Discover the Cristalinos Festival 2026 at Harry’s
The Cristalinos Festival 2026 at Harry’s returns this November with a collection of spirits and signature cocktails that explore the different expressions of cristalino.
Available from November 1–30, 2026, this edition brings together four cocktails: Solstice, Savia, Alba, and Midnight. Each begins with a different cristalino spirit and introduces ingredients that shape its flavor, aroma, and character.
The festival also includes two tequila selections served as shots: Maestro Dobel Diamante 50 and Reserva de la Familia Cristalino.
Together, these six selections offer different ways to discover cristalino spirits, from their role in contemporary mixology to their individual character when served without additional ingredients.
From refreshing combinations with tropical fruit and cucumber to more pronounced notes of spice and bitterness, Harry’s explores cristalinos through both cocktails and traditional tequila service.
What makes a cristalino spirit different?
Cristalino spirits are known for their clear appearance, but their character involves more than their color.
In tequila, the process typically begins with an aged spirit that develops flavor through contact with wood. Filtration can then reduce or remove much of the color, resulting in a clearer appearance while retaining elements of the spirit’s original character.
However, not every cristalino follows exactly the same production process.
The category also extends beyond tequila, with expressions made from other spirits, including mezcal and whisky.
Each brings its own ingredients, production traditions, and flavor characteristics.
This diversity forms the foundation of the Cristalinos Festival at Harry’s, where tequila, mezcal, and whisky appear in different combinations.
Rather than presenting cristalino as a single flavor profile, the festival explores how these spirits can interact with fruit, citrus, herbs, spice, and other ingredients.
Solstice: tropical freshness with 1800 Cristalino
Solstice brings together 1800 Cristalino Tequila, St-Germain, pineapple juice, cucumber juice, lime juice, and agave nectar, with pineapple completing the presentation.
The combination begins with a refreshing direction.
Pineapple contributes tropical sweetness, while cucumber adds a lighter vegetal character. Meanwhile, lime introduces acidity, helping balance the sweeter ingredients.
St-Germain brings floral notes that complement the fruit without becoming the center of the preparation.
The agave nectar completes the combination by softening the sharper citrus elements.
As a result, Solstice offers a profile built around tropical fruit, floral aromas, and freshness.
For those who prefer cocktails with bright flavors and a clear balance between sweetness and acidity, it provides a natural introduction to the festival.
Savia: lychee, cucumber, and Centenario Cristalino
Savia takes a more delicate approach.
Prepared with Centenario Cristalino Tequila, lychee, cucumber, and agave nectar, this cocktail focuses on a shorter combination of ingredients.
Lychee introduces floral and fruity notes, while cucumber brings freshness that contrasts with the natural sweetness of the fruit.
Agave nectar helps bring the elements together without adding a competing flavor.
At the center, Centenario Cristalino Tequila provides the foundation for this fruit-forward preparation.
Unlike Solstice, Savia does not rely on several citrus and tropical ingredients to build its profile.
Instead, it develops a softer direction through fruit, freshness, and the spirit itself.
It is an option for guests who prefer gentle sweetness and aromatic flavors over pronounced spice or bitterness.
Alba: a different expression of cristalino mezcal
Alba introduces Creyente Cristalino Mezcal to the festival collection.
Its recipe combines the mezcal with green chile syrup, lime juice, Controy, lime, and chile de árbol.
Here, the ingredients create a more intense contrast.
Lime provides acidity, while Controy adds orange notes that connect the citrus elements.
The green chile syrup introduces a different kind of sweetness, accompanied by the character of the chile itself.
Meanwhile, chile de árbol contributes a more pronounced spicy element.
The use of cristalino mezcal also distinguishes Alba from the tequila-based creations, introducing another type of spirit into the festival.
Together, the ingredients build a cocktail shaped by citrus, chile, and the contrast between sweetness and spice.
For guests who appreciate more pronounced flavors, Alba offers a different direction from the refreshing profiles of Solstice and Savia.
Midnight: Chivas Cristalino, Campari, and cranberry
Midnight moves the festival toward a different flavor profile.
Prepared with Chivas Cristalino Whisky, Campari, cranberry juice, and agave nectar, this cocktail combines fruity acidity with bitterness and sweetness.
Campari introduces its characteristic bitter notes, while cranberry brings tartness and a fruit-forward element.
Agave nectar helps balance those ingredients, preventing either bitterness or acidity from dominating the preparation.
Chivas Cristalino Whisky provides the foundation, distinguishing Midnight from the festival’s tequila- and mezcal-based cocktails.
Together, the ingredients create a preparation with a more pronounced bittersweet direction than the other selections.
Midnight is particularly suited to guests who appreciate complex flavors, gentle sweetness, and a noticeable bitter finish.
Beyond cocktails: two cristalino tequila shots
The Cristalinos Festival 2026 at Harry’s also features two tequila selections presented as shots.
Unlike the four signature cocktails, these expressions are served without the additional fruit juices, syrups, and other ingredients that define the mixed drinks.
Maestro Dobel Diamante 50 is presented in the festival menu as a refined and powerful tequila, highlighting the purity and character of the spirit.
Reserva de la Familia Cristalino, meanwhile, represents the relationship between traditional craftsmanship and modern innovation.
Both selections offer a different approach to the festival.
While cocktails explore how cristalino spirits interact with other flavors, the shots place the attention directly on the tequila.
This distinction makes them an important part of the collection rather than simply an addition to the four signature creations.
Together, they expand the ways guests can explore cristalino tequila throughout November.
How to choose your cocktail at the Cristalinos Festival 2026
Choosing between the festival’s creations becomes easier when you begin with the flavors you prefer.
For tropical freshness, Solstice combines pineapple, cucumber, lime, and St-Germain with 1800 Cristalino Tequila.
If you prefer floral and delicate fruit notes, Savia explores lychee and cucumber alongside Centenario Cristalino Tequila.
For a spicier direction, Alba brings together Creyente Cristalino Mezcal, chile, and citrus.
Meanwhile, Midnight introduces a different profile through Chivas Cristalino Whisky, Campari, cranberry, and agave nectar.
Guests who would rather explore the character of tequila without additional cocktail ingredients can choose Maestro Dobel Diamante 50 or Reserva de la Familia Cristalino.
There is no single way to approach the festival.
Each preparation highlights a different relationship between the spirit and its accompanying flavors.

Cristalino cocktails and the Harry’s dining experience
The festival’s different flavor profiles also create possibilities alongside the Harry’s menu.
A fresh cocktail with citrus and cucumber can introduce contrast before a rich main course. Meanwhile, combinations with more pronounced spice or bitter notes may appeal to guests who prefer stronger flavors.
The choice depends on the ingredients already present in the food and the direction of the dinner.
Harry’s mixology is connected to a broader culinary offering that includes premium cuts, seafood, Raw Bar preparations, and appetizers.
Consequently, the festival can become part of the beginning of dinner, accompany a conversation at the bar, or offer another way to explore the restaurant’s spirits selection.
The connection between cocktails and atmosphere is also part of Harry’s Bar, where signature mixology forms an important element of the experience.
