NERIO

A bold composition of the raw power of a smoky fresh Mezcal, the elegance of mythical northern Juniper, all balanced by the bouquet of bittersweet herbs from the Mediterranean. This one will keep you warm by the fireside and fill you with desire in the heat of a summer night. Desire for Love, Southern Skies and the Sea. Also, a good counterpart to the sweetness of tropical fruits and chocolate rich desserts. This is the signature Cocktail aboard the luxury yacht Nerio, named after the Old Man of the Sea from Greek mythology.
