MOSTO TEQUILA PARTY AT SHELTER FOR CINCO DE MAYO!
Shelter at The Roost
5:00pm - 7:00pm

Join us at Shelter as we welcome Mosto Tequila and Mosto's Co-Founder, Nelson Benavides! Nelson will be at Shelter from 5-7 pm pouring tastes of all three of his Tequila expressions and talking about their line of estate grown, family owned, additive free tequilas from the Los Altos region of Jalisco.

Nelson will be pouring Mosto Blanco, Mosto Reposado, and their new Edicion Salvaje.
Mosto Edicion Salvaje is Mosto Tequila's still strength release, a 106 proof blanco tequila with no water added.

Additionally, guests at the bar can try a limited time taste of our Cucumber Strawberry Margarita with Mosto's Edicion Salvaje, with clarified cucumber and roasted strawberry for $12.

Mosto Tequila is a small-batch, modern tequila brand rooted in the highlands of Los Altos de Jalisco. Founded in 2022, it’s a collaboration between Mexican and U.S. hospitality professionals, built around a focus on craft production and cultural authenticity.

The tequila is made from 100% estate-grown blue agave and produced under NOM 1580 with master distiller Oscar Vázquez Camarena, emphasizing additive-free, clean expressions that highlight the natural character of the agave.

Overall, Mosto positions itself as a bridge between tradition and a newer, craft-driven tequila scene. They prioritize transparency, small-batch quality, and a bright, agave-forward profile.

Come taste these delicious tequilas tomorrow!
