Both MEX 1 Coastal Cantina locations – on St. Andrews Blvd in West Ashley and on Middle St. on Sullivan's Island – will host free Dia de los Muertos parties on Thursday, November 2nd at 6 pm.
Guests can enjoy Day of the Dead face painting, live music, $5 Exotico Margaritas, and $3 drafts of Pacificos, Negra Modelos, and Victorias.
In addition to the drink specials, MEX 1 will offer two staff-created beverages that are among the four finalists in the 2018 Charleston Wine + Food Official Cocktail Competition being held as part of the Souls + Saints: Dia de los Muertos event, on Wednesday, November 1st.
Morgan Hurley, MEX 1's beverage director, created “A Noble Hospitality,” featuring Don Julio Reposado tequila, Aperol aperitif, Punt e Mes vermouth, Pineapple Juice, Vida Mezcal (rinse), and dehydrated orange (garnish). Sullivan Island Bar Manager Shannon Standhart came up with “MisBEEhavin,” which features Don Julio tequila, Barenjager honey-flavored liqueur, agave nectar, and lemon zest & sugar on the rim. Both cocktails will be available at MEX 1's two locations.
