This episode of The Buildout is brought to you by Farmer’s Gin. It’s brought to you by the same amazing people that brought you Michter’s, and it’s actually the gin that I use at home for my Martinis. It’s clean, crisp, unfussy — perfect for building any kind of Martini that you would like. Farmer’s Gin is made in Idaho at the first organic distillery in the United States. It’s made using Regenerative Organic Certified grain that’s grown on a family farm. It has notes of juniper, elderflower, lemongrass, coriander, rose, and angelica root. It is good for the planet, and great for Martinis. You can learn more by following Farmer’s Gin on their socials — @FarmersGin — or heading to farmersgin.com to learn more.
Nowadays, cocktail culture is alive and well in Mexico. But that wasn’t the case when José Luis León entered the hospitality industry. León first discovered the world of cocktails by learning how to make them from bartending courses, magazines, and books. He worked his way from bartender assistant jobs and hotel gigs to eventually land as the founding bartender at Licorería Limantour — now one of Mexico City’s best cocktail bars — in 2011.
On today’s episode of “The Buildout,” Adam sits down with José Luis to trace the story of the bar’s rise to renown. They start with the opening of Licorería Limantour before Mexico City’s recent tourism boom and continue to discuss how the city became one of the world’s premier cocktail destinations.
