Mexico in a Bottle Chicago

Join us as we mark six years of Mexico in a Bottle in Chicago at our new location - Bridgeport Art Center!

What began as an event to celebrate the story of mezcal has evolved into a full scale celebration of the incredible flavors and craft driving the Mexican spirits industry. No longer just an agave driven movement, Mexican rum, whiskey, gin, liqueur, bitters, wine and beer are now making taking their place among the finest expressions in the market. What makes these elixirs so special goes beyond alcohol, each bottle contains a piece and flavor of Mexican culture, and is a living link to history, tradition, food, art, and music – life and death all in a bottle.

Join us Sunday, April 23rd for an afternoon celebrating the great Spirits of Mexico!
