Copper 29 Brings Cocktails With A Side Of Chemistry To Coral Gables

The new drinking den that’s gaining all the buzz in Coral Gables is nothing like the neighborhood has seen before. Called Copper 29, it serves up creative, craft cocktails in a retro-chic setting complete with a plant-filled “living” wall. Heading the bar is Eleftherios “Lef” Kraounakis, who has perfect his cocktail slinging chops at places like La Mar inside the Mandarin Oriental. Each drink is broken down on the menu by flavor profile, preparation style and the glassware used to serve it. And if you’re craving a bite (or have had one too many libations) there are items like Truffle Mac & Cheese and Meatballs on the tapas-style menu. Check out Lef making the Lost In Japan cocktail with Kai Shochu, Mastiha FOS, Coconut Matcha Powder Tea, Fennel Seed, Yuzu Juice & 24K Edible Gold Powder in the video above.
