Tequila’s Wild and Rustic Cousin
Posted by Foobooz on December 1st, 2008
This week, Craig LaBan’s Sunday Drink column focuses on “tequila’s wild and rustic cousin: mezcal.”.
Sip one of the rare “single village mezcals” from Del Maguey, an importer that has collected artisan, clay-pot-distilled brews from remote outposts around Oaxaca, and you’ll know why these are among the most intense and interesting spirits out there. Chichicapa ($15), my favorite, is like a fiery, fruit-tinged, liquid bacon. Some liken Minero to watermelon-flavored bubble gum.
Sample mezcal at Cantina Dos Segundos where you can get a flight of three for $20.

No Mezcal and Caballitos? Ought to reroute their stock to the more successful joint IMHO.
