Inspired by the Aztec legend of Mayahuel and the lightning bolt (rayo) that created agave, this Roma Norte bar builds theatrical cocktails around Mexican spirits with a storytelling ambition that matches its technique. The Soldado Medina layers tequila, chilli-infused liqueur, green herbal liqueur, Maraschino, cactus sorbet, and lime into a drink that functions as both narrative and flavor experience.
