Cítrico Café & Agavería Returns to the New York Cocktail Expo 2025 — With a Special 50% Discount for EXPO Guests

Back on the Big Stage, New York Cocktail Expo 2025

On Sunday, August 17th, 2025, the New York Cocktail Expo 2025 returns: a celebration of the city’s top mixologists, creative cocktails, and exceptional spirits. For Cítrico Café & Agavería, this event is more than a date on the calendar. It’s a chance to showcase our passion for agave spirits, represent Astoria, Queens, and share our craft with the city’s cocktail lovers.

Last year, we made headlines by winning second place at the 2024 Expo with our original creation, the Lady From Sonora. This award-winning cocktail, crafted with Kilinga Bacanora, fresh citrus, and house-infused botanicals, captured the judges’ attention with its smoky depth, vibrant flavors, and elegant presentation.

Our Tequila Selection

The Lady From Sonora: A Celebration of Sonoran Craft

Our Lady From Sonora was inspired by the Sonoran region of Mexico, where Bacanora has been produced for centuries. The Kilinga Bacanora at its heart delivers earthy and smoky notes, balanced with bright citrus and subtle floral accents.

Every detail, from the hand-selected ingredients to the garnish inspired by desert flora, was designed to tell a story in every sip. This attention to flavor and presentation earned us a spot among NYC’s top cocktail creators in 2024.
