The Pulque
Cocktail Menu
Every cocktail begins with fresh-drawn pulque sourced weekly from our partner tlachiqueros in Hidalgo. From beloved classics to rare ceremonial creations — this is Mexico's ancient spirit, finally elevated.
Popular Pulque Cocktails
Our most-ordered drinks — each one a gateway into the world of pulque. Start here if you're new to Mexico's oldest fermented spirit.
Citrusy · Earthy · Spiced
Pulque Margarita
Our most-ordered cocktail. The earthiness of fresh pulque meets the brightness of lime and the kick of tequila — all rimmed with smoky Tajín for a finish that lingers.
Ingredients
Smoky · Silky · Bright
Tlachique Sour
A velvety, frothy sour built on the backbone of raw tlachique pulque. The egg white creates a silky foam that carries the smoky mezcal and bright lemon in perfect balance.
Ingredients
Fruity · Floral · Refreshing
Curado de Fresa
A traditional curado — pulque fermented with fresh strawberries — elevated with hibiscus syrup and a sparkling finish. Beloved for its vibrant color and refreshing sweetness.
Ingredients
Smoky · Bittersweet · Complex
Obsidiana Negra
Named after the volcanic glass found throughout central Mexico. Deep, smoky, and bittersweet — this cocktail channels the ancient power of the maguey plant in its darkest form.
Ingredients
Herbal · Clean · Aromatic
Tepache Verde
Garden-to-glass freshness. Pulque cured with cucumber and epazote — a sacred Mexican herb — meets the herbal complexity of Green Chartreuse. Clean, alive, and deeply aromatic.
Ingredients
Floral · Sweet · Subtly Spiced
Xochitl Rosa
Named after the Aztec goddess of flowers. Floral meets fire — the delicate rose distillate is slowly overtaken by the warmth of guajillo chili, creating a cocktail of beautiful contradiction.
Ingredients
Exotic Pulque Creations
For the adventurous palate. These cocktails push the boundaries of what pulque can become — drawing from ancient ceremony, molecular technique, and cross-cultural fusion.
Electric · Citrus-Forward · Mysteriously Layered
Cenote Profundo
Inspired by the sacred cenotes of the Yucatán. Butterfly pea flower transforms the pulque into an electric indigo — then shifts to violet when yuzu is added. A cocktail that changes before your eyes.
Ingredients
Deeply Smoky · Earthy · Theatrical
Maguey Smoke & Mirrors
Served under a glass cloche filled with rosemary smoke. When lifted tableside, the smoke escapes and the aroma transforms the entire tasting experience. A cocktail as performance.
Ingredients
Funky · Tropical · Fiery Finish
Pulque Tepache Ferment
A collision of Mexico's two most beloved fermented drinks. The double fermentation creates a complex, funky base that's balanced by the sweet-sour tamarind and the slow burn of habanero.
Ingredients
Bitter · Smoky · Sophisticated
Tlachique Negroni
A Mexican reimagining of the Italian classic. The bitterness of Campari finds an unexpected partner in aged pulque, while mezcal replaces gin for a smoky, complex depth that no Negroni has had before.
Ingredients
Rich · Coffee-Forward · Velvety
Pulque Espresso Ritual
Our answer to the espresso martini — but rooted in Oaxacan tradition. Cold brew pulque amplifies the coffee liqueur's depth, while vanilla foam and edible obsidian dust create a ritual-worthy presentation.
Ingredients
Ancient · Ceremonial · Transcendent
Agave Ancestral
Our most sacred offering. Three agave spirits — pulque, raicilla, and bacanora — each from a different Mexican state, united in a single glass. Finished with copal smoke, the same resin burned in Aztec ceremonies.
Ingredients
Non-Alcoholic Offerings
All the complexity of our fermented bar program — crafted for those who prefer zero alcohol without sacrificing depth or flavor.
Tropical · Tart · Effervescent
Tepache Virgen
All the complexity of our fermented bar program — none of the alcohol. Pineapple tepache with hibiscus and tamarind creates a layered, sophisticated drink worthy of any occasion.
Ingredients
Pure · Refreshing · Botanical
Agua de Maguey
The pure water extracted from the heart of the maguey plant before fermentation begins. Lightly sweetened with agave nectar, brightened with cucumber and mint. The origin of pulque, in a glass.
