Mezcal Paloma

Cocktails carrying smoke from mezcal, peated Scotch, or a flamed element. Smoky drinks are bold and atmospheric.

Smoky

Cocktails where lemon, lime, orange, or grapefruit drive the flavor. Citrus notes add brightness, acidity, and aromatic zest to a drink.

Citrus

Cocktails finished with sparkling wine, soda, tonic, or ginger beer. Effervescence adds lift, a dry edge, and a refreshing feel.

Effervescent

Cocktails designed to cool and revive — light, bright, and often long. Refreshing drinks shine in summer and warm weather.

Refreshing

Cocktails that feel vivid and lifted on the palate, driven by fresh citrus, sparkling wine, or light spirits.
