The Spirit of Gracias Madre: All Agave, All the Time
Renowned for its contemporary Mexican cuisine with a plant-based twist, Gracias Madre is equally celebrated for its dedication to diffuser-free agave spirits and support for independent producers, creating an exceptional drinking experience.
Todo Agave, Todo el Tiempo
Gracias Madre's dedication to the agave plant is nothing short of a love affair. In their own words, "all agave, all the time" sets the tone for an exclusive selection of spirits that pay homage to tradition, craftsmanship and sustainability. This commitment echoes in every sip, making each cocktail a celebration of the diverse family of agave plants.
Diffusing the Myths
Gracias Madre proudly stands against the use of Diffuser Tequilas, recognizing the impact on both the environment and the artisans who craft these spirits. They strive try to educate their customers that traditional methods like Ancestral, Wood Oven, and Autoclave find favor, while the diffuser, a symbol of modernization, has chemical alterations that negatively impact both the spirit and the industry.
