What I’m Drinking Now: Rodrigo Sanchez

06/08/2015

by: The Staff

Rodrigo Sanchez is a bartender at Simon’s Restaurante in Mexico City.

Cocktail culture is starting to get more relevant in Mexico. This has been helped along by the continued rise in popularity of mezcal, gin and vodka.

My vodka cocktail of the moment, the Belvedere Acapulco aperitif, has a very fresh essence: It is the essence of the beach. The drink is named after— and inspired by—one of the most important beaches in all of Mexico. It is a very tropical cocktail; Latins like sweet flavors.
