The symbol
The skull of Mictlantecuhtli
This is the skull of MICTLANTECUHTLI: Lord of the Underworld. Its colours and shapes are drawn from the legendary Oaxacan tapestries of Teotitlán, coveted worldwide.
Alongside the skull of our god are two heads of xoloitzcuintle, the dogs that accompany the dead as they cross the underworld.
The Zapotec legend of Mictlantecuhtli still echoes in Mitla, the city of the dead — our inspiration for the logo.

Rituals
The best way to drink it
Because of its distinctive flavour, mezcal can be a little demanding for certain palates. Some people drink it neat with a few orange wedges, while others prefer it in a cocktail that brings out its flavour. Either way, drinking mezcal is a very particular journey of flavour that will not leave you indifferent.
Whether neat with orange wedges or in a cocktail that lifts its flavour, the journey mezcal gives you is singular, and the experience 9 RITOS offers is incomparable.
Our audience is aimed at travellers who have had different culinary experiences, with an interest in online shopping and social media.
