The Day of the Dead is one of Mexico’s most emblematic traditions,
a celebration that honors those who are no longer with us physically but remain alive in our memory. During this time, families gather to prepare the altar of the dead, a space filled with symbolism and elements that connect the past with the present.
“Among marigolds, lit candles, and photographs, food and drinks that were enjoyed by the loved one are also placed.”
Because of this, it is not uncommon to find tequila on many altars. This drink, deeply linked to Mexican identity, becomes an offering that seeks to comfort the souls of those who return home for one night.
Tequila on the altar of the dead
Tequila also reflects life, celebration, and shared memories. In the agave fields of Jalisco, its production is an art that requires time, dedication, and respect for the land. That is why, when we place tequila on the altar of the dead, we also honor the cultural heritage that connects us to our roots.
A gift for those who return
On the other hand, the Day of the Dead invites us to toast our ancestors. By raising a glass, we share their memory and continue the tradition they once lived. Each sip is a tribute to the family history we continue to write.
Finally, including tequila on the altar of the dead is not only a gift for those who return; it is also a reminder that love and memories endure. At each celebration, we toast to their lives, our own, and everything that unites us.
