Primarily a tequila, mezcal and pisco forward beverage program, you can sip on a classic Pisco Sour or indulge in a smoky mezcal creation that captures the essence of the region. Picante, Chilcano, and Mexican Revivor are also at par to enjoy the fun spirits. Follow it up with a sweet ending indulgence in Churros, Tiramisu or Al Fagor which is truly nostalgic and leaves a soft yet delicious aftertaste that’s had to forget.
