Chef Santiago breaking down our Cinco de Mayo lineup 🇲🇽🔥

Three donuts. Three completely different experiences.

🍋 Margarita Donut
Bright, fresh lime glaze layered over a soft yeast donut, infused with 100% agave Cimarrón Blanco tequila and finished with a subtle Tajín chili-lime rim for that perfect sweet, citrus, and salt balance

🥛 Horchata Donut
Warm, pillowy donut topped with authentic silky horchata cream, dusted in cinnamon and cream!

🍫 Mexican Hot Chocolate Donut
Deep chocolate fudge glaze topped with Abuelita-style ground chocolate, toasted marshmallows, and a hint of cinnamon for that nostalgic, fireside hot chocolate vibe

Watch the breakdown… then come taste it for yourself

May 5 ONLY!!
Made fresh until we sell out

Chef Santiago just dropped his personal favorite.
The new Screwball Peanut Butter
Whiskey Donut - infused with Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey,
finished with our signature peanut butter glaze,
a pipette of real Skrewball, and sea-salt crushed peanuts for that perfect bite.
Sweet. Salty. Boozy.
Exactly how Chef likes it.
This one isn’t just a donut... it’s an experience.
