agave spirit flights
Ámbar Restaurante is excited to introduce the agave spirit flight program. Throughout the year, our knowledgeable team will select a limited-time menu of four tastings from our vast collection to allow you to learn more about their origin and variety.
Just as grapes are used to make wine, agave is the plant from which agave spirits are distilled. Agaves can be classified into six categories: tequila, mezcal, raicilla, Bacanora, pulque and Sotol.
Each month or so, we'll sample different spirits from specific regions or varietals such as Oaxaca, Chihuahua, Guerrero, San Luis Potosi etc., each highlighting unique flavors and aromas found only there.
