A classic highball with a twist. Daytrip Strawberry Amaro brings bright berry and herbal depth, cutting through the caramel sweetness of Mexican Coke. A hit of lemon peel lifts it all, crisp, refreshing, and a little unexpected.

Bright, smoky, and just the right amount of sweet. Strawberry Amaro and mezcal make an unlikely pair that clicks fast, bitter herbs and ripe berry meeting a wisp of smoke. Fresh grapefruit keeps it sharp and clean, while a grapefruit twist seals the deal. (In a pinch, Ocean Spray works just fine,we’re not judging.)
