The Art of Mezcal: A Las Melodías Experience at BOLUDO
Two Expressions. Three Cocktails. Three Culinary Pairings. One Unforgettable Evening.
Join us at BOLUDO for an intimate evening of mezcal, cocktails, cuisine, and conversation with Jacqui Thompson, co-founder of Las Melodías de la Luna Mezcal.
Discover the stories, traditions, and craftsmanship behind her exceptional mezcals as Jacqui takes us on a journey through the rich heritage of agave spirits. From the fields of Oaxaca to your glass, you'll explore two distinctive expressions of mezcal through guided tastings, hands-on cocktail creation, and thoughtfully paired BOLUDO cuisine.
This isn't your typical tasting. It's an opportunity to meet the woman behind the brand, discover the artistry of mezcal, and create something delicious along the way.
The Experience
A Warm Welcome
Begin your evening with a signature mezcal cocktail while mingling with fellow guests and meeting Jacqui.
Discover Espadín | First Course
Settle in with a petite BOLUDO salad and two mini empanadas as Jacqui introduces Las Melodías Espadín. Learn about its origins, traditional production methods, and distinctive character while exploring its aromas and flavors through a guided tasting.
Shake, Stir & Savor | Second Course
Now it's your turn behind the bar! Learn to craft a delicious cocktail featuring Espadín mezcal, then enjoy your creation alongside BOLUDO's signature Argentine-inspired pizza.
The Cacao Connection | Third Course
Following a palate refresh, discover Las Melodías Espadín with Cacao, a distinctive expression that brings together the character of agave and the richness of cacao. Jacqui will share the story behind this beautiful spirit before guiding guests through a second tasting.
