Our cocktail was born at La Tizateria in Oaxaca, a place where the flavors, colors, and aromas mix together to create special remedies for the soul. 


This cocktail is made up of natural syrup, egg whites, and lemon and contains vitamin C and artisan mezcal that reflects the richness of Oaxacan culture and tradition. 


Mezcal, which is often referred to as “a drink of the gods,” makes this special mezcal sour cocktail, a spiritual drink.
