Mezcal & Music: Eléctrico’s Artistic Coalition

Eléctrico Mezcal is the joint dream of Kathleen Blackwell and Manuel Antonio Cirino. Their collaboration works because they respect each other’s art forms. Kathleen is a musician and an entrepreneur.

Their collaboration works because they respect each other’s art forms. Kathleen is a musician and an entrepreneur who has experimented with various musical forms, from classical piano to alt rock. Her boundless curiosity about world musical culture led her to Oaxaca and, through that, to Mezcal and Cirino.

Cirino is a third-generation mezcalero, but unlike others who make good, earthy, head-banging hooch for their neighbors, Cirino has higher ideals and seeks a partner who can help him raise the bar of mezcal magicians and attract international acclaim.

These two artists have found a harmonious way of preserving the processes that make mezcal and music such uniquely human expressions. At the same time, they share a passion for pushing boundaries and pursuing perfection.

Eléctrico Mezcal is borne out of that respect and sense of adventure. It is no ordinary mezcal. It is the spark of life. Feel the glow of Eléctrico.
