The week-long activation is serving up more than just good vibes. Think a dedicated specials menu, built entirely around Agave Lux’s top-tier lineup of Tequila, Mezcal, Raicilla, and Sotol. At the heart of it? The return of the crowd-favourite Tequila Daisy — a spicy, punchy little number blending NODO Reposado Tequilana, Mal Bien Espadin Mezcal, passionfruit, lime and a hit of mixed chillies. It’s fiery, fruity, and hands-down one of the best spicy margs you’ll find this side of Mexico.

And if sipping your way through Agave’s finest is more your style, they’ve got you covered with tasting flights designed to showcase the diversity and depth of agave spirits. Whether you’re a total newbie or a full-blown mezcal nerd, you’ll find something to love.

But the real showstopper? A ticketed Agave Spirit Masterclass, going down on Thursday 15 May from 7–9pm. Hosted by the one and only James Ausling of Agave Lux, this session dives deep into the world of premium agave — we’re talking eight spirits, roaming snacks, and a final cocktail to wrap things up. James knows his stuff (Daisy has had the pleasure of tasting with him before), and trust us — this is one of those experiences you’ll be bragging about for months.

It’s the first event of its kind in Geelong, and if you’ve even thought about getting into agave spirits, this is your golden (and slightly smoky) ticket.

Keen? Don’t sleep on it. These seats, much like their spicy margs, won’t last long.
