It comes from a talk of a bartender behind the bar and two passionate food, wine, mezcal and hospitality lovers.
In choosing the name The Moon Shift, we honor the powerful influence of the moon on the natural world— especially its impact on mezcal production.
The Moon Shift is a tribute to this nocturnal life: All of our friends in bars and hospitality around the world who craft cocktails under the same moon, the bats who start their pollination as the night falls, and the mezcal that, like the moon, leaves its textures, colors, and craters as a lasting impression. The Mezcal shifts with the night, bringing a connection between nature, craft, and the mark we all leave behind.
Luna and ink—textures of the night, hand-pressed in Oaxaca. Bat shadows in black ink, etched by hand, agave-born. Crafted in the darkness, where moon meets artisanal art. Textured like the moon, carved in Oaxaca, kissed by agave. Handmade in night’s embrace—art, agave, and lunar shadows. Etched in black, where bats fly and agaves root, crafted by moonlight. From the moon’s texture to the artist’s hands—Oaxaca in every stroke. Darkness, ink, and agave—woven by hand, sealed by the moon. Where black ink meets the moon, hand-carved by Oaxaca’s finest. Lunar textures, artisan craft—each label tells Oaxaca’s night story.
