About the Ayuuk Batanga

A delicious evolution of the classic Batanga, this cocktail draws its depth and smoky complexity from Empirical Ayuuk, crafted with Pasilla Mixe chili. Originating in 1950s Mexico, the traditional cola, lime, and salt combination is elevated by savory and earthy notes, making this drink rich, layered, and refreshing.
