Smoky, a mite bittersweet and with a lingering spicy ending, this one is so loved it has its own emoji-name on the internets:
Del Maguey Vida Mezcal, Aperol, Lime, Velvet Falernum, Habañero Bitters
14
Paloma Brillante
We took the classic Paloma idea and gave it the Jumbo treatment, with bubbles on top. Careful, these can go down a little too easily.
Blanco Tequila, Grapefruit, Lime, Cane Sugar, Grapefruit Bitters, Cava

Mixings for the Evening
Creative cocktails for the adventurous palate
The Tequila Pumpkin Caper
In the beginning there was just pumpkin spice. Then God rubbed pumpkin spice together and made the world and set it to going. Now, millions of years later, we humans have placed pumpkin spice atop the food pyramid, and there is much rejoicing over the return of Millita's knockout seasonal tequila spritz variation.

The Martini, our old friend and yours. Always quick with a joke, or to light up your smoke. Always well coiffed, with a rakish grin, a nod, a wink, The Martini endures.
