Provecho visited a new restaurant and cocktail bar located in Ravine looking for delicious and creative cocktail ideas to celebrate this New Year 2023. It is called Eme, like the consonant, and her name is born from the words that derive from her and are linked to her concept: myth, mystery, dawn, delicacy.

“Eme was born from the idea of ​​opening a restaurant in one of the most bohemian neighborhoods of Lima. I got together with a good friend of mine, chef Alexander Reyes, and we combined the kitchen and the bar. Eme is a contemporary cuisine restaurant with local products where we work a lot on fresh products and seasonal ingredients linked to the good cocktails that go hand in hand with me. It is a gastronomic place where you can eat and drink different things at a good cost and have unforgettable experiences”, explains Gerson Tamara, Eme’s partner.

To give us ideas for different and festive cocktails, Tamara and the bartenders Piero Elías and Jhonatan Salazar, prepared 4 cocktails between bitter and sweet thinking of the different types of audiences and palates. At the same time, they are easy drinks to make at home: “We have worked on Bitter and Sexy, which is an aperitif cocktail with a bit of coffee, rum and vermouth for people looking for flavors like bitter chocolate. Then we have something fresher with grapes for those who like mimosas or Bellini. We have another punch-type cocktail with cinnamon, mistela and egg yolk. They are different flavors for different profiles.”
