What is Sotol? Join Mercado to learn about this spirit from the co-founder of Los Magos Distillery, Juan Pablo.

Sotol is a distillate spirit unlike anything you have had before. It is made from the dasylirion plant, which is native to the Chihuahua region in Mexico. Sotol itself dates back hundreds of years to the indigenous people of Chihuahua, who made into a drink similar to beer. In the colonial era, the Spanish introduced European distillation methods to create the Sotol we know today. The flavor is smooth, with a hint of sweetness, & balanced by a slight smokey flavor. If you enjoy tequila, mezcal or whiskey, this is the Masterclass for you!

They will have a special Sotol cocktail menu, as well as an ala carte food menu featuring salsa, guacamole, & tacos.
