Xila Extra Spicy is a handcrafted Mexican liqueur made from young espadín mezcal and infused with a blend of 7 Mexican chili peppers, ataulfo mango, tamarind, and orange peel, sweetened with piloncillo. The profile is characterized by a restrained fruity attack, a spicy and herbal heart, and a distinctly spicy, lingering finish. At 20% ABV, Xila Extra Spicy maintains a structured and defined profile, crafted for cocktails, particularly in serves where spiciness takes center stage. Ideal for cocktails such as spicy margaritas, Paloma variations, or contemporary twists on bold classic cocktails. Xila is crafted by Flor de Luna, the first women-led craft and experimental distillery in Mexico City.

Characteristics: Made from a base wine (Ugni blanc), enriched through maceration with around fifteen plants and spices such as wormwood, speedwell, rose, verbena, and yellow génépi. TASTING NOTES NOSE: A generous and complex bouquet. Citrus peels dominate, supported by menthol and balsamic nuances. In the background, almond and stone fruit aromas bring an elegant sweetness. PALATE: A velvety yet lively texture. The fresh and slightly bitter flavors of alpine plants balance with the roundness of almonds and dried fruits, offering refined vibrancy. FINISH: Persistent and subtle, with echoes of bitter citrus and an herbal touch reminiscent of the mountains. An aromatic signature that lingers in memory.
Nixta Licor de Elote is a Mexican corn liqueur made from a base of tender, ancestral cacahuazintle (kaka • wha • SINT • lay) maize, grown in the high valleys and foothills of the Nevado de Toluca volcano. Nixta is produced at the Destilería y Bodega Abasolo, where we honor the Mexican culture of corn and the ancestral craft of nixtamalization—a 4,000 year old Mesoamerican cooking technique that uncovers the deepest flavors and aromas of maize.
