The “weekend drinking industry” is a phenomenon that is growing rapidly around the world. Mexico is not far behind and more and more establishments offer carefully designed options to enjoy drinking experiences.
Bartenders and mixologists are passionate about the world of drinks, from the selection of ingredients, the search for flavors, harmonizing the spirits, creating the montages and decorations or even thinking about the pairing, the design behind each drink can take a lot time, trials and effort.
A part of the taste and personality of the creator should be reflected in a cocktail, so it is important to recognize the enormous work that is carried out.
The grace with which each movement is executed behind the bar is an important part of the cocktail ritual, the experience of contemplating the way your drink is made is almost magical.
