In the late 1940s, Hill noticed that Mexico's ancient aguas frescas were facing increasing competition from sodas. Working at his dining room table in Mexico City, with his wife and children as his primary tasters, Hill formulated his first product and entered the soda business.

We were taught when to harvest agave, how to care for the soil, and how much we could ask of the forest. Today, that small-scale tradition exists alongside a global boom that has transformed mezcal into a major industry dominated by international brands. As mezcal has spread to bars around the world, so has its footprint on the land.

Singular Archive is a cultural custodian safeguarding the world's rarest liquids. This is not a spirits brand, but an artistic endeavor in which the liquid is a part of the work itself.

Spirits brand Clase Azul México will soon open a brand-new home in the city's Polanco area on Feb. 17, offering guided tastings, rotating art installations, private events, and more. The new address, dubbed "Casa de Los Leones," or House of the Lions, was built in a historic mansion where original elements like stained glassed windows were preserved, juxtaposed with contemporary design.

A tequila girl is a state of mind. She's the "elite level of hot girl." She is always down. Her Instagram stories are tastefully blurry. She's the last one to leave the party, and the only one who doesn't seem at all hungover the next morning.

In recent years, we've seen a transformation in both the quality and individuality that the country's craft distilleries have been able to produce. While previous decades were dominated by the big-name distilleries, far more awards are going to craft distillers who have mastered the art of producing high-quality whiskeys, rums, gins, and more.

Nipperkin - Not only does it feel like you're having a cocktail in your suspiciously wealthy and eccentric aunt's parlour, but every single drink here is so deftly judged. Their focus on British produce showcases unexpected flavours in classics, the view of the bartenders tempering ice lulls you into a doe-eyed daze, and the people watching would have given Jilly Cooper plentiful material.

For the first time ever, Topo Chico Hard Margarita FAB is available in the brand's unmistakable glass bottle - bringing its iconic symbol into the world of full-flavor Margaritas FABs, it says. Made with real lime juice and added minerals for a crisp finish, the iconic vessel delivers the same balanced sweet-tart lime flavor fans love, now in a more premium, ready-to-enjoy experience, it adds. Before opening, drinkers are invited to "Flip Before They Sip" - a simple ritual printed directly on the bottle that encourages flipping to fully mix the real lime juice before that first refreshing sip, the company notes.
