In May of this year, we were lucky enough to visit Oaxaca, Mexico, courtesy of our friends at El Buho Mezcal Artesanal. During an amazing 6 day period, we met with local chefs, artisans, & distillers who showcased a wide array of perspective-altering food & drink.
To show our appreciation for the incredible trip, we will be hosting an Oaxacan-themed evening featuring our take on some favorite Oaxacan food dishes paired (of course) with some carefully selected mezcales. We invite everyone to join us, but particularly look forward to seeing folks who have also taken the trip with the El Buho Mezcal Artesanal team who will be in the house (and may be behind the bar!). As a perk for those who don’t drink, we are offering a non-alcoholic cocktail featuring the only alcohol-free spirit from Oaxaca: Tomonotomo!
The event is not ticketed and will run from 5-8pm on Wednesday, July 23rd, with a special video call with Asis Cortés (a friend, artist, Mezcalero & authenticity crusader) somewhere in the middle of it.
The food menu is forthcoming, but the drinks will likely be the following:
¡Vamos! -El Buho Artesanal Espadín fizz w/ melon & citrus.
So Fresh, So Green-El Buho Artesenal Espadín paloma w/ chiles & cilantro.
Pepe’s Painkiller-Frozen El Buho Artesenal Espadín painkiller.
