margarita express

The journey began with a vision to bring people together, share our passion for education, and spark creativity around tequila, Mexican gastronomy, and the art of bartending.

SEATED teamed up with the talented crew from El Copitas Bar for a road trip across Eastern Europe with Margarita Express 2.0 — a traveling bar that would change the way people saw agave spirits and Mexican culture, sponsored by Patrón Tequila.

We traveled through Hungary, the Czech Republic, Poland, Romania, Belarus, and Russia, creating unforgettable experiences, from masterclasses on tequila to bartender competitions that pushed participants to think outside the box. Each stop was a celebration of culture, as we shared the stories behind Mexican spirits and explored how they could inspire new trends in cocktail making.

Along the way, we facilitated workshops, tasting sessions, and educational talks, connecting local bartenders with global ideas. The tour was more than just teaching; it was about fostering collaboration, creating lasting memories, and showing how culture can truly shape what’s in the glass.

What we created was more than a series of events—it was a journey that left a mark on local bar scenes. By introducing innovative cocktail recipes, celebrating seasonal local ingredients, and sharing the essence of Mexican hospitality, we strengthened the connection between bar community and the spirits they love. Through our travel diary, we shared the adventure with the world, keeping the spirit of exploration and education alive.

This is the essence of Seated: curating experiences that inspire, educate, and bring people together—one cocktail, one story at a time.
