La Catrina by Jim Meehan

After sourcing traditional Mexican ingredients from the local market in San Miguel de Allende such as chili liqueur and rice agua fresca, James Beard award-winning bartender Jim Meehan makes an elegant nod to Day of the Dead with his signature cocktail, La Catrina. Blending whole egg with Ancho Reyes Ancho Chili Liqueur, Cacao Agua Fresca and  pepita paste, Meehan crafts a deliciously frothy cocktail that delicately enhances the warm, spiced notes of Casa Dragones Blanco. Meehan crafted La Catrina cocktail while launching the Casa Dragones Bartender Residency Program at the Casa Dragones Tasting Room, a six-seat, reservation-only destination in San Miguel de Allende.
