"The Southern Mexican restaurant and mezcal bar in Shaw will offer drink and flight specials from Saturday, October 30, through Tuesday, November 2. On those days, Espita will start pouring its ponche para Los Muertos (Pasote reposado tequila, pomegranate, piloncillo, Mexican marigold, ginger) at 4 p.m. Over in the Union Market district, sister spot Las Gemelas will pour the same punch along with a Fantasma cocktail (horchata, rum, pineapple, orange) and the Calavera (cold brew cordial, mezcal, vanilla)." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff
