Cocktail Pairings
A smoky-sparkling Mezcal Paloma (grapefruit, lime, soda) shows off the mezcal’s herbal lift, while an Oaxaca Old Fashioned wraps its silky oak in agave sweetness and bitters. The Mezcal Negroni leans into bittersweet sophistication; a zesty Mezcal Margarita keeps agave at centre stage; and a gingery, refreshing Mezcal Mule highlights the spirit’s clean mineral finish.
Craftsmanship & Story
Made by a fourth-generation family of maestros mezcaleros, Gracias a Dios honors traditional methods from field to bottle. Estate and locally grown Espadín (matured ~6+ years) is slow-roasted in an earthen pit, tahona-crushed, naturally fermented in pine vats, and double-distilled in copper. The reposado rests three months in American oak, rounding the edges of fresh agave with a gentle, golden warmth—balanced, approachable, and unmistakably Oaxacan.
Special Features
Silky, herb-forward profile refined by a short, sympathetic oak rest; artisanal production with natural fermentation and copper distillation; elevated yet versatile character that shines neat and elevates classic cocktail builds; sustainably minded practices woven through the brand’s own agave plantings and packaging choices.
