La Mezkhalo

La MezKahlo is a vibrant, floral cocktail created in partnership with Las MezGals as a tribute to Frida Kahlo's artistic spirit, showcasing the earthy depth of La Tierra de Acre Cenizo Mezcal. It builds a bright, tart base by combining 2 oz of Cenizo mezcal, 1 oz of homemade hibiscus-cilantro simple syrup, and 1 oz of fresh lime juice in a shaker with ice. Shaken vigorously and strained into a glass over fresh ice, the crimson liquid is topped with bubbly Topo Chico and finished with a dash of spicy ginger bitters. Garnish with edible flowers for an inspiring, beautifully aromatic drink that makes the senses bloom.

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz Cenizo

  • 1 oz Hibiscus Cilantro simple syrup*

  • 1 oz lime juice

  • Dash of ginger bitters (we use Infuse Bitters)

  • Topo Chico

Instructions:

  • Combine first 3 ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake well and strain into a glass over fresh ice. Top with Topo Chico. Finish with a dash of ginger bitters. Add edible flowers for garnish. Sip for inspiration and watch the world around you bloom.

  • Hibiscus Simple Syrup: Bring 2 cups of water and equal parts sugar to a boil in a pan. Remove from heat and add 1 cup of dried hibiscus flowers and a bunch of cilantro. Let steep for 15 minutes. Strain out the flowers and cilantro. Let cool before using.
