Copitas de Sol: A Spirited Mixer

August 9, 2026, 1:00 pm National Museum of Mexican Art

Join the Museum’s Auxiliary Board at Copitas de Sol produced in partnership with S.A.C.R.E.D. We will explore the world of premium agave spirits such as mezcal, tequila, and raicilla. Plus, we’ll be pairing agave spirit brands with some of Chicago's best restaurants. Each team will serve small bites, petite cocktails, and neat pours. We’ll also have plenty of craft brews on deck just for you.

Copitas de Sol offers two sessions with two different vibes. Pick the one that best suits you and your friends!

Agave Tales: 1:00 pm – 3:30 pm
Enjoy extra time at Copitas de Sol in a setting that allows for laid-back one-on-one conversations with brand ambassadors, restaurateurs, and bartenders. This is a great chance to discover your favorite agave expressions or the inspiration behind the delicious cocktails and small bites. Finish up with a guided tour of the exhibition Nuestras Historias: Stories of Mexican Identity from the Permanent Collection.

Agave Vibes: 4:30 pm – 6:30 pm
This upbeat session is for those who want to enjoy the event in a livelier atmosphere. All the great brand ambassadors and restaurants will be ready to welcome you, along with a live DJ and dancing.
