La Catrina by Jim Meehan
James Beard award-winner, Jim Meehan, makes an elegant nod to Day of the Dead with his signature cocktail, La Catrina. 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. La Cartina was sourced using locally sourced ingredients from the San Miguel de Allende Markets.
