This Sunday, the 2nd edition of the Festival of Mixology will take place in Playas de Rosarito, a branch of gastronomy that has been developing constantly during the last few years in Baja California.

The Committee of Tourism and Conventions (COTUCO) of Rosarito invites you to attend the 2do. Festival de Mixología this November 20, where a competition will be held where the 10 best mixologists of the cities of Tijuana and San Diego, California will participate. Cocktails will be rated by judges Marco Amador, Jorge Huerta, Edgar Torres, Marco Mejía, and Antonio Villicaña.

With a cost of $30 dollars per person, this event will take place at the Hotel Las Rocas gardens from 1 PM to 9 PM. Your entry will include a welcoming cocktail, as well as drink tastings prepared by mixologists, and snacks by renowned restaurants Kraken and Hacienda 43.

Besides mixology, gastronomic samples will also be provided and there will be musical performances and several artistic shows to make of this event a delightful evening, which will be enlivened by the presence of international DJ, Claudia Sánchez, a Colombia native.

The invitation to this event is directed to all Baja Californian residents, as well as people living on the other side of the border so that they can come and enjoy a beautiful Sunday while celebrating Mexican Revolution Day.

President of COTUCO in Playas de Rosarito, César Rivera González, has highlighted mixology as something that has recently become an important part of the gastronomic offer of Baja California’s different destinations, with Playas de Rosarito, being the city that has mainly taken this activity as a specialty in its different touristic establishments.

Mixology uses techniques and the infrastructure of molecular gastronomy to create cocktails derived from molecules. According to Joaquín Perez, founder of Sociedad de Mixólogos de Playas de Rosarito, a mixologist is the person who is able to create “the anatomy of a cocktail”, including its pulps, its bitters, its infusions, and its syrups, as well as the mixture.

If you’re interested in attending the Festival of Mixology you can buy your tickets at Hotel "Las Rocas", where the event will take place.
