This First Friday, sip into surrealism ✨Introducing Alquimia Gris, a cocktail inspired by La Creación de las Aves by Remedios Varo, the Mexican surrealist known for weaving autobiography, travel, exile, and quiet magic into her work.
Varo often painted figures that mirrored herself, exploring themes of creation, transformation, and inner worlds shaped by movement and displacement. Her art feels like a journey—intimate, mysterious, and deeply imaginative—and Alquimia Gris captures that same spirit.
Made with tequila, Earl Grey honey syrup, dry vermouth, fresh lemon juice, and expressed orange, this drink is layered, thoughtful, and a little otherworldly.
Join us at South this First Friday.🍸 Come taste the art. Let the magic linger.
