TUGURIO BOUTIQUE

Where to Taste Mezcal in Mexico City

"In Condesa, Tugurio Boutique is a small retail shop (steps from Mondrian Condesa) where you can taste artisan Mexican distillates—many of which are not exported—and book private tastings; the owners, who have backgrounds in mezcal production and Michelin-starred restaurants, source from small producers nationally and work with Cynthia Ruiz Villalobos and an NGO to bring tiny batches to market under the Aventureros del Mezcal label. To widen access, the owners recently took over the dive bar across the street, El Aserrín, so people can taste these mezcals at more affordable prices." - Lauren Mowery
