THE MELBOURNE ALIPÚS MEZCAL TRAIL

THE MELBOURNE ALIPÚS MEZCAL TRAIL
Monday the 6th of November (TIME – 6:30pm until late)
Venues Involved – Mamasita, Bodega Underground, Mesa Verde, Touche Hombre.

To celebrate world Mezcal week on Sunday the 5th of November Alipus Mezcal and four of Melbourne’s finest Mexican restaurants present the Alipus Mezcal Trail.

The idea, four different Alipus Mezcal cocktails all hand matched with four dishes. One night only! Each cocktail and matched dish will set you back only $20.

Each attendee will receive their own Mezcal Passport that they have to get stamped once visiting each of the venues along the Mezcal trail. Once completed they hand their passport back at the last venue they visit to go into the draw to win one of four $100 vouchers from each of the participating venues.

The goal, to expose more of the general public to our favourite spirit.

Mezcal Experience at Xico

At Xico we want guests to get excited about mezcal like we do! Xico Chef Kelly Myers was tasked with crafting small bites that pair well with three different mezcals. We started with three espadins and here’s what she came up with:

  • Amaras Espadin is paired with grilled fresh local figs served with, pickled grapes, drizzled with cascabel chile honey.
  • Wahaka Espadin is paired with manchego cheese topped with pickled chipotle meco and onion.
  • Fidencio Sin Humo (Unico) is paired with mussels pickled in champagne vinegar, ginger, serrano chile & allspice.

We want everyone to try this offering from Chef Myers, so we offer two sizes:

  • Three 1/2oz pours for $18.50
  • Three 1oz pours for $29.

    • Xico works closely with its farmers and only uses locally sourced produce. Ingredients in the above offerings are subject to change.
