St Alma - Mextrade Agave Masterclass

St Alma in Freshwater invites those with a thirst for the creative and artisanal to a five-course degustation as Luis Vieyra and Maximo Martinez take you on a journey through Mexico. Designed to capture the essence of a coastal Mexican diner, Sea & Smoke will be an energetic degustation with hand-sourced spirits and house-made hot sauce.
 
A tequila-and-mezcal-focused menu will feature well-made tequilas, previously unavailable mezcals, and agave-based cocktails. We are fortunate to have one of Australia's leading agave spirit importers - Mextrade - curate and guide the menu of spirits personally. Along with tales of rich history, rural distilleries and in-depth discussions about agave will keep you occupied between courses.
 
The gastronomic experience offers agave lovers and amateurs alike the opportunity to explore the path past tequila. While both tequila and mezcal are made from agave, the primary difference between how each spirit tastes has to do with how the agave is roasted before it's left to ferment.

Expect copious amounts of tequila, mezcal, tunes and good times. Enjoy the company of friends and family for the evening while all your whims are catered for. The once-off Sea & Smoke agave degustation dinner is not to be missed.
