The cocktail world is embracing this Mexican celebratory event with colorful tequila and mezcal creations. The ingredients are reflecting a contrast between sour and sweet, light and dark, and a gateway to cozy winter spices. Tasting these cocktails provide you a real cultural experience. Additionally, the classic ingredients like lime, agave, salt, sweet milk, cinnamon, chocolate and tropical fruit appear. Coffee flavored tequila and mezcal recipes are common as well representing the dark side of death.

I would like to highlight my Del Maguey Mezcal cocktail, which is a sweet and smoky twist on a classic old fashioned.
