Apotheke’s Bar Collection features signature drinks from three renowned bars — Attaboy, Maybe Sammy, and the NOMAD.

Attaboy’s candle is inspired by its signature Penicillin cocktail described as “reminiscent of a woodsmoke-laced autumn breeze.” The scent is described as “notes of bergamot, lemon blossom, bitter orange, cognac, bourbon, smoked woods, musk, and vanilla.”

Maybe Sammy’s candle takes inspiration from its espresso martini, which, according to the brand, “features warm notes of vanilla, vodka, espresso, cedarwood, vetiver, and musk.”

And the NOMAD’s candle is inspired by its signature cocktail ‘Nod to Nothing’ which is described as featuring "rich notes of bergamot, almond, thyme, green leaves, grey tea, rose, chamomile, vanilla, and musk.”

Each candle is made with a soy wax blend and is made in the USA. The Bar Collection is available online on the Apotheke website.
