3 Essential Tips For Drinking Mezcal Correctly

As a popular saying of Mexico goes, "For everything bad, mezcal, and for everything good, as well". An authentic proof of our unique devotion to this spirit - an elixir worthy of the gods which can only be produced in Mexico thanks to its designation of origin.
Although the production of mezcal is commonly associated with the state of Oaxaca, its designation of origin includes other entities, such as Guanajuato, San Luis Potosí, Tamaulipas, Guerrero, Puebla Michoacán, and Zacatecas, in which its production is also considered a tradition with years of history.
There are 3 possible theories about its creation. The first indicates that the Spanish, upon discovering the maguey, began to process it in copper stills. Another version depicts that during the 16th century the Filipinos who arrived in the western ports began to use their stills to make aguardiente with agave.
There is also the notion that the distillation process of mezcal was developed in Mesoamerica during the pre-Hispanic period following several investigations indicating the activity of this practice between 1,500 and 1,000 B.C.
0:24 I'm going to show you the Espadin Agave. We have the white that is directly from the distilled to the bottle, meaning that it is not aged in a barrel. We also have the Mezcal Reposado, which although it is from the same plant, has different aromas and textures as it has undergone an aging process in barrels - anywhere from 3 to 11 months. The Mezcal Anejo is also a mezcal that has aged in barrels for at least one year to two years.
1:00 Tip #1: We are commonly served mezcal in a shot glass. If they serve us in a shot glass, we will be intaking alcohol directly from the bottle. But when they serve us in a wine glass, this will release the spirit by oxygenating it, indicating we will have a better appreciation of our distillate, in this case, mezcal.
1:27 Tip#2: So first, we serve it in a wine glass. As the glass is served, this allows it to oxygenate, then we proceed to give it a small sip simply to rinse the palate. On our second sip, we are not going to feel our distillate excessively strong. We are going to take a breath of about 20%, that is, a small breath and breathe out. At the time of exhaling, we are tasting the flavors of mezcal, its aromas, and its textures.
2:04 Tip #3: Mezcal can be very easily combined with seafood, mainly ceviches, aguachiles, some enchiladas, mole, entomatadas or fatty meat cuts, and even a few fresh fruits.

El mezcal no se agita en copa. De hecho se sirve tradicionalmente en jicara. Saludos.

[@jesusmoreno6306]

La copa grapa sirve para encontrar mejores notas olfativas, no le pasa nada si se sirve en copa.

Hermano, con todo respeto, hace falta mucha más explicación a la hora de informar la forma correcta de beber mezcal. El mundo mezcal es algo serio, es una verdadera cultura basada principalmente en la información correcta, que incluye como degustar y apreciar éste ancestral y mágico elixir. Saludos cordiales.
