is distilled in clay pots. In fact,
mezcal is an Aztec word that
means "cooked agave." Although
some contemporary distillers no
longer make mezcal using this
technique, many still do-it's
essential for producing the classic
smoky flavor profile of the spirit.
The final step of production is
the same for both drinks-tequila
and mezcal are aged in oak casks
until they're ready to drink.

MEZCAL
ARRIVES
One thing is certain. Mezcal
is catching on, all across the
country. For decades, tequila has
been one of the most popular
spirits in America, but mezcal is
starting to challenge its place in
the market.
As they say in Mexico, mezcal
is meant to be "kissed," which
means you should sip it slowly to

ice. Squeeze grapefruit peel
over the top, then add it to
the drink as a garnish.

enjoy the complex flavors rather
than doing a shot or hiding the
flavor in a cocktail. The same
could be said of tequila or any
other fine spirit. Ultimately,
how you enjoy it is up to you.
So, tequila or mezcal? Pick up a
bottle and find out.
