RAMBLING SPIRITS
Mezcal lovers with a background in photojournalism and mixology. We used to call London and Oakland our home, but since 2013 we have had a base in Oaxaca, Mexico. Mezcal has been at the heart of our experience, using this as a starting point to hike out and explore the state. We have worked with many distilleries, helping to develop brand identity, while acting as ambassadors for the spirit. We share our knowledge and passion through unique, guided experiences. Proud to collaborate with experienced hikers and local businesses to enhance what we offer.
Please get in touch so we can personalise your trip with us.

Brooks fell in love with mezcal while opening the agave centric venue, Comal (Berkeley, CA), in 2010.

His spirits experience includes bartending (and opening) high-volume, craft cocktail bars/lounges in the Bay Area, designing personalised cocktails for and bartending weddings (of 150+), managing Barrio restaurant in Bend, OR.
