Balam Cocktail Bar

Guatemala City, Guatemala

Balam Bar is dark and sexy, with a distinct speakeasy feel. An intimate space it is all dark walls, big mirrors, leather seating and illuminated back bar, but it's also worth noting that there's an al fresco terrace in case you prefer drinking in the great outdoors. The house cocktails are simple but effective, and made using some more esoteric Guatemalan ingredients like pepitoria (roasted and ground squash seeds), which lend the menu a real sense of place. Drinks on offer include the Chilerito, which blends white rum, lychee, lemon and elderberry liqueur and the Pink Afternoon which mixes vodka, grapefruit juice and rosemary syrup.
