Mexico in a Bottle Denver

Mexico in a Bottle comes to Denver! Join us for our Denver debut at Finn’s Manor as we celebrate Mexican craft spirits, food, art and music, on Mexican Independence Day.

What began as a tribute to mezcal, the embodiment of Mexico, Mexico in a Bottle has evolved to showcase the growing craft beverage scene in Mexico. No longer just an agave driven movement, we now see rum, whiskey, and of course wine making its way to shelves here in the United States. The story of mezcal and these other elixirs isn’t just about alcohol, each bottle contains a piece of Mexican culture, and is a living link to history, tradition, art, and music – life and death all in a bottle.

Join us on 9/10 starting at 2pm for complimentary opening cocktails featuring Banhez Mezcal & botanas at the bar, followed by a Banhez presentation & tasting of several different expressions. Stick around for a special Banhez Happy Hour at 4pm, featuring Banhez mezcal flights & cocktails! Please RSVP to kelly@espitadc.com as spaces are limited.
