What is London Mezcal Week?

London Mezcal Week

Since its birth three years ago, the brainchild of London duo Melanie Symond (QuiQuiRiQui) and Thea Cummings (Founder of Dangerous Don) has become an impassioned reveller, toddling merrily about extolling the virtues of the iconic Oaxaca spirit.

The week-long celebration has this year been confined to TT Liquor in Shoreditch for a focused schedule of events.

What’s On?
