Graveyard Fog

Description

Mezcal, with its smoky roots in Oaxaca, Mexico, is the soul of Graveyard Fog. Mixed with elderflower and lime, it balances earthy smoke with floral brightness. The fog effect recalls haunted graveyards, tied to traditions of spirits both liquid and ghostly returning during Día de los Muertos and Halloween.
