On Nov. 2, arrive and craft your “Mexology flavor” during a workshop celebrating local and seasonal ingredients. Then, explore classic Mexican cocktails in a special event. In the evening, the bar is taken over by select guests with unique offerings.
Event highlights include not only tastings and workshops, but also cocktail-making sessions, bar takeovers, a virtual reality experience that introduces guests to the agave fields of Mexico and a farewell cocktail finale located at a beachside setting only accessible by boat.
The resort is inviting a large number of mixologists to the event, including those who bring an international take to the Mexican agave spirits on display. Highlights include Danica McGuinness, a three-time Emmy Award-winning NBC news producer and Saeed “Hawk” House, a Los Angeles bartender known as one of Food & Wine’s 20 Black Mixologists You Need on Your Radar.
