Charcoal cocktail at Ella Canta
The cocktail list at Ella Canta is entitled Mexico’s gifts to the world and includes a variety of sips inspired by the traditional Margarita, along with an array of innovative mezcal-based concoctions. Amongst the latter is Nahuani’s Star, a distinct black-coloured cocktail combining Nuestra Soledad Ejutla Mezcal, Domaine de Canton ginger liqueur, Suze liqueur, lemon, aloe vera, guava purée, rose syrup and activated charcoal.
