Cinco De Mayo took on a very special meaning when Mezcal Unión hosted a lavish bash this weekend in New York City.
Guests gathered at the renowned Superbueno in Manhattan for a colorful night full of thrilling sips and scrumptious culinary delights.
Superbueno’s expertly crafted cocktails showing Mezcal Unión were the perfect way to celebrate the holiday. And it went beyond just another party since the brand also has a fantastic program that benefits the community.
Mezcal Unión was born with the purpose of uniting. From the start, they believed that unity is strength and the path to spark change.To unite means to gather farmers, producers, mezcaleros and more people in Mexico and around the world. This is why in 2008 they named the project “Unión” with the purpose of sharing that message with every bottle.Starting things off with first rounds in 2011 their story began, knocking on more doors, sharing our mezcal utopia: as more people get to know mezcal, they generate more opportunities for the communities that produce it. And that’s how they decided to tell our story ten, one-hundred, one-thousand times with the same passion.
From the very beginning, their purpose was to generate social development for Oaxacan local communities, preserving the tradition of artisanal production of mezcal. Mezcal Unión catalyzes collaboration amongst every person and community involved in the process of agave farming and mezcal production. They aim to exalt the name of Mexico, showing new ways to enjoy it, exploring its cities, streets and trying its food and drinks.
Unión helps create better life conditions for the Oaxacan families whilst caring for the environment and preserving traditional mezcal production processes, positioning itself as one of the brands that has led the way to make mezcal one of the fastest growing categories around the world.
