Sold Out! – Thank you
Friday, November 15th, 6pm
An evening featuring “Ancient Origins; Modern Delights:
The History of Corn and Mezcal in México,”
La Familia Tortilla Shop, Tres Tiempos and Tequila Museo Mayahuel have collaborated to bring you an amazing evening of gastronomic delight.
Come with us on an adventure into the magic of heirloom tortilla making – the way it has been done for centuries (with more modern equipment!). La Familia Tortilla Shop uses rare, ancient varieties of corn – the same varieties used in precolonial México. They support ethical, fair trade from valued local farmers and use sustainable methods so these exquisite corn varieties remain available for future generations to enjoy.
In addition to their handcrafted tortillas, they offer salsas that are fresh and delicious whether you use them simply to dip your tortilla in or on your favorite tacos. Some of these will be available for you to purchase!
To pair perfectly with our innovative menu, we’ll be serving tastings of Tres Tiempos Mezcal. Tres Tiempos begins with organic growing practices, just as they were grown five generations before.
Their slow and methodical process shows respect for the history of the maguey; the legends that honor the ancient culture, for mezcal is the drink of friendship, of welcoming others, of dreams.
Tres Tiempos pays tribute to the three stages of life – being born, growing and thriving and dying –
experienced in the cultivation, distillation and packaging of the mezcal to send it on its way where it will
be consumed. Every aspect of life is dependent on the land and nature. The soil that provides the
minerals; the monsoonal rains that bring thirst-quenching water.
Life in San Luis Amatlán centers around Mezcal – in the hot dry climate those who live in the small village
are dedicated to a culture that takes pride in perfection. This is essential to producing Tres Tiempos, and
they ensure that every employee is paid far above México’s minimum wage – a wage that enables them
to live with dignity and provide for their families.
We’ll serve:
• Tepeztate
• Bicuixe
• Ensamble (Madrecuixe-Espadín-Bicuixe)
• Ernesto Ensamble (Coyote-Verde-Espadín-Bicuixe)
Our menu was thoughtfully to represent Mexican gastronomy at it’s finest. Honoring tradition, with a nod to history and an ancient culture – all with present-day inspiration.
