the big difference was the promotional products such as calendars illustrated by skeletons created by the artist Louis Crusius.

The new letter features 12 signature cocktails, one for each month of the year. The drink that bears the name of the house, Antikamnia (R$ 47), represents the month of May and is made with Jardim Botânico gin, Hidromel, Tahiti lemon, flambéed drambuie with grated honey garnish. November brings Analgesic, with vodka with kinkan, bicolor mint, mint, melon and Sicilian lemon.

To follow along, the tips are the pulled pork in the miniciabatta with pickled red onion (R$ 32.00) and the taki, an octopus sandwich with red onion and cilantro vinaigrette (R$ 45.00). Guilhotina is located at Rua Costa Carvalho, 84, Pinheiros, telephone (11) 3031-0955.
