November 2, 4:00 P.M. Cocktail Class: Dia de los Muertos with Best New U.S. Cocktail Bar Superbueno

Celebrate the Day of the Dead With a Hands-On Cocktail Class with Nacho Jimenez

25 11th Ave, New York, NY 10011, USA

Día de los Muertos is a Mexican holiday where families come together to honor their late loved ones and are said to reunite with their spirits. This is a happy occasion to pay homage to family and one’s heritage. Typically, ofrendas (altars) are built with photos of the departed, flowers (including marigolds), and their favorite food and drink.
In celebration of this festive holiday, guests will have the chance to experience chef-forward cocktails from Mexican American cocktail bar Superbueno, recently named the best new cocktail bar in the U.S by the Tales of the Cocktail Foundation 2024. In a hands-on class led by co-owner Nacho Jimenez, participants will enjoy a mole negroni (mole is one of the most traditional food items left on the ofrenda), a mushroom margarita, and a salted plum and tamarind milk punch accompanied by Superbueno’s standout guacamole and birria grilled cheese sandwiches.

General Admission: $75
