"For many cocktail enthusiasts, the margarita has long been synonymous with tequila. Its bright citrus notes, touch of sweetness, and crisp finish make it one of the most refreshing cocktails in the world. But a new star has entered the scene, and it is quickly transforming how people think about this timeless drink. Mala Mia Tepeztate Mezcal brings a smoky and herbal twist to margaritas that elevates them beyond the ordinary. If tequila represents the comfort of tradition, mezcal embodies adventure, depth, and boldness."
"Understanding mezcal begins with its roots in Mexico. While tequila is made exclusively from blue agave in specific regions, mezcal encompasses a wider variety of agave species, often crafted in Oaxaca using traditional pit-roasting methods. This gives mezcal a distinctive smoky character, setting it apart from its cousin. Tepeztate, in particular, is a rare agave variety that takes decades to mature, resulting in intensely layered flavors."
"Mala Mia Tepeztate Mezcal is not just another spirit on the shelf. It is an artisanal expression of heritage and craftsmanship. Harvested from agaves that can weigh nearly 900 pounds and take up to 28 years to reach full maturity, this mezcal is among the rarest and most prized in the category. The result is a complex profile that balances smoky notes with vibrant herbal and spicy undertones."
