Gina Barbachano of Brujas emphasizes that their cocktails draw deeply from the traditions of Mexican curanderas, focusing on herbal ingredients and folk medicine rather than whimsical themes.
Bianca Pipa Bertoli reflects on how Brujas honors the heritage of herbalism in Mexico, highlighting how crucial it is to balance the use of these ingredients without leaning into fantasy.
Ivy Mix, co-owner of Leyenda, shares her excitement about collaborating with Brujas, mentioning the specialized nature of the ingredients they sourced for the event and the thriving Latin culture in Brooklyn.
Barbachano notes that while Brujas is inspired by the magical aspects of herbs, it’s essential to maintain a connection to their roots and avoid crossing into a fantastical realm.
