History

Illegal channels smoky mezcal, rum, and spice into a cocktail that feels both untamed and carefully structured. It nods to agave traditions while leaning into modern sour-style balance. The result is bold but surprisingly approachable, with smoke, sweetness, and citrus sharing the spotlight for guests who want to explore mezcal without leaving complexity behind.
