The Recipe
Mez-what?
The word mezcal comes from the Nahuatl words metl and ixcalli, which together mean "oven cooked agave."
Mezcal is a close relative to tequila as it uses the same agave plant to produce the liquor but Mezcal can be made with up to 30 varieties of agave where tequila, by law, can only use the blue agave.
Mezcal is made by roasting the agave hearts in wooden pit ovens and covered with burning coals. This is what gives it its distinguished smoky flavor.
If you are looking for a mini winter escape the Mezcalarita is perfect. Take a sip and close your eyes; it’s a little slice of paradise.
