All Art, Culture & Collaborations Article comments count: 0

The authenticity of a mezcal is validated in the cup, but it is celebrated in community. Our participation in the "Salud y Amigos" Agave Festival at Thunder Studios (Long Beach) was a vibrant testimony to this philosophy, combining the unwavering spirit of Oaxaca with the effervescence of agave culture in California.

The tone was set the moment we arrived: Rolling up in Style.

The visual icon of our booth was our legendary 1939 Firme Chevy Truck. This truck is a symbol of durability and steadfastness, serving as a meeting point that connected the Oaxacan legacy with the vibrant Southern California community.

 

Showcase: Attendees sampled all six expressions, exploring the diversity of agave: the approachable Pulquero, the complex Tepeztate, and the aromatic Mandarina y Cempasúchil.

FUSION OF SPIRITS: HIGH-END COCKTAIL ART AS COLLABORATION 

Success was driven by the mastery of our collaborators. We thank La Tequila Club and the entire crew for their trust and for allowing their imagination to run wild with the cocktails.

The Creations Defining Collaboration: Two cocktails received ovations from the community and peers:

  1. The Lavender Mezcalerita: An elegant, aromatic version that utilized our mezcal as its base.
  2. PPD Mezcal Sour: A tropical explosion fusing Pineapple, Passion Fruit, and Dragon Fruit.

CELEBRATING CULTURE AND COMMUNITY

The deepest value of the festival was the connection with "the community." From pouring mezcal to sharing a moment, it was all love and good vibes.

The ability to sell bottles at the event sealed the experience, allowing attendees to take that mezcal magic home and support the agave movement.

 

 

UNTIL THE NEXT ENCOUNTER

6 expressions. • 1 Firme truck. • Endless good vibes.

Thank you for your steadfastness! Cheers, my people!
