The Holidays at Puesto: New Seasonal Dishes, Cocktails and Winter Beer
Puesto Mexican Artisan Kitchen & Bar is set to spread festive joy this holiday season with an array of new seasonal offerings, including a unique winter beer, a special gift card promotion, and a celebratory goodbye to 2023.
New Additions to the Winter Menu Delighting patrons with its modern Mexico City-inspired cuisine, Puesto has added a variety of new items to its menu. Highlights include the Turkey Mole Taco, a blend of braised Diestel turkey in mole negro, topped with Mexican crema, onion, and sesame seeds. Seafood lovers can relish the Ceviche Amarillo, a mix of local line-caught fish, bell pepper, habanero, citrus, jicama, carrots, avocado, and cilantro. Also featured is a Chilaquiles dish with Jidori chicken, salsa roja, Mexican crema, queso fresco, parmigiano-reggiano, and cilantro.
Delectable Holiday Desserts The dessert menu has been enhanced with festive treats like Fresas Con Crema, a concoction of meringue, mascarpone, fresh strawberries, and caramelized pistachios, and a Chocolate Chile Tart made from dark chocolate, hibiscus, and spiced ganache.
Craft Cocktails for the Season The craft bar program at Puesto, led by Bar & Spirits Creative Director Beau du Bois, introduces new cocktails. These include the Holiday Shopper, a mix of El Tequileño reposado tequila, Grand Marnier, hibiscus, ginger, cinnamon, and fresh lime, and a unique twist on Puesto’s famous frozen horchata, the Horchata Loca, available with El Tequileño Reposado tequila or Bacardi Ocho rum.
La Cabra: Puesto's Winter Beer La Cabra, the new winterbock beer, is a strong, full-bodied Mexican-style bock with 7.5% ABV. Brewed in Puesto Cervecería, San Diego, it combines German hops' spice with a dark toasted malt flavor, perfect for winter.
Holiday Gift Card Promotion Puesto's holiday promotion offers a bonus with each gift card purchase: buy a $100 gift card and receive a $20 gift card; buy a $250 gift card for a $60 gift card; and for a $500 gift card, get an additional $125 gift card.
A Farewell to 2023 Celebrate New Year's Eve at Puesto with a complimentary Mexican Candy Shot at 9 p.m., coinciding with New York City's ball drop. The shot, a blend of blanco tequila, chamoy, fresh lime, habanero, and watermelon, is a festive way to bid farewell to 2023.
