In Oaxaca the bar means mezcal first, and the best rooms treat the spirit like wine, with single-village and single-maker pours. Sabina Sabe on 5 de Mayo and Selva Oaxaca on Macedonio Alcala in the Centro historico mix mezcal into a serious cocktail list, while Mezcaloteca on Reforma and In Situ on Vicente Guerrero run tasting-led mezcalerias. For a different tradition, Pulqueria Jalatlaco on Aldama pours pulque in Barrio de Jalatlaco.
