A cocktail that captures the colors and flavors of a sunset in the mezcal world capital, enhanced by the smoky and balanced character of Espadín Casa Xamu.

This drink is a visual and sensory tribute to sunsets in Matatlán, where the sun melts into agave fields and the sky turns shades of orange, pink, and gold. The natural sweetness of pineapple and orange, along with the subtle drama of grenadine, blend with Espadín mezcal to create an enveloping and nostalgic drink. It is an invitation to stop time and toast to what remains.
