Liquid CDMX: when your guide is a local bartender
If you live outside of Mexico, you’ve probably noticed: The algorithm got Mexicanized
Mexico City wasn’t made for TikTok, but there it is—viral.
Mexico City has always been a tourist destination. But after the pandemic, something changed.
Now it’s also a place where fine dining and cocktails are literally on everyone’s lips.
Michelin, 50 Best Bars, The Spirits Awards…
you name it.
Not a typical bar crawl
Going from bar to bar isn’t new.
What changes is who you do it with and how.
When you go with someone who lives behind the bar, who knows the people running the place, the experience hits different.
You know why you start with a Highball or Gimlet and end with Sotol or an Oaxaca Old Fashioned.
You know when to listen, when to ask questions, how to read the room.
Every bar has a story. and not all of them say it out loud.

Everything tastes different when you get the context
There’s no need to dress it up.
A drink can be good, but with context, it feels different.
It’s not the same to taste just any spirit as it is to drink one when you know where it comes from, who makes it, and why it’s on that menu.
That’s what this experience is about: sharing the drink and food scene of CDMX from the inside out.

Mexico City has a complex scene.
