mmm fried pickles and a tequila Clockwork Orange at Kupro's Bistro
Saturday night I attended a fantastic tequila tasting benefit for my favorite local gallery, La Raza Galeria Posada. Presented by Agave52 held at Social nightclub, I sampled delicious reposados, anejos and blancos from different distilleries based in Mexico. I also tried Mezcal for the first time, que sabroso! Featured at the event were Sacacuento premium mezcal, Alquimia organic tequila and Tequila Manaña (Drink it today. Love it Manaña. So great!)
Charring the peppers - the flame is as tall as the bartender!
After the event a group headed over to Mayahuel, el museo de tequila at 1200 K Street to enjoy delicious cocktails and appetizers, served to the sounds of a Mariachi band. ¡Arriba! The amazing bartenders at Mayahuel made their special "charred pepper" margarita, what a show. Caliente!
The weekend wrapped up with a wonderful message from Jennifer Lynn, a talented, beautiful performer based in Chicago. Jennifer is the sister of my beloved friend, Catherine, for whom I created my Dia de los Muertos altar, part of the Panteon de Sacramento show with La Raza Galeria Posada. I haven't heard from Jennifer in ages, and I don't believe in coincidences, so this is very special. (*smiling and crying at the same time*)
Gorgeous + talented = Jennifer Lynn!
