MEZCAL
Mezcal is a unique and distinctive drink, with a long tradition in Mexico. Made from the agave plant, mezcal is a distilled alcoholic beverage that has gained popularity around the world for its smoky flavor and complexity. The process of making mezcal is artisanal and traditional, using ancient techniques to cook the agave piñas in earthen ovens. The result is a drink with a unique flavor that reflects the terroir of the place of origin. Each mezcal has its own flavor profile, depending on the type of agave used, the production process and the maturation time. One of the most distinctive characteristics of mezcal is its smoky flavor. This is due to the process of cooking agave in earthen ovens, which gives mezcal a distinctive flavor not found in any other beverage. The smoky flavor is complemented by notes of fruits, spices and herbs, creating a complex drink full of nuances. Mezcal is a drink that is best enjoyed alone, at room temperature, to appreciate all its flavor and complexity. If you wish, you can accompany it with a little salt and lemon, which helps highlight its flavors. It is also an excellent option for making cocktails, especially those that require a distinctive touch. This is a drink that has a long history and tradition in Mexico.
