Why We’re Thrilled to Feature Mijenta at Our Next Art of the Cocktail Event
At Art of the Cocktail, we’re not just about great drinks—we celebrate craftsmanship, sustainability, and the stories behind every pour. That’s why we’re incredibly excited to feature Mijenta Tequila at our upcoming event. Mijenta is more than a tequila brand; it’s a movement rooted in community, sustainability, and a passion for exceptional flavor.
A Name That Speaks to Community
Inspired by the phrase “mi gente”—meaning “my people”—Mijenta embodies a collective spirit, bringing together individuals who value connection, celebration, and care for the planet. This ethos is reflected in every step of their process, from sourcing to distilling to packaging. With Mijenta, life is better shared.
Craftsmanship Perfected by a Master Distiller
Mijenta’s exquisite profile is the work of celebrated Master Distiller Ana Maria Romero, whose expertise brings a unique touch to every bottle. Triple distilled for purity and balance, Mijenta's Reposado—which we’ll be showcasing—offers:
Flavor Profile: Notes of cooked agave, honey, vanilla, and cocoa nibs, with a long and generous finish.
Aged Elegance: Up to 6 months in a blend of American white oak, French oak, and French acacia casks, creating a complex yet approachable profile for those who enjoy a lightly oaked tequila.
Sustainability at the Heart of Mijenta
Mijenta isn’t just about making tequila; it’s about making a difference. As the first B-Corp certified tequila, Mijenta sets a new standard for sustainability in the spirits industry.
Key Initiatives Include:
Eco-Friendly Packaging: Labels made from agave waste, bottles crafted with recycled glass, and boxes using post-consumer recycled paper or Forest Stewardship Council-certified materials.
Carbon Neutrality: Achieved through partnerships with ClimatePartner and initiatives to offset carbon emissions.
Preserving Agave Biodiversity: By allowing 10% of their agave plants to flower (quiote), Mijenta fosters genetic diversity and ensures a stronger future for this essential crop.
Amplifying Impact Through Partnerships
Mijenta’s dedication to sustainability extends beyond tequila production. They’ve partnered with organizations such as:
Women’s Earth Alliance: Empowering women to lead environmental and social change.
The Ocean Foundation: Protecting marine ecosystems.
Whales of Guerrero: Supporting marine conservation and local communities.
By choosing Mijenta, you’re not only enjoying a premium tequila but also contributing to meaningful global initiatives.
What Makes Mijenta Perfect for the Holidays?
Mijenta’s flavor profile and ethos make it a standout choice for the festive season. Its notes of honey and vanilla complement classic holiday flavors like cinnamon, clove, and citrus, making it a versatile base for cocktails. At our December Art of the Cocktail event, we’ll showcase Mijenta in seasonal drinks designed to highlight its warmth and complexity.
