With Mexico's Dia de los Muertos coming this Thursday, get your glad rags on and sink a tequila or two at our pick of London's events...
From 9pm until 3am on Friday 3rd, El Pastor Soho’s basement bar, Mezcaleria Colmillo will host the next in the ‘Sonidos’ party series, in partnership with Tequila Herradura and in honour of Dia de Muertos. Mezcaleria Colmillo is beyond excited to have Mexican DJ and singer Nota Culichi flying in to play her European debut, for one night only. Hailing from Culiácan, Sinaloa, Nota Culichi is known for her unique and charismatic style, as well as pioneering the hybrid ‘Perreo Norteño’ genre. She will be supported by Rufus (Coop Audio) who returns to London after a recent stint in Mexico City, known for his mash-ups of Reggaeton, Cumbia, Afrobeats and Baile Funk, alongside Movimientos DJs. Expect a night of dancing, and music with a notable norteña influence, and plenty of saludos to the departed.
Tickets are £15, include a welcome shot of Tequila Herradura and are available via Resident Advisor here.
Acclaimed East London bar, Silverleaf at Pan Pacific London, has partnered with multi-award-winning Lost Explorer Mezcal to celebrate Dia De Muertos, turning this city hotspot into a vibrant party complete with a live Mariachi band and DJs and marking the start of a month-long exclusive The Lost Explorer menu at Silverleaf. Guests can expect an exclusive drinks offering featuring three cocktails using The Lost Explorer Mezcal’s earthy Espadín expression, including the thirst-quenching Cucumber Copal which brings out the complexity of The Lost Explorer Mezcal Espadín by mixing it with cucumber and tarragon.
Reservations can be made online here.
Palm House, Victoria’s vibrant bar and restaurant have collaborated with Tequila Rose to throw a party on Thursday night, transforming the newly-renovated bar into a fluorescent fiesta, with a kaleidoscope of patterns at every turn. It wouldn’t be a Mexican celebration without Tequila Rose, so those who book in advance will be rewarded with a complimentary glass to toast a night filled with culture, camaraderie and celebrations. In line with the celebrations, Palm House’s signature cocktail menu favours tequila and mezcal, with guests able to choose between a Passionfruit Mezcalita to Little Havana or Flor de Jalisco! A full range of wines and beers will also be available on the night to quench any thirst.
