Espresso Martini: A Classic with a Twist
For those who love their cocktails with a bit of a caffeine kick, our Espresso Martini is the perfect choice. This isn’t your standard martini—it’s a bold fusion of Absolut vanilla, vanilla syrup, licor 43, and cold brew espresso. The silky vanilla and smooth coffee notes offer an energizing contrast, creating a drink that is as rich as it is refreshing. Pair it with our dessert menu to cap off your meal with a sweet, satisfying finish.
Love Potion: The Perfect Elixir for Romance
Sip on a little magic with our Love Potion, a cocktail that blends Jefferson’s bourbon, blackberry, cinnamon, and your choice of either Barone Fini Pinot Grigio or Don Nicanor Malbec. This drink is perfect for couples looking to toast their evening in style. The richness of the bourbon paired with the fruity and spiced sangria base creates a symphony of flavors that complements the heartiness of our Mexican food, making it the perfect accompaniment for a romantic dinner at Amaya.
Smoke & Mirrors: A Mezcal Lover’s Dream
Mezcal enthusiasts, this one’s for you. The Smoke & Mirrors cocktail showcases the smoky depth of The Producer Ensemble mezcal, balanced with fernet, Ardbeg, vanilla syrup, and chocolate mole bitters. The intricate layers of smoke, vanilla sweetness, and mole bitterness create a drink that’s full-bodied and complex. Try pairing it with one of our savory dishes like the octopus ceviche or grilled shrimp, as the mezcal brings out the charred, smoky elements of the food.
Amaya Paloma: A Tropical Take on a Classic
A refreshing twist on the classic paloma, the Amaya Paloma features Espolon Blanco, banane liqueur, ginger tamarind syrup, lemon juice, and Fever Tree sparkling pink grapefruit soda. The combination of ginger and tamarind adds a spicy-sweet zing to this effervescent drink, while the pink grapefruit soda offers a light, sparkling finish. It’s the ultimate companion to our lighter seafood dishes, like our signature shrimp tacos at our Las Vegas Mexican restaurant.
Shark Bait: Dive Into Exotic Flavors
For those who crave adventure in their cocktails, the Shark Bait is a daring mix of Sonrisa Platino rum, Luxardo Maraschino, lavender syrup, grapefruit juice, lime juice, and agave syrup. Floral, fruity, and slightly tart, this drink strikes a balance between boldness and elegance. Pair it with our tuna tostadas or ceviche for a refreshing burst of citrus and floral notes that complement the fresh, bright flavors of our coastal Mexican cuisine.
Margaritas: Classic Mexican Flavors, Amaya Style
At Amaya, our margaritas are crafted with care, using the finest ingredients to elevate this iconic drink. Made with 818 tequila, our margaritas bring together flavors that will transport you to the coasts of Mexico. The Agua De Vida combines Blanco, Cointreau, passionfruit syrup, and lime juice for a tropical escape, while the Flor De La Pasion mixes St. Germain, Cointreau, and lavender syrup with blueberry puree for a floral, fruity sensation. For those who love a bit of heat, the La Llorona offers the perfect spicy kick with ancho reyes liqueur and ginger syrup.
Mocktails: Bold Flavors Without the Booze
For those who prefer to keep things alcohol-free, our mocktails are just as flavorful and exciting as our signature cocktails. The La Niña combines Almave Ambar, pineapple, orange, guava, and lime juice for a bright and tropical refresher. If you’re looking for something a little creamier, the El Niño blends Almave Blanco with pineapple juice, coconut, and strawberry for a delicious, indulgent treat.
