Marks today the beginning of Los Muertos Dia de celebration of a two-day Mexican, which combines European traditions to conquer the Holiday (November 1), and All Souls Feast of All Saints (November 2) with the Festival of the Aztec Mictecacihuatl, is represented here today, where Calavera Katrina, the queen of the underworld and ruler of the afterlife . Far from being morbid or sad celebration, Day of the Dead feast is closer to the thanks of all the saints, with a lot of friends and family, chocolate, food and drink to satisfy all of the material and immaterial for.
You do not have to go to Mexico or the Mission to celebrate Dia de los Muertos. Altar building requires some items: flowers (Marigold and Traditional), candles, skeleton and skull art, and some presentations, such as chocolate, fruit, or bread. He said in many cases to the spread of alcoholic beverages. But the lives that please the dead?
When you build an altar to have decided to go with each of tequila and mezcal for different reasons. We love Chichicapa mezcal del maguey, the spirit of completely hand made in the mud and bamboo with wild shots agave cooked in pits with hot stone mesquite fires. Smoke a little, and fruits, and sweet, and it feels like in the rural areas they come from Mexico, a place for a two-hour drive outside the city of Oaxaca. At $ 70 a bottle, although it’s a bit of splurge.
We chose to Tequila reposado Espolón newly released, partly because of the price of sin (23 $) and cold Dia de los Muertos Art on the label, but also because of the ability to drink from inside the Tequila. The taste is light on the oak, with a little sweetness and a nice vanilla and floral notes menthol that are typical for this category. This is a great value.
If you do not have to worry about keeping alcohol away from your pet a strange dog, or sneaky, be sure to pour a cup “copita”, or little, for yourself, and ghostly visitors. Cheers to all our friends in the present and the past!
