The Bandida Mezcal Experience
Bandida Mezcal, a relatively new player in the world of agave spirits, has quickly earned a reputation for its high-quality, artisanal taste. Produced in the heart of Mexico, Bandida Mezcal is made using quality methods and focuses on sustainability. If you're new to this 'other' Mexican spirit, you will have heard of it's more recognisable 'brother' tequila.
With the same qualities, mezcal is distilled from the agave plant and has been known to not give you a hangover due to its purity.
The Mezcal Month cocktail curation consists of Dove of Mayfair, a refreshing and floral cocktail as well as Humo Verde which is a vibrant cocktail with hints of agave. They also have Aztlan Negroni which contains a rich spicy finish and Cafe Asoleo, which combines sherry and coffee for an energetic twist.
This month-long special at Smith & Whistle is a chance for both mezcal enthusiasts and those new to the spirit to discover the diverse flavours of this Mexican staple. If you can't decide we suggest you try them all!
The Location
Located just off the historic Park Lane on Piccadilly, Smith & Whistle is ideally positioned in the heart of London, and attached to the Sheraton Grand Park Lane. It's great for a stylish night out and it is less super fussy but still uber chic. Situated close to Bond Street, Mayfair, Hyde Park, and Green Park, it offers a convenient get away from a day of shopping or work. And they also happily welcome dogs if you want to bring your furry companion on a night out!
The Additions
While the cocktails are clearly the star of the show, Smith & Whistle also offers a selection of delicious food options that can be added to your cocktails to create a delightful dining experience. Pair your mezcal cocktail with classic modern British cuisine, including lobster rolls, fish, chicken curry and burgers, all designed to compliment your drinks.
If you're in the mood for small plates then their loaded fries menu or snacks may hit the spot and the bar’s food menu enhances the overall experience. Did we mention they also have a dog food menu? This includes a variation of classic doggy dishes including chicken breast, broccoli, sweet potato fries and even some dog beer to wash it all down with.
So, if you’re in London this month, whether as a visitor or a local, head over to Smith & Whistle for a mezcal-infused soiree. Salud!
