Hola! I'm Caro Griffin 👋🏻

I'm a mezcal sommelier and traveling bartender obsessed with the stories behind our favorite drinks.

I discovered a love of good spirits and great hospitality while spending a decade traveling to +30 countries. It taught me that there is no better place to learn about a place and its people than from inside a local bar.

My experiences in dive bars, fancy speakeasies, and everything in between taught me two things:

• Good drinks are better when you know the story behind them.
• And a little hospitality goes a long way!

I will forget specific drinks and bars with time, but I always remember the origin story of my (now favorite) Finnish whisky, the bartenders who wrote down their favorite ramen stands in Fukuoka, and the ones who taught me local slang over shots of tequila.

My goal is to always be this kind of bartender—one who serves you a great drink but also helps you discover a new favorite spirit, and makes your night a memorable one.

What I Do Exactly:

• Make a podcast about the best craft spirits
• Host public mezcal tastings and cocktail tours in CDMX
• Run a pop-up cocktail bar in CDMX (and occasionally other cities)
• Host private tastings for teams and other groups (both virtually and in-person)
• Design signature cocktail menus for engaged couples & birthday boos
• Bartend private parties
