Oaxaca is a land of traditions, flavors and a living culture. Among its most precious treasures is mezcal, a distillate that contains centuries of history and knowledge passed down from generation to generation. In Puerto Escondido, this elixir of the gods finds a perfect setting where the sea breeze and golden sunsets enhance its essence.
At Raíz Hotel Boutique , we want our guests to live an authentic Oaxacan experience. Through our Mezcal Tasting , we offer a sensorial and cultural journey that allows you to discover the magic of agave distillates on the Oaxacan coast . From the history and the production process to the best way to taste it, each glass tells a story.
History and Magic of Mezcal in Puerto Escondido
Mezcal is much more than a drink; it is a reflection of the land and its people. It is made with different varieties of agave, each one providing unique notes and nuances. In our mezcal tasting, we explore the richness of Oaxacan mezcals, from the classic Espadín Joven from Los Cuerudos , to wild mezcals such as Tepeztate and Cuishe , without forgetting the ancestral ones, distilled in clay pots, which represent the pure essence of tradition.

Pairing Mezcal and Coastal Gastronomy
For a complete experience, we combine mezcal with the flavors of the coast. At our hotel, you can taste cocktails inspired by Oaxacan tradition , designed to highlight the richness of this drink. Some of our most representative cocktails include:
Donaji : A modern reinterpretation of an Oaxacan classic. We substituted orange juice for passion fruit, adding a touch of red with beet jam, which adds a spicy note. This is our signature cocktail.
Café de la Abuela : A tribute to the traditional flavors of mole, inspired by our grandmothers' cooking. Its mix of ingredients evokes memories and transports you to an Oaxacan table.
Naila : It represents the customs of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, with nanche and its mezcal marinade as the main ingredients. Each sip is a journey to the heart of Oaxaca.
Santa Ana : Inspired by the agave harvest and local traditions, this cocktail evokes the abundance and richness of Oaxaca.
Mezcalitas : Classic and refreshing, our mezcalitas are a perfect option for those who want to enjoy mezcal in a lighter, more tropical presentation.
