Preview: Oyamel's Tequila and Mezcal Festival
Everyone has had that bad morning after doing too many tequila shots, but hopefully you'll feel a little differently after this event. From March 2-15, Oyamel will be hosting a Tequila and Mezcal Festival. During the Festival, you'll be able to sample a variety of tequilas and mezcals, as well as various antojitos (small plates) that feature the liquors among their ingredients ($8.50-12). In addition to the options pictured below, they will also be serving Hawaiian marlin ceviche marinated in tangerine and reposado tequila, and mushroom-nopal soup with tequila blanco.
On March 3, from 5 to 7p.m., there will be a free tequila tasting with Siembra Azul tequila's David Suro. On March 5, from 5 to 7p.m., join Del Maguey's Ron Cooper for a free tasting of single village mezcal, including the one we mentioned that is distilled through a chicken breast. Cooper has explored numerous villages in Mexico to bring their mezcals to market.
Other events include a paired tasting dinner on March 4 with flights of three tequilas or mezcals starting at $15. For more details about all the events, check out the event website.
