There will be special filtered coffees alongside their usual menu of classics like flat white, latte, or americano, and original creations such as iced huacatay latte and cold brew picosito. The food menu includes burritos, quesadillas, tacos, tortas, and handmade pastries — perfect for pairing with live music by Felices Pastores, a band that promises to fill the space with rhythm.

Where: Superí 430, Saavedra.

Mixtape, one of the city’s top bars for craft cocktails, is joining the tribute and welcoming a very special international guest: Mia Rossi, a renowned Brazilian bartender and leading figure in the Latin American bar scene. With nearly twenty years of experience and multiple awards, Rossi arrives in Buenos Aires to present two exclusive cocktails inspired by the memory and ritual of the Day of the Dead:

• Komorebi: a sophisticated blend of bourbon, sweet vermouth, sherry, and an umami touch from shiitake.

• Palomani: an elegant, refreshing drink with blanco tequila, dry vermouth, Campari, and grapefruit soda.

Both creations reflect Rossi’s artistic approach and sensitivity, turning each cocktail into a sensory experience that fuses art, flavor, and emotion.

With music, traditional altar decorations, and a ritualistic atmosphere, the experience promises to be a poetic and multisensory homage.
