El Mexicanito

A bold, adventurous cocktail that delivers waves of smoky heat balanced by tropical sweetness. Bright lime acidity cuts through the rich complexity, while subtle salinity amplifies the vibrant flavors. The harmonious interplay of fruit, smoke, and progressive spice creates a memorable, multidimensional experience that evolves with each sip. This cocktail was submitted into our 2025 Liber Games competition by Jonah Arias and is inspired by his grandfather.
