Campos De Fresa

A lush, creamy, and vibrantly fruity highball that brilliantly pairs the signature earthy smoke of mezcal with the classic indulgence of strawberries and cream. It expertly marries a custom vanilla-infused reposado mezcal with a rich, house-made strawberry agua fresca crafted from fresh berries and sweetened condensed milk. Built directly in the glass and served over ice, this decadent yet refreshing treat is elegantly finished with a simple strawberry or lime wheel garnish.
