Mezcal, as iconic of a spirit that it is, does not have an endemic cocktail. Most mezcal cocktails are riffs on classic cocktails that originally called for a different spirit and have been modified for mezcal. Our mission, the Mezcal Cocktail Mission, is to create that cocktail in a competition between the best bartenders in the United States and Mexico. We want to find a cocktail that is instantly recognizable as ‘the mezcal cocktail’ and we want it to be easy enough for any bartender to make.
Join us for the West Coast heat of the competition, where nine bartenders from up and down the West Coast will go shaker to shaker with the goal of advancing to the final competition in Mexico City on May 14th and be crowned the creator of the Mezcal Cocktail.
As an attendee you'll be able to taste all nine competiting cocktails, as well as nibble on treats from the Tres kitchen.
All proceeds from the event will go to The Mezcal Collaborative, a new project which represents the category of mezcal in the United States and globally outside of Mexico to educate the world on what mezcal is and why you should drink more of it. Its goals are to increase category growth, build a common education platform, and create the high impact marketing campaigns that mezcal deserves.
This is a 21 and over event only.
