SIGNATURE DRINKS

Sobremesa

More than a drink, Sobremesa is an invitation to slow down. Named after the Spanish tradition of lingering around the table in conversation, this cocktail combines aged rum, creamy horchata de chufa, Pedro Ximénez sherry and banana liqueur for a warm, comforting finish that's made to be shared.

Brasa

Inspired by the glowing embers of a traditional South American asado, where the fire becomes the heart of gathering, conversation and celebration, Brasa captures the warmth of those final embers slow, aromatic and inviting. Prepared tableside in a copper pot and finished with flame, this cocktail brings together Scotch whisky, orchard fruit, toasted nuts and warming spice in a modern expression of fire and hospitality.

Jardín Secreto

Inspired by the hidden courtyard gardens of old Spain, Jardín Secreto is a bright and aromatic highball that layers crisp gin with delicate elderflower, fresh cucumber, and a whisper of absinthe. The result is cool, herbal, and refreshing, with a subtle anise finish that lingers like a secret only the garden knows.

El Diablo

A darker interpretation of the classic Latin tequila serve, El Diablo brings together reposadotequila, blackberry, fresh lime and warming ginger with a subtle winter spice. Bold yetbalanced, it moves between sweet fruit, citrus brightness and a slow-building heat that givesthe cocktail its devilish name.

Kiwi Kiss

Fresh, playful, and silky, Kiwi Kiss takes inspiration from South American pisco sours while introducing a modern tropical twist. Pisco is shaken with fresh kiwi, lime, elderflower and a soft foam finish to create a cocktail that is vibrant, fragrant and delicately tart, a drink that feels as effortless as its name suggests.

Margarita

Bright, crisp and effortlessly refreshing, our Margarita brings together tequila, fresh lime and orange liqueur with a lightly seasoned rim for the perfect balance of citrus, salt and smooth agave warmth. Clean, lively and endlessly drinkable.
