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.
