Noche Negra:

A Cocktail That Embodies the Mystery of Nightfall

In the quiet intimacy of The Jasmine Bar, where each creation is a story and every sip an experience, Noche Negra takes its place as a drink of profound allure. Its essence is a tribute to the enchanting pull of the evening—a time when the world slows, shadows deepen, and indulgence takes on a new meaning. This is not just a cocktail; it is an invitation to revel in the elegance of mystery.

A Vision Born in Twilight

Juan Flores, The Jasmine Bar’s celebrated Guardian of Liquid History, drew his inspiration for Noche Negra from the duality of night: the interplay of stillness and vitality, of shadow and light. He sought to craft a drink that mirrored this duality—a creation that was simultaneously bold and smooth, daring yet refined. His muse was the allure of an evening’s quiet power, captured in every element of the glass.

The Ingredients of Intrigue

At the heart of Noche Negra lies Corazón Silver Tequila, whose bright agave notes provide a vibrant foundation. This tequila is paired with chilled espresso and Mr. Black Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur, each element adding layers of depth and a rich, velvety texture. To temper the intensity and introduce balance, demerara syrup offers a whisper of sweetness, weaving through the bitterness like a thread of light through dark fabric.

What sets Noche Negra apart is its final touch: a delicate dusting of cacao and espresso powder, applied to half the surface of the drink. This garnish is more than decoration—it is an evocation of the night itself, a visual representation of contrast and intrigue.

The Art of the Pour

The making of Noche Negra is an act of precision and artistry. Each ingredient is measured with care, shaken to awaken the flavors, and poured with intention. The result is a cocktail that arrives in the glass as dark as midnight, its surface glimmering under the soft glow of The Jasmine Bar’s lantern-lit tables. The half-moon garnish—a meeting of cacao and espresso—draws the eye, a prelude to the sensory journey within.

The Experience of Noche Negra

From the first sip, Noche Negra delivers an intricate symphony of flavors. The tequila’s brightness mingles with the dark, robust character of espresso, while the coffee liqueur’s smoothness lends an indulgent, almost creamy quality. The demerara syrup enhances the depth of the coffee without overwhelming its intensity, creating a balance that feels both exhilarating and soothing. As the flavors linger, the garnish releases subtle aromas of cacao and espresso, completing the cocktail’s sensory embrace.

A Legacy Etched in Night

Noche Negra has quickly become a signature at The Jasmine Bar, adored for its ability to transport patrons into the quiet magic of an evening. It is more than a drink—it is a moment, a mood, and a story told with every sip. For those who find themselves drawn to its depths, Noche Negra is a reminder that the night is not merely a time of rest, but a canvas for adventure, elegance, and discovery.

With its bold flavors and refined presentation, Noche Negra stands as a testament to the mastery of mixology at The Jasmine Bar. It is a creation that invites you to linger, to savor, and to experience the beauty of a well-crafted mystery, one sip at a time.
