It seems that everyone in the global bar industry is talking about Mexico.

Whether it’s the ever-increasing interest in Mexican spirits or the recent announcement that 50 Best Bars, North America, will be going down to Mexico for its 2nd award ceremony, Mexico is the country on everyone’s radar.

So we thought we’d head down to one of Mexico City’s most innovative venues, Rayo Cocktail Bar and talk to its Creative Director, Tito Pin-Perez, about the bar scene south of the border.

Of course, we couldn’t miss the opportunity to ask Tito to make us one of the bar’s most popular cocktails, the Gallito – a wonderfully fruity mix of Mezcal, dark Rum, Campari, Lime Juice, as well as Pineapple Juice, Orange Juice and a tropical oleo.
