Meximodo, a bar and restaurant in Metuchen specializing in agave spirits has been awarded the Guinness World Records title for the Most Varieties of Agave Spirits Commercially Available in a Bar-Restaurant in the world. This outstanding achievement will be officially recognized on National Tequila Day, Wednesday, July 24, at 3:30 p.m., with a presentation ceremony taking place on the plaza in the center of downtown Metuchen, directly in front of the restaurant.
A World Record-Breaking Achievement
Meximodo’s impressive collection of over 1,000 hand-selected bottles of tequila and mezcal has set a new standard for agave spirit enthusiasts worldwide. This remarkable achievement is a testament to the restaurant’s dedication to providing an unparalleled selection of premium spirits. Saurabh Abrol, owner of parent company Le Malt Hospitality Group, expressed his excitement, stating, “We realized that we had the potential for a world record and made our submission for an Official Attempt. We are thrilled to have Guinness World Records confirm this achievement!”
A Living Library of Agave Spirits
What sets Meximodo apart is that its extensive library of tequila and mezcal is not merely a display case; it’s a living, evolving collection of over 1,000 individual, pourable bottles available for guests to indulge in. This impressive list is the result of thoughtful curation, organized and maintained to enrich the tasting experience for these incredible handcrafted spirits. Mackenzie Berry of Guinness World Records praised Meximodo’s achievement, stating, “Our research found several global contenders for this title, but Meximodo proved with absolute certainty that they have the most tequilas and mezcals at a bar-restaurant in the world.”

Over 1,000 varieties of agave spirits available
Guided by Chef Antonio Carballo, a native of Puerto Vallarta, the Meximodo team embarked on a journey to Mexico to experience the region where tequila originated. This journey allowed them to gain invaluable insights into the production process, from cultivation to distillation. They also had the opportunity to encounter super rare small batch tequila and mezcal producers unknown to US distributors, expanding their knowledge and the overall list.
A Celebration to Remember
To commemorate this achievement, Meximodo will host a grand celebration, the 1,000 Agaves Party, on National Tequila Day, July 24th. TJ Pingitore, Le Malt’s SVP of Strategic Development, exclaimed, “We’re beyond excited to share this World Record with our New Jersey community and the entire world.
