Neon Knight is a cocktail created in 2026 as one of the new faces of modern bar culture. This drink rethinks traditional aperitifs with contemporary flavors: The smoky depth of mezcal, the delicacy of sherry reminiscent of sea salt breeze and the vibrant fruity notes of exotic liqueurs come together.

“The night begins when you start dancing with the light.”

This cocktail takes its name from the bright lights of nightlife and the busy city rhythms. Each sip is a little discovery - smoky and spicy on the first taste, slightly sweet and aromatic on the second. The Neon Knight is not just a drink; it's a journey, a night out and an experience that sparks conversations.
