¡Viva Agave!

Overview

Should margaritas be made with tequila or mezcal? It's a debate for the ages. You and your pals can settle it once and for all at Cloudland's one-night-only event. On Friday, May 17 the Crystal Palais is hosting a taste-off between Mexico's two most popular agave spirits: tequila and mezcal. 

Every ticket holder will receive four mini margaritas, plus a full-sized serving of their favourite cocktail. Two tipples will be made with Olmeca Altos Plata Tequila to hero its bold citrus notes — a classic marg served on the rocks and a Mandarin Paloma served with grapefruit soda. The other two drinks will showcase the complex, smoky notes of Del Maguey Vida Mezcal: an original mezcal margarita with chilli salt and a smoked pineapple and jalapeño version.

Elevate your evening with a sharing menu for an additional $35 per person, which features dishes like smoked aubergine with woodfired bread, cured meats with pickled chilli, local burrata and candied olives and wild mushrooms and taleggio arancini with truffle mayo. And the fun doesn't stop there — ticket holders will be entered into a draw to win a $500 Altos Tequila Fiesta hamper. 

 ¡Viva Agave! will take place from 6–8pm on Friday, May 17. To book your tickets, check out the website. All guests within the same group must be on the same package, with or without the grazing-style menu add-on. Minimum of two people on the dining menu. Total hamper prize value $500. The winner will be notified on the Monday after the event.
