The festival, which traditionally lasts for two days, sees groups gather for celebrations and parties in honour of those who have entered into the spiritual world.

To make sure everyone is in the spirit, The Basement will be working with El Jimador tequila to create a range of exclusive cocktails such as the Deja Brew with jalapeño infused El Jimador Blanco, as well as the Jalisco Nightcap, with fiery Ancho Reyes Chile liqueur.

The traditional Mexican drink, El Diablo or Devils Drink will also be available for guests to try.

General Manager, Kat Stanley-Whyte says, “We always look forward to celebrating the traditional Mexican holiday, Day of The Dead - it’s one of our favourite days of the year at Basement.
