Xila Extra Spicy is a Mexican liqueur produced in an artisanal manner, crafted from young espadin mezcal and infused with a blend of 7 Mexican chilies, ataulfo mango, tamarind, and orange peel, sweetened with piloncillo. The profile is characterized by a restrained fruity attack, a spicy and herbaceous heart, and a distinctly spicy and persistent finish. With 20% alcohol, Xila Extra Spicy maintains a structured and defined profile, designed for cocktails, particularly in preparations where spiciness is the protagonist. Ideal for cocktails such as spicy margaritas, Paloma variations, or contemporary interpretations of classic cocktails with character. Xila is made by Flor de Luna, the first artisanal and experimental distillery in Mexico City led by women.

Martine and Didier craft their vintage Calvados domfrontais. To understand the Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée, Calvados must contain at least 30% pears. In the family business, Calvados consists of about 70% pears and 30% apples. The characteristics of Calvados during tasting: A beautiful freshness with sparkling aromas highlighted. A lively and dry character on the retro-olfaction. It will be followed by notes of spices, caramelized vanillas, honey, and hazelnut. At the end of the mouth, we will notice a long finish with many caudalies. This local product is typical of the Orne bocage, where we are fortunate to use it to transform well-ripened fruits into wonderful eaux-de-vie.
