The Goods from Havana

Vancouver, BC | This drink is named after the birthplace of its feature spirit, Sombra Mezcal — it is made in the Sierra region of Santiago, Oaxaca and this gives it its unique spicy and fruity notes. These flavours are enhanced by the poached pear and citrus, and complemented by the sweetness of the lillet and almond orgeat. A wonderfully balanced cocktail.
