Hi!

I bought some Mezcal on a whim (Del Maguey Mezcal Vida), and I’m wondering if you have any good recommendations for what to do with it?

I have tried a margarita with Mezcal instead of tequila, and I thought it was nice.

    Get one of those fancy, tulip-shaped whisky glasses (e.g. Glencairn); a wine or cognac glass also works. Sniff the hell out of it!

    For cocktails, the Ti’Punch (rhum agricole, lime coin, sugar, often drunk without any dilution) is a great template for when you want to enjoy a spirit-forward drink. The tricky part is that not every recipe tells you that traditionally, it’s done with lime coins rather than peels, wheels or eighths, which is a circular slice from the side that has both peel and a little bit of flesh, and it’s IMO the perfect ratio of peel to flesh/juice.

      I did sniff it as soon as I bought it, the smoke is a really interesting smell! I’ll have to try the ti’punch template. Thanks for the details about the lime coin, I have never heard of this! It makes me think I have to try rum agricole at some point ^^
