who want a more in-depth beverage experience , but the resort ’ s latest offering hearkens back to Mexico ’ s history of distilled beverages .
The new “ Ancestral Drink Tasting ” launched officially in December and is included in the resort ’ s nightly rate . “ We had been thinking of doing this for some time , then the ultimate catalyst was our decision to have a food festival at our Frida restaurant highlighting the best of Mexico ,” says Eduardo Quiroga , resort sommelier . “ We wanted the festival to reflect not just current food and beverage trends , but also Mexico ’ s rich culinary and cultural traditions in both food and beverage .”
That led to Quiroga and his team researching – and then collecting – unusual distilled spirits that have a long history in Mexico , including bacanora ,
a 300-year-old agave spirit ; sotol , which distils an asparagus-type plant that needs 15 years of growth before it can be harvested ; tuxca , a type of mezcal that distills 20 different types of agave into one spirit ; and pox , fermented in oak from wheat , sugar cane and brown sugar .
“ More than a commitment of time was a commitment of life experience in our large food and beverage team ” to create cocktails and infusions for the spirits , Quiroga says . “ Some of the drinks and spirits are expensive and very scarce , so this can definitely involve a not-insubstantial investment .”
The experiences give added value to the resort since they ’ re included in the resort rate , and they also create memories for guests . “ The experiences are also a source of valuable media coverage that we ’ ve seen affect the bottom line ,” Quiroga says .
