Show Notes

Our first podcast on the road! This week we recorded in the Caramiya Pop-Up Shop located in heart of Maui’s art district: Wailuku, Hawaii 
🌺 
Join us as we sit down with Pop-up Shop owner, Caramiya Davies-Reid. Caramiya loves to share the wonder of the creative process and shed light on how things go from concept to something tangible. Her Pop-up shop features embroidery, beading, hand dyed and one-of-a-kind apparel, paintings, and more.

For cocktail this episode, Alexis presents The Tepache Kid, created by mixologist Alex Valencia in NYC, from Guadalajara Mexico. Inspired by Caramiya’s love for travel and fermented juices, Alexis choose to make this cocktail consisting of Tequila, homemade tamarind syrup, angostura bitters, and pineapple.

We learn the range of styles to make Tepache across Mexico’s regions, and background on how Mexico and America preference for tequila drinking has evolved. We also touch on some other topics including a fruiting Bromeliad, Tequila Superpowers, and Alexis’s friendship “type.”
