ABOUT

Mezcal Week (September 8-15, 2021) is a celebration of mezcal that takes place in bars, restaurants, and cultural institutions everywhere. By coming together as a category, we will make mezcal the center of the universe for one whole week. Post on Instagram or Facebook how you are celebrating mezcal September 8-15. Simply tag @mezcalweek and include the #mezweek2021 in the post and we will flood the internet with the images!

WHAT ARE SOME MEZCAL WEEK IDEAS?

It may be a special mezcal cocktail, a talk about mezcal, an awesome new plate, a flight of mezcal or whatever really expresses how amazing mezcal is.

Mezcal Brands

Put your ambassadors and distributors to work to engage your accounts through drinks specials, product launches, industry trainings, and more! What about a palenque tour, or an interview with a mezcalero via Facebook Live?

Chefs

Think pairings, think cooking with mezcal, think of all the ways mezcal has inspired you and use that to inspire your customers to explore the world of mezcal.

Bartenders

Get those creative juices flowing and think about flights or special cocktails to highlight for a week.

Retail Outlets

Show off your stock and put you mezcal bottles front and center for the week. Offer customers special pricing, create themed gift baskets that highlight themes like regionality, agave varietals or mezcal cocktail starter kits.

Prepping for El Grito with a little sangrita and a little Tobala from Sola de Vega. Note the color of the mezcal - that yellowish hue is not from wood barrel aging but instead from the production process and the enamelized bowl that is used during distillation. This is very distinctive of the region! How will you be kicking things off at midnight tonite?

It was a parade in Oaxaca, dancers, music, fireworks. There are other moments, but this is one I return to again and again because this is how the love affair began.

Behold the mezcal cocktail - the gateway for most people beginning their mezcal journey. Bartenders were early adopters of mezcal - the arrival of mezcal in the market in the US coincided with a resurging interest in cocktails and mezcal provided the versatility and complex flavors to create exciting new drinks. That same versatility also meant it was possible to subsitute mezcal for other spirits in classic cocktails like Manhattans, Last Words, Palomas, and pictured here, Negronis.

What's your favorite mezcal cocktail and why?
