Craft Agave Spirits Menu
We don’t carry celebrity or corporate tequilas because many big brand tequila makers either speed up the distilling process by using hydrochloric acid, or add sugars and adjuncts like vanilla extract to give their tequilas fake flavoring. Instead, we have put together a collection of agave-based spirits from independent and artisan distilleries that treat the agave plant with the respect it deserves. We believe these spirits are superior in quality to more well known brands.
Agave Spirits:
Siempre Plata $8 / Reposado $10 / Anejo $13.5
Co-founded by a woman from a family of female mezcal distillers
La Gritona Reposado $10
Woman master distiller & an almost all female staff
Tequila Ocho Plata $11 / Reposada $17
Voted “World’s Best Tequila” in 2020
Curamia Blanco $11
Women owned & operated, focused on sustainability
Jose Quervo Reserva De la Familia Platino $9
Artisan small batch agave from the oldest tequila distillery in the world
El Viaje Raicilla $12
Once considered “Mexican moonshine,” Raicilla is a style of mezcal originating from Jalisco that utilizes various agave plants. The taste has floral & vegetal overtones without the smokiness of mezcal.
Quechol Sotol Texanum $12
Distilled from a desert shrub rather than agave, this Sotol is mild with flavors of black licorice
Bozal Chino Verde Ancestral Mezcal $24.50
The complex palate demonstrates a balance of delicate fruit and rich notes of cherry, fig, and leather
Bozal Tepeztate Single Maguey Mezcal $16.50
Flavors of papaya complemented by a touch of green pepper leading to a long, mineral forward finish.
