Apotheke Mixology Introduces Its Award-Winning Cocktail Apothecary to Miami Beach Behind an Unmarked Door on Washington Avenue at Moxy South Beach

The botanical-infused lounge brings its Original Formulas to Miami, where human connection and mixology lead

MIAMI, Oct. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Apotheke South Beach, a botanical-infused cocktail concept designed for seekers and the inquisitive mind, officially debuts on October 16 in Miami Beach's Art Deco District, behind an unmarked entrance on Washington Avenue at Moxy South Beach. The opening marks the latest chapter for Apotheke Mixology. The brand began in 2008 behind an unmarked oak door on New York City's Doyers Street. Following the original location, Apotheke Los Angeles opened in 2018, followed by Apotheke NoMad New York City in 2022. Named for the old-world apothecary and rooted in the belief that plants are medicine, Apotheke Mixology brings its Original Formulas to South Beach for the first time. More than a bar, Apotheke is a cocktail apothecary, where high-proof spirits are used to extract what's needed from botanicals, invoking the same practice that helped inspire modern medicinal mixology.

Behind an unmarked door on Washington Avenue, Apotheke South Beach is discreetly accessed from the street rather than through the hotel. Apotheke complements the property's diverse culinary lineup, including newly opened Naked Tomato by Chef Eyal Shani, a modern Israeli restaurant rooted in simplicity, seasonality, and ingredient-driven cooking, and Serena, a rooftop oasis serving Latin fusion specialties. Apotheke South Beach reveals a botanical-infused cocktail lounge built for those who prefer to explore what others may overlook. Apotheke South Beach invites guests to step off the beaten path and into a different kind of nightlife experience, one where human connection and mixology take center stage, alongside live music and surprising DJ selections that create a rhythm all their own. The result is a space designed for conversation and discovery, offering something distinctly different from the usual South Beach scene.

At the center of the experience is Apotheke South Beach's Original Formula List, a collection of cocktails built around plants and botanicals to explore flavor, extraction and feeling. Curated by Apotheke's Mixology Director, Nicolas O'Connor, the Formula List features nine all-new Original Formulas crafted exclusively for the Washington Avenue location, including Novia Del Sol, Write It Off, Dry Until Vitae, Dawn Patrol, Bait & Switch, Bilongo, Will-O'-The-Wisp, Ears to You, and Collins Cure. These exclusive offerings are complemented by rotating Historic Formulas from Apotheke's New York and Los Angeles locations.

"Apotheke doesn't just garnish with plants like an afterthought," said Nicolas O'Connor, Mixology Director at Apotheke. "We build the drink in collaboration with them. That celebration of flora and life is what we're so excited to bring to South Beach."

The Formulas are organized by the feeling they are designed to evoke, with categories including Health & Beauty, Stimulants, Painkillers, Aphrodisiacs, Euphoric Enhancers and Stress Relievers, offering something for every mood.

Health & Beauty includes Novia Del Sol, made with vodka infused with Calendula, coconut and California Orange Cordial, tamarind, turmeric, Meyer Lemon, and a splash of club soda. Painkillers include Write It Off, a blend of bourbon, Amaro Montenegro, date nectar, tamarind, matcha bitters, and candied almond, while the Stimulants feature Dawn Patrol, combining dark-aged rum, ube, dark roast coffee, condensed coconut milk, cardamom, burnt cinnamon, and a sprig of mint. For something more indulgent, Aphrodisiacs include Bilongo, featuring dark-aged rum, açai, pistachio cream, lime, goji berry, perilla, maca root, sea salt, and Dubai Chocolate Bitters. Additional categories include Euphoric Enhancers and Stress Relievers, with the full Formula List offering an extensive mix of spirits, organic produce, herbs, botanicals, and other ingredients.

Apotheke was co-founded by siblings Heather Tierney and the late Christopher Tierney. Christopher, an artist-entrepreneur, designed and conceptualized the Apotheke brand and its distinctive visual language. Apotheke South Beach is inspired by Christopher Tierney's work and carries forward the spirit, aesthetic, and immersive experience he envisioned for the brand. The venue is being completed by his longtime Apotheke partners and friends, so guests in South Beach can experience the vision he created for Apotheke.

Beyond the intricate cocktail blends, Apotheke's interiors have become an integral part of the brand's identity. Each Apotheke location is an extension of the natural world, interpreted through its unique sense of play. Apotheke Chinatown was recognized by Architectural Digest as "one of the best speakeasies in America." The Los Angeles location was named "The Most Stylish Bar" by Time Out Los Angeles and received the German Design Award for Best Interior Architecture, while Apotheke NoMad was named Americas Winner for Club & Bar Design in 2023 by the Society of British and International Interior Design (SBID).

Apotheke South Beach is designed to become a ritual, open daily from 6:30 p.m. until late, with walk-ins welcome as capacity allows. Reservation details will be announced soon.
