Elote Twilight Dream

**Description**: Elote Twilight Dream is a complex, smoky cocktail that dances on the palate with the robust flavors of elote mezcal and Irish breakfast tea, smoothed over with the rich, velvety notes of caramel liqueur. The addition of Mr. Black coffee liqueur adds depth, while the Angostura and coffee cherry bitters bring a nuanced bitterness that complements the drink's inherent smokiness.
