Mezcal & Tequila Bar in Puerto Vallarta
We're half a block from the ocean, in a very Instagrammable space. Order artisanal Mexican spirits by the shot or the bottle, or try one of our craft cocktails, made only with Mexican spirits.

And beyond agave: Mexican whisky, vodka, gin, rum, and even Mexican sake.
Craft cocktails, all Mexican
We only mix with artisanal Mexican spirits, and we make every syrup, cordial and jam ourselves, fresh. Nothing artificial goes in.
El Sazón
Mezcal Verde, pineapple, Papu's green tomatillo and jalapeño jam, fresh lime. A favorite.
Paloma
Cascahuín blanco tequila, house grapefruit cordial and mineral water. Punchy and refreshing.
Raicillalater
Raicilla de la Sierra, pineapple, lemon and a touch of agave honey.
Iku
Vago Elote, Licor Nixta and lime bitters, stirred and served in a corn-husk smoked glass.
Margarita
Cascahuín Blanco, fresh lime and artisanal orange liqueur from the Yucatán. Our twist on the classic.
Mariachi PornStar
Tequila 30 Topes, passion fruit, Chardonnay and basil salt.
Also on the menu: beers, wine by the glass or bottle, and alcohol-free drinks like our house pineapple tepache.
Every spirit comes as a 1.5oz taster, a full pour or the bottle, so you can try three before you commit to one.
