Dia de los Muertos!

Join Shmidt Spirits Distillery for a night that you will not forget!

Shmidt Spirits Distillery is proud to celebrate our Mexican heritage and our incredible craft spirits with our annual Dia de los Muetros party! We plan on celebrating the Day of the Dead like only Shmidt Spirits can. We’re pulling out all the stops to put on our best party yet, and you won’t want to miss it.

If you’ve met founder Arthur Shmidt, you know that there are two parts of his childhood in Jalisco, Mexico that come up most often: Dia de los Muetros, and Agua Fresca. Well get ready, because this November we’re putting our own personal spin on both! Special attractions include:

• Dia de los Muertos themed cocktails
• Mexican Deserts
• Ofrenda Table - so bring a photo of your loved one and place it on the table
• Music
• Costumes

The scent of marigolds fills the air, the sound of mariachi music echoes through the night, and the vibrant colors of papel picado dance in the breeze. It's that time of year again when we come together to celebrate and remember our loved ones who have passed on—Dia de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead.

Understanding Dia de los Muertos

Dia de los Muertos, also known as the Day of the Dead, is a deeply rooted Mexican holiday that pays homage to those who have departed from this world. Unlike many Western customs surrounding death, Dia de los Muertos is not a mournful occasion. Instead, it's a vibrant and joyful celebration of life, a time to honor and remember our loved ones while rejoicing in the circle of life and death.

The Heartbeat of the Evening: Music and Spirits

As you step into our distillery, you'll be greeted by the lively rhythms of mariachi bands and traditional Mexican music, creating an ambiance that's truly electrifying. To enhance the experience, we've crafted an array of Dia de los Muertos-themed cocktails that pay homage to the holiday's symbolism and flavors. Sip and savor the spirits while you dance the night away.

Costume Competition: Dress to Impress

One of the highlights of the evening is the Dia de los Muertos costume competition. Channel your inner Catrina or Catrin and don your most imaginative and elaborate costumes. Prizes await the best-dressed participants, so get ready to showcase your creativity and pay homage to the iconic skeletal figures that embody the spirit of this holiday.

Feast on Mexican Delights

No celebration is complete without mouthwatering food, and we've got you covered. A fantastic Mexican desert table will be provided. Enjoy learning about Die de los Muertos with some churros in hand.

Ofrenda Table: A Place for Remembrance

At the heart of our celebration lies an ofrenda table, a sacred space where you can pay your respects to your loved ones who have passed away. Feel free to bring photographs, mementos, or even write heartfelt notes to place on the ofrenda. It's a beautiful way to honor and remember those who are no longer with us.

Learn About the Rich Culture

In addition to the festivities, we encourage you to explore and learn about the history and cultural significance of Dia de los Muertos. We'll have informative displays and knowledgeable guides available to share insights into the customs, symbolism, and traditions surrounding this beloved holiday.
