Copitas de Sol: A Spirited Mixer


August 9, 2026 1:00pm - 6:30pm

Join the Museum’s Auxiliary Board at Copitas de Sol, produced in partnership with S.A.C.R.E.D. We will explore the world of premium agave spirits such as mezcal, tequila, and raicilla. Plus, we’ll be pairing agave spirit brands with some of Chicago's best restaurants. Each team will serve small bites, petite cocktails, and neat pours. We’ll also have plenty of craft brews on deck just for you.

Copitas de Sol offers two sessions with two different vibes. Pick the one that best suits you and your friends!
