Mexico is known for many things, but tequila is definitely at the top of the list, and for good reason! It’s a spirit beloved by many and universal in its enjoyment. Whether you’re sipping it neat, taking a shot with some lime & salt, or mixing it in a classic margarita, you’re participating in a rich cultural tradition that dates back to as early as 1000 BC.
Mezcal is a spirit deeply tied to Oaxacan tradition — many believe it’s a drink that gets consumed in the afterlife!
One of the strongest cultural traditions in Mexico is Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, which takes place during the first 2 days of November. It’s a time for families to come together and honor their loved ones who have passed on, reuniting the living & the dead in celebration.
During this time, you’ll find gravesites and homes decorated with clusters of Mexican marigolds, sugar skulls, and altars of photos, lit candles, personal items, and loved ones’ favorite foods. It’s quite common to see their favorite spirits laid out as well, serving as an invitation for the deceased to join in on the festivities.
