Top choice in Zona Rosa & Reforma
This is an underground bar, literally. Pass the hidden entrance into the moody interior, and Xaman resembles the laboratory of a cocktail cult. Herbs like sage daub smooth mezcal served in coconut shells, while smoke, capers and anise materialize from marble vessels. Designer spaces and drink names like 'astral travel' conjure a mystic-chic vibe. Wizardry aside, the cocktails are enchanting.
Sandwiches and other nibbles are available. Look for the doorbell to get in.
