A night out in Mexico City, seen through the eyes of someone who works behind the bar. It’s not about hitting the hottest spots—it’s about how locals in the industry experience the city, one drink at a time.

In 2019, one sip of Eric’s Fig Martini changed everything for me. Years later, I had the chance to work with him at Handshake Speakeasy and see what was behind the glass: precision, consistency, and a deep respect for hospitality.

We talked about what Mexico City has taught him, the bars he loves, and why good work—like a perfectly chilled martini—endures.
