Empirical Cilantro is a bold, innovative spirit set to shake up cocktail culture
Flavor, first. What happens when Noma’s former head of R&D becomes a distiller? A wildly imaginative, rule-breaking take on spirits, informed by years of experimentation with ingredients, taste profiles and genre-blurring culinary techniques at one of the world’s most lauded restaurants. Empirical, the iconoclast spirits start-up that has turned heads since its founding in 2017, is releasing a new expression, Cilantro on Oct. 1, and will soon open the doors to a sure-to-be-talked-about new craft cocktail bar, 53 A.D., in Bushwick, Brooklyn.
Empirical Cilantro opens with a sprightly, fresh citrus bouquet and a pop of garden-fresh herbaceousness, before finishing with a satisfying dry minerality and hints of fennel and green tomato. With a 38% ABV and a smooth base spirit made from French wheat, Cilantro is thoroughly unique yet designed to be approachable to cocktail fans and newcomers alike. Bursting with flavor in every drop, Cilantro shines in margaritas and sparkles with club soda.
Cilantro is the latest take on Empirical’s “uncategorizable” ethos. Like the other spirits in Empirical’s portfolio, Cilantro represents a new way of creating spirits, centered around flavors and ingredients, rather than producing liquids designed to fit into conventional styles.
“Everyone’s heard of cilantro,” Empirical founder and former Noma chef Lars Williams says. “But to look at cilantro as something that falls outside of the norms of beverage? That was so interesting.” Cilantro is a popular ingredient in many people’s kitchens, but is rarely used as the base for a cocktail. “When you taste Empirical Cilantro with soda, it just opens up in a completely beautiful way.”
Perhaps few ingredients are as famously divisive as fresh cilantro. But this represents a welcome challenge for Empirical. Taking a controversial flavor, and making it approachable through thoughtful manipulation, is core to the brand mission. “We’ve had many people that really dislike cilantro try our spirit,” Williams says. “But when they taste it, they like it. They’ll say, ‘Oh, this is actually really fresh, green and herbal’ as opposed to something soapy or metallic.”
Cilantro’s long reign as one of the world’s most polarizing flavors inspires Empirical’s newest campaign, “Mutants Welcome.” Whether someone likes the taste of cilantro or perceives it as soapy and off-putting often comes down to hereditary luck, or rather, a genetic mutation. The new marketing campaign, which comes to life via YouTube, posters and streetside stencils, nods to today’s contentious zeitgeist and opts for a cheeky message of social harmony: “Cilantro lovers are human too.”
Inspired by the dystopian allure of sci-fi apocalypse films, “Mutants Welcome” leans into today’s other hotly debated topic, artificial intelligence. The campaign uses visuals created by generative AI as well as a synthetic, stilted narrator in the first video. Quirky and knowing, “Mutants Welcome” is a siren call to cilantro lovers (and haters) all over the world. The full campaign launches Oct. 1 on YouTube; you can watch it here. (Campaign stills are linked below.)
Empirical is debuting a new production process for Cilantro. Empirical’s search for innovative and complex flavor expressions led to new partnerships and access to state-of-the-art technology. This proprietary process results in stridently fresh and nuanced flavor extractions which are blended with a light, soft French wheat spirit in the Brooklyn distillery. This method delivers a premium spirit at an accessible price point. Given how regularly this herb appears in people’s kitchens, Cilantro is poised to win over home mixologists as well as world-class bartenders.
Empirical Cilantro is the debut expression from Empirical’s new headquarters and R&D lab in Bushwick, New York. Perfected and bottled on site in Brooklyn, it’s a reflection of how the brand is excited about its new location and its communities. Located at 53 Scott Ave., Empirical’s new space also includes 53 A.D., a tasting room and cocktail bar, which opens later in October.
Empirical Cilantro retails for $35 and is available for pre-order on Empirical.co on Sept 25. It will be available in retail locations in New York, California and select states on Oct. 1, 2024 and available nationwide via Empirical.co.

