I stumbled upon these photos from a walk in Atlixco 5 months ago and I find the color + beauty of the murals quite energizing 🌈 . Atlixcayotl is a Nahuatl phrase that roughly translates to “the great Atlixco tradition”, referring to an
We did it! We all made it to another Mezcal Monday 🥃🌵🤙🏽. What will you be sipping on today?
¡Feliz Día de la Batalla de Puebla! Or, as we commonly say: Feliz Cinco de Mayo 🎉 Today commemorates the Mexican victory over a larger + better equipped French Army at the Battle of Puebla in 1862, boosting morale during the Second Fra
It finally feels a bit more like spring in NYC so let’s talk about regrowth + reproduction! 🌺🐥 You probably know that agaves can reproduce sexually (through seed) or asexually (through genetic clones called hijuelos that sprout from near the
Nostalgic, but I know these days will return soon✨. Six months ago @hailey_vogel joined us for an afternoon with @rezpiral_; now I request FaceTime sessions with her despite living only 2 blocks apart from each other. I think it’s safe to say t
For 6 weeks my eyes have barely seen an object more than 30 feet away, so while travel is not an option I consider gazing at expansive vistas, even on a screen, part of my wellness regime🧘🏻‍♀️. Join me. #Hierve⛲️🇲🇽
I spent some time today scrolling through photos of all the beautiful places mezcal has taken me in the past year, from the lush mountains of Michoacán, to the volcanic landscapes of Puebla, to the high desert mountains of Durango, and the inc
I could just stare at geometric agave shapes all day long 🍍🌀🥚🌵⭐️. With the perspective we have now, these patterned images captured 6 months ago at @lalunamezcal’s palenque in Indaparapeo (Michoacán) speak perhaps to a world that was
Ode to Cachetón! 😍 On my 1st night in Puebla in January I discovered this delicious agave varietal when I ordered a pour from this Lagrima de Jaguar bottle. It’s produced in Coatepec by Maestro Mezcalero Melecio Meza Correa, who shot to
Cheers to absolutely nothing in particular! 🎉 But also cheers to everything we are doing - even if it feels like nothing - to adapt to this new reality. I spent a birthday in isolation two days ago, but I was mostly focused on devouring an entire 🎂
Just because we can’t gather together in person to absorb information and ask questions about the delicious distillates we sip on doesn’t mean that the learning has to stop 🤓. I am in talks with mezcalero friends in MX to set up some vir
I was supposed to restock my favorite protein snack last week in Oaxaca but for now I’ll stare longingly at a photo with an edible friend from simpler times 2 months ago 🦗😋🦗😍. (¿Quién me quiere enviar una bolsita?🙏🏼)
As seen in San Nicolás Huajuapan, but a universal sentiment 🔥🥂
Cheers to the weekend! Or in quarantine terms, cheers to... whatever day it is. I’m pretty sure that If you fill up the jícaras, the imaginary friends will come? 🤞🏽#AmigosxMezcalinTimeofCorona
Quarantine break: all the green things🌵🥬🌱💚, but mainly NOPALES! Also seen in Atlixco’s regional market in January. Nopales are the pads of the nopal cactus, which also grows prickly pear fruit (tuna en español). Known for being anti-
Today’s quarantine break: beautiful bean edition. As seen in Atlixco’s regional market on a Tuesday in January. Who can help me identify the varieties?
Join me in taking a break from your regularly scheduled quarantine life to appreciate these beautiful palm fronds near @zinacantan.mezcal’s vivero in San Diego de la Mesa, Puebla ☀️🌿 #VisionsfromtheCouch
Cocktail in hand, sunshine pouring in through the window, + standing within feet (even inches?) of friends ☀️. Seems like a distant dream on this gloomy housebound day. I’m inspired by @cluur_buur’s natural magazine cover style from exact
A sight for sore eyes 😍. It was only a few weeks ago that our most pressing concern at the @5sentidosagave Amigos x Mezcal was deciding which bottle was our favorite. In NYC, however, it seems like a lifetime ago. This Pichomel, produced by Atelo Ra
In times of uncertainty, it’s still important to celebrate life + each other, learn + evolve, and find joy in the little things. And if anyone is bored from working from home, a limited social life or cancelled travels, I have a closet full of
