Welcome to Calavida Cantina

Where flavors and lively souls collide!

Step beyond the veil of the ordinary and into Calavida Cantina, where every sip and bite is a spirited celebration of life after bland.

Spirits: Our spirit infusions are aged to perfection, kissed by oak, and finished with a flash of Mexican soul. Whether you prefer your mezcal smoky, your tequila crystal-clear, or your craft cocktails ablaze with fresh-pressed citrus, the glass in your hand is a toast to the after-party.
Beer: From sun-bright lagers to our darker brews, our small-batch brews rise from the fermenter with attitude. Each pour is brewed on-site, carbonated by volcanic ambition, and served ice-cold beneath flickering sugar-skull chandeliers.
Cantina: Pair those pours with shareable botanas, sizzling birria tacos, and crave-worthy cantina classics that crackle with chile heat and garden-fresh herbs. One bite and you’ll swear the flavors have been summoned straight from the other side.

Have a Drink

Life’s Short. Drink Something Legendary.

Sazerac

Strong, smooth, and soaked in history. Rye whiskey stirred with simple syrup and bitters, finished with a cherry garnish. A no-nonsense classic that sips like a ritual. Old school charm with a hard edge—because legends never go out of style.

Aztec Old Fashioned

Ancient soul. Modern fire. This bold cocktail blends bourbon with cocoa liqueur, simple syrup, and bitters, finished with a cherry garnish. Dark, velvety, and just the right amount of dangerous. Where chocolate meets char. A sip of old-world royalty with a new-world edge.

Spanish 75

A sparkling sip with a Spanish soul. Gin, citrus, and simple syrup topped with bubbly wine and garnished with a fresh lime. It's crisp, elegant, and built for celebration. Light on its feet, bold in spirit. The fiesta starts with the first pop.

Devil’s Island

Five spirits. One island. No mercy. Vodka, gin, tequila, and orange liqueur crash together with fresh citrus and a splash of cola—served over ice with a lime garnish. It’s tasty, bold, and just sweet enough to fool you.

Cuba Libre

Simple, bold, and born for good times. Rum, citrus, and Coke over ice with a fresh lime garnish—because some legends don’t need reinventing. Bright, breezy, and free at heart.

Espresso Martini

Dark, smooth, and dangerously awake. Vodka meets fresh espresso and vanilla syrup in this bold blend of buzz and booze. Topped with espresso beans for a touch of class—and a promise of mischief. Burning the midnight oil never tasted so good.

Dirty Martini

Classy with a wicked streak. Vodka, dry vermouth, and a generous splash of olive juice come together for a cocktail that’s as bold as it is briny. Served ice-cold with a spear of olives. Salty, smooth, and oh so dirty.

Mezcal Old Fashioned

A timeless rebel with a smoky soul. This bold take on the classic stirs mezcal with orange liqueur, simple syrup, and bitters, garnished with lime and cherry for a fiery twist on tradition. It’s smooth, smoldering, and unapologetically unforgettable. Old soul. New fire. An Old Fashioned never looked so good.

Poloma

Lively, luminous, and easy to love. The Poloma blends tequila with fresh citrus, grapefruit, and a kiss of simple syrup for balance—topped with a lime garnish that seals the deal. It’s tart, smooth, and endlessly crushable. Bold like tequila, soft like sunset. A true Calavida classic.

Mezcal Motodor

Fuel for the fearless. This high-octane cocktail blends smoky mezcal with orange liqueur, bright citrus, and a splash of pineapple for a bold, tropical punch. Finished with a lime garnish, it’s smoky, juicy, and built to ride. Starts with fire, finishes with flair. The road to flavor just got dangerous.

Spirit of the Night

Tequila and blue curaçao collide with fresh citrus in this glowing, twilight-colored cocktail. It’s bold, smooth, and just sweet enough to haunt you. Finished with a cherry garnish, it's the kind of spirit that lingers long after the last sip.

Fallen Angel

Don’t let the glow fool you—this angel’s up to no good. A radiant mix of orange juice and orange soda spiked with your choice of rum, vodka, or tequila. It’s bright, fizzy, and just sweet enough to get you into trouble.

Calavida Rita

Tequila-forward and unapologetically fresh. Shaken dirty with bright citrus, poured over ice, and finished with a salted rim and fresh lime. No fuss. All flavor.

Marigold

Bright, bold, and a little wild—just like you. The Marigold blooms with your choice of vodka or tequila, shaken dirty with mango, peach, or guava, and crowned with a sweet candy garnish. Juicy. Vibrant. Unexpected. Crisp as a sunlit sip at golden hour. Sweet as a stolen kiss. Dirty just the way you like it.

Mi Maria Bloody Mary

Bold, briny, and built to wake the dead. Our Bloody Mary is loaded with house-made mix, fresh citrus, savory spice, and a healthy pour of vodka—topped with all the fixings you’d expect (and maybe a few you wouldn’t). Crisp as celery straight from the garden, spicy as gossip at Sunday brunch, and briny as a...

Dia de Los Hazy IPA

Glowing like sunrise juice with a soft, opaque straw-to-mango hue, this unfiltered IPA pours a pillowy snow-white head. Bursting aromas of ripe pineapple, peach candy, and orange peel swirl from the glass, chased by a grassy hint of fresh-cracked hop cones. On the palate it’s plush and almost creamy—oats and wheat lend a cloud-like body—while...

Calavida Dunkel

Auburn-brown with ruby flashes when held to the light, this classic Bavarian lager pours a velvety tan head that lingers just long enough to invite the first sip. Aromas of freshly baked rye bread, toasted malt, and a hint of cocoa drift from the glass. The palate follows with layers of caramel, crusty brown bread,...

Mexi Lager

Crisp and sun-bright with a pale-gold hue, this lager pours beneath a lively white head that fades into a lacy ring on the glass. Flaked maize lightens the body, letting soft notes of sweet corn and crackers glide over the palate before a snap of herbal, low-bitterness hops cleanses each sip. Cold-fermented for purity and...
