A mezcal margarita, the smoky cousin of the classic tequila margarita, is a cocktail that bursts with bold flavors and a rich history. At Mezcalum, we are proud to bring you a Mezcal Margarita that showcases the finest artisanal mezcal made from Espadin and Cuishe agave varieties. Let's dive into what makes our Mezcal Margarita truly special.

What is the History of the Margarita?

The origins of the margarita are as colorful as the drink itself. While the exact story is shrouded in mystery, many believe the margarita was born in Mexico in the late 1930s or early 1940s. It gained popularity in the United States during the 1950s, eventually becoming a staple in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine. Traditionally made with tequila, lime juice, and triple sec, the margarita is celebrated for its refreshing and tangy profile.

How Does Mezcal Elevate the Classic Margarita?

Mezcal adds a unique twist to the classic margarita, infusing it with a distinctive smokiness that sets it apart. Unlike tequila, which is often made from a single type of agave, mezcal can be crafted from various agave species. Our Mezcal Margarita features Mezcalum's artisanal mezcal, made from Espadin and Cuishe agave varieties. These agaves are roasted, fermented, and distilled using time-honored methods, imparting a rich, smoky flavor that complements the citrusy zest of the margarita.
