Our take: Ravenswood’s floating gardens of flavor: Xochimilco brings ancient Aztec vibes to modern Chicago. Bring a bottle of tequila and drift away on a lake of mole.

Wine Pairing: Named after Mexico City's floating gardens, bring a crisp Sauvignon Blanc or a light Tempranillo. For bubbles, a Spanish Cava works well.

Beer Pairing: A tradicional Mexican beer like Victoria complements the flavors. For a craft option, try a Baja-style IPA or a horchata-inspired cream ale.

Spirits Pairing: Bring a bottle of mezcal like Alipús for complex cocktails. For variety, try a bottle of raicilla for a unique agave experience.
