Regional Spirits – Mezcal & Tequila
No journey through Mexico’s culinary landscape is complete without acknowledging the importance of its agave spirits, and Descanso LA places regional tequilas and mezcals at the core of its bar program. The cocktail menu features classic and creative drinks built around spirits from Jalisco, Oaxaca, and Guerrero—regions synonymous with heritage and distillation mastery. Try the Descanso Margarita, or sample one of the rotating Tequila Pairing Menus, where drinks like Doble Vida, Bad Hombre, or Cucumber + Sal are served alongside house favorites such as Ceviche Tropical, Carnitas Tacos, or Taquitos de Camarón. Whether you’re enjoying a flight of mezcal before a museum visit or winding down from your plancha meal with a handcrafted cocktail, each pour reflects a distinct terroir and cultural history. From barrel-aged añejos to smoky small-batch mezcals, Descanso’s bar celebrates the true regional spirits of Mexico—thoughtfully paired, expertly poured.
