Throughout our celebration, you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy Ilegal Mezcal, crafted into a selection of thoughtfully created cocktails by our bar team. Each cocktail is designed to highlight the distinctive character of Ilegal while bringing our own creative expression to the glass—balancing the mezcal’s smoky, earthy notes with fresh, seasonal flavors and ingredients. Ilegal Mezcal has deep roots in Oaxaca, where mezcal is more than a spirit—it is a reflection of place, culture, and generations of craftsmanship. Produced from Espadín agave and shaped by traditional methods, every bottle carries a connection to the people and traditions behind its production. One night during our Día de los Muertos celebration, we’ll be joined by Sydney Smith, Ilegal Mezcal Educator based in Seattle, Washington, for a special opportunity to learn more about Ilegal. Sydney will share the story behind the mezcal, its Oaxacan roots, the people who craft it, and what makes Ilegal such a distinctive expression of this incredible spirit. It’s a chance to experience mezcal in a different way—not simply as something in your glass, but as a spirit with history, craftsmanship, and a story worth knowing. Come celebrate Día de los Muertos with us through great food, beautiful cocktails, meaningful traditions, and a spirit that brings people together. We’ll raise our glasses to Oaxaca, to the artistry of mezcal, to those we remember, and to the stories and traditions that continue to connect us. Ilegal Mezcal. Crafted by our bar team. Shared with good company. Celebrated in the spirit of Día de los Muertos.
