Valencia's cocktail scene leans on atmospheric old bars in the Ciutat Vella as much as on modern mixing. Cafe de las Horas on Calle Conde de Almodovar is famed for its Agua de Valencia, the local cava and orange juice cocktail, and Bar Negrito on Plaza del Negrito is a long standing meeting spot in the old town. For a more contemporary approach, Destilados on Calle Padre Tosca and The Doctor Cocktail Lab on Calle Maestro Aguilar push the technique forward.
