Luxury travel inspiration from the Asia-Pacific region

A smiling mural of Mayahuel, the Aztec goddess of agave, greets devotees at this temple to mezcal—tequila’s grittier, smokier, and infinitely more flavorful cousin. Owner and agave evangelist Jay Khan travels regularly to Oaxaca in southern Mexico to source the 90-plus artisanal mezcals arranged behind the counter; he even stocks a few bottles that have previously never been exported. Anyone who’s in the mood for something light and bubbly should try Coa’s house-fermented pineapple and cinnamon tepache. Another standout? The Caffeinated Negroni, which mixes gin, mezcal, and coffee-infused vermouth to deliver a rich, smoky hit. If you’ve kept things simple and ordered a mezcal, just remember the golden rule—sip, don’t shoot. —Adam White
