Two cocktails, two traditions—both honoring Mexico’s rich cultural heritage.
At Nobu Hotel Los Cabos, the Nobu Mexican Coffee reimagines café de olla, the spiced coffee beloved in the colder months and on Día de los Muertos, with a touch of tequila, yogurt foam, and caramel. Meanwhile, at Rosewood San Miguel de Allende, Head of Bars Ana Paula Ulrich crafted Alma y Ceniza, a soulful nod to Pan de Muerto, the symbolic sweet bread of the holiday, translating its orange- and anise-kissed flavors into a refined, smoky sip. Together, these drinks bring the warmth, symbolism, and flavors of Día de los Muertos into the glass.
