Mexican Vodka: Between Tradition and Innovation

Vodka is one of the most recognized spirits in the world. Its history dates back several centuries to Eastern Europe, where it began as a rustic beverage made from grains or potatoes. Over time, distillation technology perfected its purity, eliminating impurities and producing a crystal-clear, smooth liquor that soon became a cultural symbol in Russia, Poland, and Ukraine.
In the 19th century, vodka achieved great popularity in these regions, and during the Soviet era, its production was standardized to consolidate iconic brands. Today, the process is well-defined: raw materials such as grain, potatoes, or sugarcane are fermented; it is distilled several times to achieve greater purity; it is filtered (often with activated carbon) to soften textures; and finally, it is diluted with quality water before bottling.
Thanks to its versatility, vodka has become a mainstay of international cocktails, the basis for countless classic and modern drinks. But what many may not realize is that this drink, born in Europe, has found fertile ground for reinvention in Mexico.

Vodka in Mexico
Although thoughts of vodka immediately bring to mind Russia and Poland, today Mexico is also home to distilleries that have decided to invest in this spirit. Leveraging local ingredients, artisanal processes, and the richness of our terroir, they have emerged with top-quality offerings that proudly compete on the international scene.
Among them, in Revés Distillery , we have created a vodka that reflects Mexican purity and innovation: Drako Vodka .
Drako Vodka: Pure Corn, Purely Mexican
Crafted with a single mission— to be pure —Drako Vodka is made from 100% Mexican corn and is distinguished by a meticulous technical process that ensures smoothness and character. As Luvinabar describes it, Drako offers “A light corn aroma, clean flavor with a hint of vanilla.”
- Five distillations guarantee a superior level of refinement.
- Double filtration with activated coconut carbon and a 0.45 micron filter polishes its texture, highlighting its most delicate nuances.
- 100% natural and with no added sugar , Drako respects both the grain and the consumer who seeks authenticity.
The result is a crystal-clear and balanced vodka, with a whisper of sweet corn, a hint of vanilla, and a clean finish that makes it ideal both for sipping neat or for elevating any classic cocktail.
A Mexican Spirit in a Global Distillate
Drako Vodka proves that vodka isn't exclusive to Eastern Europe. Mexico, with its agricultural wealth and the mastery of its distillers, can create a world-class product with a unique seal. It's more than a spirit: it's proof that innovation and Mexican terroir can transform a global beverage into something profoundly our own.
