24.0% SHAKE MARTINI 75ml

The XYZ is a refreshing and elegant cocktail made with white rum, Cointreau (orange liqueur), and fresh lemon juice. It balances the smoothness of white rum with the citrus brightness of orange liqueur and the crisp tartness of lemon.

With an alcohol content of around 20–22%, it’s typically served straight, offering a light yet lingering finish. The name XYZ symbolizes "everything essential," and the cocktail has been a staple of classic bar menus since the early 20th century.

Perfect for those looking for a clean, sophisticated flavor or a light pre-dinner drink.
