National Mezcal Day is every day at Madre!

@ivan_vasquez_ honors his Oaxacan heritage and has thoughtfully curated our collection of over 400 bottles— all of which follow our Leyes de Mezcal (Laws of Mezcal).

Every mezcal you sip, to the cocktails we pour, follow our self-imposed standards highlighted in our “Mezcal” story highlight!

Celebrate our Indigenous spirit at ALL Madre locations (Palms, Torrance, WeHo) with $9 Smokey Margaritas all day and Happy Hour until 7pm!

🌵Ensamble de Madrecuixe, Espadín, Jabalí
🔹Primitivo Vásquez Vasquez
🔹October 2020, Spring 2021 Release
🔹144 bottles

El mero mero Miahuateco. A rare stunner from @netaspirits. More info on this beautiful bottle below.

“In creating this small batch, Primitivo selected enough maguey to fill one 1200L sabino Montezuma cypress fermentation vat, attentively applying his knowledge and experience to every step of the process. He harvested equal parts capón and guía Madrecuixe and Espadín from two different parcels of nitrogen-rich black soil, as well as lesser amount of Jabalín - just nine piñas - from a rocky, white soil parcel.

While both the Espadín and Jabalín were harvested just five days before being roasted, Primitivo left the Madrecuixe to rest in the sun for 27 days before cooking them. Extended resting periods for Agave karwinskii types allows for a better breakdown of long cellulose chains that permit a more efficient conversion and extraction of sugars. The end result is a larger yield, and a presence of significantly more pronounced flavors of the Madrecuixe maguey.”

Our beautiful home, Oaxaca. The inspiration for all we do. Shot captured by @ivan_vasquez_ on his recent trip home.

Words below captured by @sylvmartins for the @infatuation_la, where he names us as a best Oaxacan restaurant in LA. We are humbled 😔🙌🏾

“Madre also makes great tamales, with their tamal de mole coming as large pieces of banana leaf-wrapped masa stuffed with juicy shredded chicken. The whole thing is then coated with ladles of rich mole negro that’s sweet, nutty, and a very satisfying matte color often found on G-Wagons we can’t afford.”

Me llamo Ivan Vasquez, and I am proud to be from Oaxaca, MX. I celebrate Latin Heritage Month as my Oaxacan culture is my connection with the past and my inspiration for the future. My heritage is a window into what our ancestors created for future generations. They worked so people like me would be moved and inspired to share our culture and heritage with the world. We are proud to partner with Perrier® Original and bring a touch of Oaxaca to your cocktails.

There’s a lot of politics about what constitutes mezcal, and most of it is BS. That’s why, while we’ll never put tequila on our menu, we proudly carry Siembra Valles Ancestral from Jalisco.

The project was conceived by @davidsurop and his love of history and a desire to know tequila from its roots. Siembra Valles Ancestral embraces abandoned ancestral methods, including the use of earthen pit ovens, hand-maceration, fermentation with bagasse in oak and brick, distillation in pine and copper, and the use of naturally, bat-pollinated agave.

“Between their rich, decadent mole and one of the largest mezcal collections in LA, there are a variety of ways a meal could go at this South Bay-based Oaxacan restaurant, but make sure yours involves tacos and memelas.” ✏️: @brantcox @sylvmartins
