Purity, finesse, and elegance.

Loco Puro Corazón is a liquid masterpiece that honors the brilliant madness of those bold enough to create with radical authenticity. Its precision elevates blanco tequila to a level of transcendent creativity never seen before. Luxury, sophistication, and art in a single expression. Its bottle and case were designed by artist Jan Hendrix; an author-crafted tequila by Alberto Navarro, Master Tequilero of Loco Tequila. locotequila.mx

Long live pulque!

Pulque is more than a fermented beverage; it is a symbol of resistance and culture. This book by Juan Escalona, published by NOVO, explores its identity and nature, linking each chapter to a territory and a key theme: fermentation, natural history, tinacales, and social tensions. Accompanied by exclusive recipes to pair with pulque, it is an essential work that celebrates and documents the new Mexican gastronomy. Bilingual edition! novomx.com

Art in the Barrel

Casa Dragones Añejo Barrel Blend is a tequila crafted for celebration. Its double aging in new French and American oak barrels brings elegance and character. Light-bodied with bright tones, it reveals floral aromas with hints of fig and almond; on the palate, it evokes macadamia, nutmeg, and blackberry, finishing long and enveloping with notes of cacao and black pepper. casadragones.com.mx
