The Goods from Odd Society Spirits

Vancouver, BC | In honour of its eighth anniversary, Odd Society Spirits has teamed up with The Dessert Club (previously Diner Desserts) for the inaugural ‘flight’ of Will Travel for Food: Mexico to Spain. It’s the creative brainchild of Sam Shem, founder and chef of The Dessert Club, and is the first itinerary in a taste-tripping pop-up series designed to satisfy your wanderlust. The Mexico to Spain menu will be priced à la carte and available at Odd Society Spirits (1725 Powell St.) on two nights only: November 18 and 19, 2021. Reservations can be made through Tock.

“We’ve been serving Sam’s incredible desserts infused with our spirits and liqueurs for about three months now,” explains Odd Society Spirits Co-Owner and General Manager, Miriam Karp. “Partnering with him to give our guests a taste of two of our favourite places in the world is the perfect way to celebrate our birthday.”

Will Travel for Food: Mexico to Spain features delicious Spanish and Mexican tapas and desserts by Sam complemented by cocktails inspired by Odd Society Bar Manager Mia Glanz’s time spent in Mexico. Spanish cheese and meat boards, Albondigas, and Crema Catalana are just three of the traditional dishes guests can explore, alongside an inventive slate of drinks including El Diablo Slush, Margarita Tamarindo, and Sour al Pastor.
