Instructions

The Aztec Elixir is a bold and complex craft cocktail that embodies the spirit of Mexico with a blend of traditional ingredients and contemporary flair. It features a smoky mezcal base, accentuated by the sweetness of agave nectar, the tartness of tamarind, and a hint of heat from ancho chile liqueur. A splash of citrus balances the flavors, while a dusting of cacao nibs and a delicate garnish of edible flowers pay homage to ancient Aztec culture. Served in a chilled clay cup to invoke a sense of tradition and to keep the drink cool, this cocktail is both a visual and a flavorful journey.
