To get into the holiday spirit, Mezcal El Silencio is sharing two new cocktail recipes: Cafe Noir and Holiday in Oaxaca. Both cocktails are sure to keep you warm this season with their smoky profiles and festive ingredients and are perfect for any upcoming holiday gatherings.
Mezcal El Silencio revived the ancient art of mezcal, pioneering a unique approach and delivering the hand-crafted spirit to a new generation of creative drinkers and cultural innovators. Founded in Santa Monica in 2013, the company creates its mezcal in Oaxaca, Mexico, using the traditional process carried on by generations of mezcaleros. Meticulously picked agaves are roasted, crushed and double distilled resulting in a full-bodied flavor. For more information, visit www.silencio.com,Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. #MESBlackMagic
