A SUMMER SOIRÉE ACROSS EUROPE WITH JOSÉ LUIS LEÓN OF LICORERÍA LIMANTOUR

As summer takes hold of Europe, we teamed up with our friend and celebrated mixologist José Luis León—the creative mind behind Mexico City’s Licorería Limantour, currently ranked No. 32 on The World’s 50 Best Bars 2024 and No. 9 in North America’s 50 Best Bars 2025—for a series of residencies that brought the vibrant spirit of modern Mexico to some of the continent’s most iconic destinations.

From Paris to Monaco to Zurich, each stop offered its own unique way to experience Mexican mixology. The journey began at Les Ambassadeurs Bar at Hôtel de Crillon in Paris, where guests gathered for a night of elegant cocktails crafted by José Luis himself. We then headed to Monaco where signature drinks like the Mediterranean Margarita—featuring Casa Dragones Blanco, bergamot, limoncello, grapefruit, ginger, and lime—and the Mango con Chile made their debut at Sexy Tacos.

Our final stop took us to Bar am Wasser in Zurich, where José Luis served the Clerico de Primavera, a fresh blend of Casa Dragones Blanco, green melon juice, and Fino sherry, alongside the Hierba de Mercado—a crisp, herb-forward mix of Blanco and Aperol.

This three-city tour was our way of celebrating the season and sharing the creativity of Mexican mixology. We’re grateful for the moments, the conversations, and the cocktails that brought people together along the way.
