9. Standard Wormwood Distillery
Standard Wormwood Distillery’s spirits contain a once-banned ingredient! For more than a decade, the team perfected its distilling process using wormwood, an ingredient traditionally used in absinthe. Standard farms its own wormwood in upstate New York’s Orange County. The ingredient adds complexity and bitterness to their spirits, giving a taste that’s familiar but with a bit of a twist. At the bar that adjoins the distillery, every ingredient that goes into the cocktails is made by Standard. You can enjoy beverages while peeking into the distillery or sitting in the outside courtyard.
