Overview

Begin with an introduction to agave spirits, their history, their role in biodiversity, and their cultural significance in Mexico. Then, delve into the first spirit, exploring its origin, history, and tasting notes.

For example, learn about Comiteco, a pulque spirit from Chiapas, made from the aguamiel extracted from Agave Americana in Comitán. This aguamiel ferments in living fermentation vats that have been continuously nurtured for generations, creating a unique aromatic and structural profile.

Identify its aromas, flavors, and possible pairings, connecting each profile to its artisanal production process. Then, play a sensory game by introducing a key ingredient present in the spirit—such as cinnamon—so that you can smell it separately and recognize it within the drink, understanding the inspiration behind the cocktail you are about to taste.

What to expect

In-depth Sensory Analysis: Begin by smelling the pure spirit to understand its complex aroma. Next, you'll either smell or taste a key ingredient that complements the spirit, enhancing your understanding of its flavor profile.

Cocktail Integration: Experience how each spirit and its corresponding key ingredient come together in a series of four mini cocktails. This hands-on approach helps you make sense of how the aromas and flavors of the spirits are highlighted and transformed in the cocktail.

Final Favorite: Conclude the session with a full-sized cocktail—your favorite from the mini tasting series, allowing you to savor your preferred blend in full.
