Here’s an exclusive recipe from Tunki Rooftop by Handshake, nestled within the luxurious Casa De Sierra Nevada, a Belmond Hotel, owned by LVMH in the heart of enchanting San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Handshake Speakeasy Mexico City, renowned as one of the “World’s 50 Best Bars,” is the creative force behind Tunki Rooftop’s captivating mixology. We feel strongly that this recipe will captivate your readers and inspire bucket list travel.

We are excited to share an exclusive recipe from Tunki Rooftop titled Made in Oaxaca, crafted by Eleazar Barbosa. Made in Oaxaca is a simple, elegant, and savory cocktail that can be easily prepared at every home with the below ingredients: 

·       2 oz of mezcal

·       10ml of natural syrup

·       2 cucumber thin slices

·       5 fresh mint leaves previously washed

·       5 ml absinthe liqueur

·       1 thin slice of habanero chili for decoration, make sure to take the seeds out

·       Ice

·       All the ingredients are placed in a shaker. Mix with strong movements. Before serving in the glass, use a strain and use a strainer and strain twice. Once the liquid is ready, serve it in a clean cupetini glass.

This cocktail pays homage to the mezcal-producing region of Oaxaca, with its simple elegance and bold flavors. Eleazar himself shares, “Working with an ingredient like the habanero is the way to share a little bit of Mexico with the world. The habanero’s flavors blend exceptionally well with the other ingredients, though serrano or jalapeño peppers can be used as a substitute.” We would love for Tunki Rooftop or the Made in Oaxaca cocktail recipe to be included in any must-visit destination or cocktail roundups your publication may be working on.

This remarkable establishment is celebrated for its artfully crafted cocktails and intricate flavor profiles that push the boundaries of innovation. The captivating ambiance, exceptional mixology, and breathtaking views make Tunki Rooftop an ideal addition to any bucket list this summer. Please find images here and press release here.
