Balance is everything. ⚖️✨

Especially when it comes to the Mango Tree. This cocktail perfectly balances smoke, heat, and sweetness with mezcal, mango-honey-habanero, lime, and chipotle cacao bitters—all while doing a balancing act of its own in our favorite kinetic glass.

Come see it in action this week.
