From October 15 to November 3, Porfirio’s celebrates one of Mexico’s most emblematic traditions with a distinctive and sophisticated touch: the Ode to Death. This event pays homage to the Day of the Dead, a holiday that honors our ancestors with a unique culinary proposal that combines tradition and modernity. During these weeks, our diners will be able to enjoy a special menu that includes the traditional pan de muerto reinvented and an exclusive cocktail that captures the essence of the holiday.
The Meaning of Day of the Dead
The Day of the Dead is one of the most representative celebrations of Mexican culture. Every year, the homes and streets of Mexico are filled with colorful altars, papel picado, cempasúchil flowers, candles and ofrendas to honor departed loved ones. The mixture of aromas, flavors and colors symbolizes the union of the spiritual and the earthly, turning each altar into a work of art full of meaning.
A Unique Pan de Muerto at Porfirio’s
To pay homage to this tradition, at Porfirio’s we have created a special version of pan de muerto. This delicacy is made with orange zest and orange blossom essence, which gives it a distinctive aroma and flavor. It is filled with Nutella® pastry cream, and sprinkled with orange flower sugar and cinnamon, while a chocolate skull decorated with gold dust makes it a dessert that not only pleases the palate, but also the eye.
Xibalba: The Cocktail that Pays Homage to the Beyond
In addition to the exquisite pan de muerto, the Ode to Death at Porfirio’s includes a Mexican mixology proposal that reflects the essence of the Day of the Dead. The Xibalba cocktail, created in collaboration with Tequila Herradura, is a drink that fuses emblematic flavors with a touch of elegance. This cocktail is prepared with Tequila Herradura Reposado, Frangelico, a mango concentrate, natural syrup, and garnished with a marigold flower, creating a sensory experience that celebrates life and death in every sip.
