Mezcal Cocktails
Smoky, earthy cocktails built on mezcal.
Mezcal is an agave spirit from Oaxaca and other Mexican states, produced by roasting the agave hearts (piñas) in underground earthen pits before fermentation — a process that gives it the characteristic smokiness that sets it apart from tequila. Beyond the smoke, mezcal carries earthy, fruity, and sometimes mineral or floral notes that shift significantly by agave variety and producer region. It can substitute for tequila in almost any recipe for a more complex, brooding result, and it stars in drinks built specifically around its depth.
