Cantina Laredo has a tradition of celebrating Dia de los Muertos with special cocktails and commemorative giveaway glasses. This year’s collection is available Oct. 10 through Nov. 6 and includes the Berry Awakening and the Spice of Life. The creative cocktails are served in Cantarito clay cups for guests to take home, while supplies last.

The Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) is a Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico, particularly in the Central and South regions, and by people of Mexican heritage elsewhere. The multiday holiday (October 31 – November 2) focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have departed to help support their spiritual journey.

As a part of their celebration, people go to cemeteries to be with the souls of the departed and build private altars containing their favorite foods and beverages, as well as photos and memorabilia, of the departed. The intent is to encourage visits by the departed so that their souls will hear the prayers and the comments of the living directed to them. Area Cantina Laredo locations will create commemorative altars to recognize the holiday.

The cocktails feature Espolòn Tequila and other fresh ingredients including:

• Berry Awakening - Espolòn Blanco Tequila, Reàl Blackberry Puree, Domaine de Canton Ginger Liqueur, fresh lemon juice topped & served with Red Bull Yellow Edition.
• Spice of Life - Espolòn Reposado Tequila, Reàl Pineapple Puree, cayenne simple syrup, fresh lemon & lime juices.

 The cocktails sell for $13 apiece. For beer lovers, the restaurant will also feature VooDoo Ranger Juicy Haze IPA for $6.50.

The offer is good at participating locations:  

4546 Belt Line Road, Addison, (972) 458-0962    

1125 Legacy Drive, Frisco, (214) 618-9860
