Meet Negroni en Barro đŸș

Not your typical Negroni, and that's exactly what Hector had in mind.

Inspired by his Mexican roots and a desire to put his own spin on a classic, Hector created a mezcal-based Negroni that rests in mole manchamanteles for 24 hours before making its home in a clay barrel.

The result? Layers of fruit, subtle spice, and an earthy character that continues to develop with every passing day. No two pours are quite the same.

Get to know Hector and the story behind his creation.

Meet Las Raíces. 🍾

For Franky, this cocktail begins with raicilla and the generations of Mexican tradition behind it. That history became the inspiration for Las Raíces — a drink that looks to the past while playing with two familiar classics: the Margarita and the Last Word.

Mango-infused raicilla is layered with chile and spiced liqueurs, then balanced with malic acid and milk clarified for a smooth, refreshing finish.

Savory, spiced and a little unexpected, with a story that starts long before the first sip.

Now that you’ve met, come say hi.

Meet Fool’s Rush In. đŸ„ƒ

Created by our Director of Beverage, Westin, this one's a little Mexican wh***ey Coke. A little Batanga. A little Mexico meets America.

Made with Mexican wh***ey, Mexican amaro, salt and SangrĂ­a Señorial, then served with a side of spiced nuts. It’s an easy-drinking highball with a few more tricks up its sleeve.

Now that you’ve met, come say hi.

Meet "Corazon de Melon" !

Inspired by the agua de melĂłn Aurora grew up drinking at the Tampico Refresqueria in her neighborhood, this one brings a little nostalgia to the Bar Buena bar. Mexican rum, charanda, fresh melon cordial and lime come together for something bright, refreshing and made for the Texas sun.

Aurora’s take on a childhood favorite. Salud.

Meet "Pantera"!

For the first highlight from our new menu, we’re starting with one that means a little more. Hector created Pantera in honor of his late jiu-jitsu coach, taking inspiration from a drink his coach used to make at home and putting his own spin on it with passion fruit, guanábana, morita chile and ginger foam.

A drink with a story behind it. Come meet Pantera at Bar Buena.đŸ€Ž
