We're mixing things up with this classic gin cocktail. Instead of gin, we're adding mezcal. It adds a smoky flavor that blends magically with the sweet and bitter flavors in the cocktail.

The Old Fashioned is a cocktail staple and has stayed the most consistent since its origin compared to other long-standing cocktails. The only slight change we've seen over the past 200 years or so is the popular switch from rye whiskey to bourbon. And now - Mezcal.

Indulge in a decadent twist on a classic with this Chocolate Margarita—a rich, sultry blend of smooth tequila, velvety chocolate liqueur, and a hint of citrus. Perfect for dessert lovers and cocktail adventurers alike, this drink balances the bold warmth of agave with the deep, bittersweet notes of cocoa.

This one is a real fire breather. Sweet and smokey flavors engross your palate and your tongue is left with the heat from the chile vodka. Lucky for you the citrus saves the day with a cool touch.
