We’re happy to announce that Mezcal Week is back and better than ever November 5th-12th, 2017. Last year was a great launch with participants from far flung mezcal obsessives in Australia, England, Mexico, and the U.S. There were art openings, cocktail tasting menus, all manner of special flights, and so much great mezcal that we had to do it again.
Obviously we believe mezcal is something to be celebrated every day, but why we launched Mezcal Week is so we can celebrate the wonders of mezcal together, for one whole week. This is a completely grassroots venture, putting the how you want to celebrate in your hands. Bars, restaurants, cultural organizations everywhere will decide how they will be featuring mezcal while you, the drinking public, get to enjoy the outrageous variety of offerings.
So what exactly is Mezcal Week?
- It’s a week where restaurants, bars, and cultural outlets feature mezcal.
- Generally bars have mezcal flights and special cocktails while restaurants have a special menu or dish. But we encourage you to be creative, we have art openings, documentary series, musical events, and more planned for this year.
- The goal is to promote the category of mezcal. You love it, so spread that love to your customers because we want them ordering more mezcal and visiting you more often.
- It happens everywhere, meaning across the globe.
