DURANGO, CO– Zia Cantina will officially launch this Saturday, April 10 with a new cocktail program this week featuring Ska Brewing’s sister company, Peach Street Distillers from Palisade Colorado.
From Zia’s first days as a brand slinging burritos out of an airstream in Ska’s parking lot, 16 years of fast-casual service on North Main (now SAGE - Farm Fresh Eats), eight years in a second location on the South side of town, and now to Zia Cantina’s new location at 2977 North Main Avenue, the Ska and Zia friendship has only grown stronger with time, burritos, beers— and now spirits. This week Zia debuts a fresh cocktail menu featuring Peach Street Distillers spirits.
Some of the new cocktails include Goat Limeade made with Peach Street Goat Vodka, the Ska Mexican Logger Beer-Arita made with Peach Street Orange Liqueur and Ska Mexican Logger, and the La Mula Cabra available with the addition of Peach Street Brandy, or Modus Hoperandi Beer Schnapps.
In addition to Peach Street’s signature handcrafted cocktails, Ska beers on tap, and organically farmed, estate-grown canned Ah-So wine, Zia offers several Mancos-made Fenceline Ciders that Ska distributes across Southwest Colorado.
‘‘When Ska Brewing suggested we join forces with their sister company, Peach Street Distillers, we quickly realized that it was a perfect opportunity to create something unique and local in the North Main District,” Carly Thomson of Zia says. “We all share a commitment to minimizing our environmental impact and using fresh, locally sourced ingredients that support Colorado communities.”

ABOUT PEACH STREET DISTILLERS
Peach Street Distillers was founded in 2005 in the heart of Colorado’s fruit and wine region, Palisade Colorado, where the high desert meets the mountains. The warm days and cool nights in Palisade make the local fruits and grains unimaginably delicious. Living the very definition of “craft” Peach Street does everything the hard way to turn these fermentable raw materials into extraordinary spirits. Peach Street Distillers is Colorado’s oldest independently owned and operated distillery. Visit the distillery online at peachstreetdistillers.com for more about the spirits and the spirits squad.

ABOUT ZIA
With a varied background in real estate development, ranching, and bakery operations, Tim Turner dreamed of a fast, healthy lunch option on the north side of town. He launched that dream, Zia Taqueria, in 2005. Zia has since grown into two thriving locations in Durango, serving fast, friendly, affordable fresh-Mex across the community with a strong focus on supporting local agriculture and community organizations. In 2019, Zia Taqueria broke ground on their new, larger home at 2977 North Main Avenue. In launching Zia Cantina, Zia wants to create a place to experience community and unwind after a day in the mountains. Their goal is to add vibrancy to the North Main District by creating a convenient, family friendly restaurant and cantina. Find Zia online at ziataqueria.com.
