Mark September 9 on your calendar: Chupito Cocteleria, the Michelin Bib Gourmand-recognized Mexican spot known for its cocktail program, is hosting an exclusive one-night dinner built entirely around mezcal.
The evening centers on Los Siete Misterios, an award-winning mezcal producer, with Karina Mair — the brand’s Lead Advisor for Canada — on hand to guide guests through its range of expressions. It’s less a regular dinner service and more a guided exploration, the kind of event built for people who want to actually understand what’s in the glass, not just drink it.
Why Mezcal Deserves the Spotlight
Mezcal has spent years living in tequila’s shadow in North American bars, even though it’s arguably the more complex spirit — rooted in centuries-old, often small-batch, family-run distilling traditions across Oaxaca and beyond, with flavour profiles that shift dramatically based on the agave variety and the way it’s roasted. An evening dedicated to unpacking that, guided by someone whose actual job is understanding the category, is a real chance to learn something most bar menus never bother explaining.
Pairing that kind of deep-dive with a kitchen that’s already earned Michelin recognition raises the stakes in the right way — this isn’t a marketing gimmick tacked onto a regular Tuesday, it’s a genuine collaboration between people who care about the craft on both sides of the table.
Planning to Go
This is billed as exclusive and one-night-only, so expect limited seating. If you’re the kind of person who reads a cocktail menu more carefully than the food menu, this is the kind of Vancouver dining event worth building a Wednesday night around.
