We hit the island capital's best bars with the celebrated French mixologist and absinthe devotee.&nbsp;

<a href="http://bar1805ibiza.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bar 1805 Ibiza </a>is the brainchild of visionary cocktail artisan Charles Vexenat, an avant-garde Frenchman with an Ibicenco heart. His bohemian Sa Penya speakeasy is named in honour of Henri-Louis Pernod, who launched the mythical green liquor&rsquo;s first recognisable brand, Pernod Fils, in 1805. Charles learnt his trade as an apprentice to some of the world&rsquo;s most highly regarded barmen and has received numerous industry awards during his career. He is a pioneer of Ibiza Town&rsquo;s underground cocktail scene and takes L&rsquo;OFFICIEL IBIZA on a late-night tour of his favourite haunts and their top tipples.

Green Beast at Bar 1805.
Climb two flights up the stone stairs behind the Croissant Show to find the bar that opens for 180.5 days only. Order the Green Beast, my signature creation that blends French Absinthe, fresh lime, sugar and cucumber. A very refreshing cocktail best enjoyed at sunset. If you&rsquo;re hungry, our moules frites are legendary.

High Tides at Paradise Lost
Head down a few steps to carry on the evening at best rum parlour in town. <a href="https://www.paradiselostibiza.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paradise Lost</a> is where the pirates of the island hang out. Order Jimmy&rsquo;s signature twist on a Rum Sour with coconut wash rum, lemongrass, soft spice syrup and lime juice.

Homemade hierbas at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/boodiouibiza/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Boodiou</a>
All on board for a pick-me-up chez les Boodiou boys with their home-made hierbas; a sweet infusion of hand-picked herbs and spices blended by Toni Coma. Buy a full bottle to take away &ndash; the recipe is a closely guarded secret.

Algo Mas Que Amigos at <a href="https://instagram.com/bulinibiza?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=">Bul&iacute;n</a>
To close the night; the team at bijou drinking den Bul&iacute;n have created a well-crafted cocktail list. My favourite is Algo Mas Que Amigos, inspired by the classic G&amp;T with kaffir lime and bergamot-infused gin, homemade basil syrup and red peppercorn tonic.

Michelada at <a href="https://instagram.com/chidas_bar.cantina?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=">Chidas Bar and Cantina.</a>
And if you hit all the above in one night, find the best hangover killer at hip taco outlet Chidas, with their home brewed Michelada. Full of spices, herbs, and savoury citrus notes, this spicy beer will lift you up like nothing happened the night before.
