our Story
— mysterious passionate love —
Doña Sarita, the embodiment of free spirit, illuminates the authentic flavors and esoteric culture of Oaxaca, Mexico. We bridge the ancient traditions of indigenous Mesoamerican civilization to our modern-day community for a visionary, passionate twist on spirit, and desire.
Inspired by one man's love for his muse, Sarita. He saw her, fell in love at first sight and the mythic romance never ended. Doña Sarita: you get a taste of her fiery heart with every sip, and it makes everyone want more.
Process
Made from the heart of the espadin agave, Doña Sarita is a meticulously hand-crafted mezcal, produced in the Mexican state of Oaxaca.
The traditional, centuries-old production method ensures a purity of process that begins with the succulent agave plant: a source of both nutriment and medicine for native peoples of Oaxaca.
The "piña" (heart) of the plant is roasted in pit ovens over hot rocks for nearly three days. After a period of cooling, the piñas are crushed; the juice is then extracted by mule-powered mills. Once pulped, the agave begins its fermentation in exposed wooden vats. Smell and taste is our master distiller’s only instruments to decide whether fermentation is finished. Upon fermentation, the spirit is poured into copper tubs to be distilled over heat of up to 176 F/ until perfection of flavor, clarity and purity is achieved.
Flavor
Doña Sarita is delicate mezcal, giving a clean, rich, smooth and sensual flavor. The subtlety of the herbs and the discrete smokey finish make our mezcal a world-class drink. Enjoy the exquisite quality and authentic taste of Doña Sarita alone, with a piece of orange, or in a signature cocktail from some of our favorite mixologists.
