Mayan

What is Mayan?

The Mayan is a sleek, modern-style cocktail that pairs tropical brightness with a hint of complexity. The pineapple juice brings a smooth, sweet-tart base, while the reposado adds a warm, aged agave character. A touch of Galliano Espresso (a coffee liqueur) introduces deep aromatic richness and a unique finish. It’s a drink that invites contemplation rather than rapid rounds - you’ll sense the layers in each sip.

Its structure is simple yet refined, making it approachable for home bartenders while still carrying a crafted feel. Ideal for evenings when you want something distinctive and balanced - not overly sweet, but with personality.

Don't forget to see what other drinks you can make with the ingredients you already have in your bar.
