Nobody pitched us. We liked the gin, we liked the brand, and we wanted to work with it. Condesa is a Mexican gin, and it has two expressions we wanted to use separately: the classic one, and the prickly pear and orange blossom one. We built three cocktails with them.
Three routes, one starting point
Every drink leaves Mexico and lands somewhere else. The trip is the name of the cocktail. The menu is a boarding pass, with the cat as the passenger.
Mexico → Japan
Gin Condesa, umeshu, sake, peach, orange, quinine and sakura.
Mexico → Spain
Gin Condesa Prickly Pear & Orange Blossom, fino sherry, raspberry, tonka bean, cacao and citrus.
Mexico → Italy
Gin Condesa Prickly Pear & Orange Blossom, bergamot, Campari, orange and nitrogen.
All three are €15, alongside our regular menu.
And there is a second part
Condesa is helping us bring Sips to Valencia. On 16 October, two bartenders from the bar that was named the world’s best in 2023 work our counter for one night. This collaboration is part of how we make that happen. We wrote about it here: Sips at Gato Negro, 16 October.
How long it runs
The three cocktails are on the bar right now. It is a limited-time collaboration with no closing date announced, so a few weeks. If you want to make all three trips, come early.
Carrer de Císcar 26, bajo izq., Valencia. Open Wednesday to Monday from 19:00; closed on Tuesdays. Book a table.
