ABOUT
Banhez creates these fruit distillates by wildly fermenting fresh mango for seven days before running them through an open-flame refrescadora still. This process captures the essence of a Mexican mango in peak season, with all its sweet, funky, and tropical notes. Last year, I saved this one by Jordan Hughes (@highproofpreacher) in hopes that I’d find a bottle of Banhez Mango Distillate. Fast forward a year—I finally got it. To quote Jordan, “I make plenty of drinks that don’t hit…but this one had me dancing by myself.” Cheers y’all!
