Desert Ember

Description: The Desert Ember is a smoky, tropical twist on a classic daiquiri, blending the earthy depth of mezcal with the sweetness of aged rum and zesty orange. Infused with a hint of smoked chili and balanced by honey and lime, this cocktail is as bold as a fiery sunset over the sands. The finish is lingering, complex, and just a touch mysterious.