Tennis Fan Favorite Maestro Dobel Tequila Returns to the US Open as “Official Tequila” Partner with New Elevated Club Experience
Creator of the World’s First Cristalino Introduces the Dobel Tequila Club: a Tournament Destination Serving Tequila Cocktails and Classic Mexican Food Pairings from Chef Enrique Olvera
Maestro Dobel® Tequila today announces its return to the US Open as the tournament’s “Official Tequila”, with an enhanced presence where tennis meets tequila at the Dobel Tequila Club.
The Dobel Tequila Club will offer fans a world class, authentic Mexican hospitality experience, serving featured tequila cocktails including the Dobel Tequila Ace Paloma and a selection of culinary offerings from one of the world’s most iconic Mexican chefs, Chef Enrique Olvera. Curated to pair perfectly with the Dobel Tequila Ace Paloma and margarita cocktails, the menu will feature Chef Olvera’s popular Suadero Taco as well as other Mexican classics including Shrimp Aguachile.
The Dobel Tequila Ace Paloma, a refreshing fan favorite crafted with Dobel Diamante Cristalino, grapefruit soda and fresh lime, returns again and this year in a new souvenir cup created by Mexican industrial design maestro Ricardo Casas. Dobel will offer variations of its Ace Paloma cocktail this year, including a low-calorie version. Dobel will also have a full service Dobel Tequila Bar at Stadium 17, which will include a lounge for fans to relax between matches and enjoy smooth tequila cocktails throughout the first week of the tournament. Fans can also enjoy Dobel’s cocktails at four Ace Paloma cocktail carts located across the US Open grounds.
“In recent years, we’ve seen U.S. consumer interest in premium tequilas increase exponentially – led by consumption of the ever-popular paloma and margarita cocktails. With consumer interest in tennis also expanding in recent years, particularly among a younger multicultural audience, it was the perfect match for Maestro Dobel to become the ‘Official Tequila’ of the US Open last year,” said Lander Otegui, SVP Marketing at Proximo Spirits. “This year at the tournament, we’re bringing the best in Mexican hospitality, cocktails and cuisine with the opening of the Dobel Tequila Club – a new elevated bar and restaurant serving up featured drinks like the Dobel Tequila Ace Paloma, and pairing them with classic Mexican dishes from Chef Enrique Olvera.”
Furthering its commitment to championing mastery, Dobel caps off another busy year in tennis with the US Open. Since 2022, the 11th generation tequila maker has supported top U.S. ATP and WTA tournaments including the Miami Open, BNP Paribas Open and the Cincinnati Open. Dobel Tequila also continues its partnership with global tennis maestros Taylor Fritz and Aryna Sabalenka. This year, both players will bring their own curated tequila cocktails to US Open grounds, the Dobel Fritzy Spicy Margarita and the Dobel Marg-Aryna, marking the first player-inspired cocktails to be served at the tournament.
In lead-up to the tournament, Dobel will act as presenting sponsor of this year’s “Flavors of the Open” ticketed food and beverage event on the evening of Thursday, August 22, and supporter of the annual USTA Foundation Gala on Monday, August 26. An additional cornerstone of the partnership between the USTA and Dobel is the placement of “Dobel Tequila” branding in on-court signage that will be visible to fans on-site and around the world.
For fans looking to “ace” their serve from home, Maestro Dobel has partnered with Cocktail Courier for a Dobel Tequila Ace Paloma Cocktail Kit, available now through September for $69.99 USD at cocktailcourier.com.
Garnish: Black Salt Rim & Dehydrated Grapefruit Slice
Method: Pour Maestro Dobel Diamante Cristalino Tequila and squeeze fresh lime into a tall glass filled with fresh ice and rimmed with black lava salt. Top with Owen’s Rio Red Grapefruit and garnish with a pink grapefruit wedge placed on the mouth of the glass, serve!
About Maestro Dobel® Tequila Maestro Dobel Tequila was born in Jalisco, Mexico in 2003 from a groundbreaking family of tequila-makers, who challenged traditional production methods to create the first modern expression of tequila.
