MEZCAL REVIEW: Mezcales de Leyenda San Luis Potosi
Maestro Mezcalero Juan Jose Hernandez comes from a line of producers that have been crafting mezcal for over 100 years. The agaves are cooked for 48 hours in a clay oven, fermented for five days and then distilled in copper stills.
Fresh pineapple notes and jasmine flower finish, Leyenda SLP is a nice bottle to have on hand to truly explore the complexities of agave.
RECIPE: Mezcal Margarita
This recipe is special and it is not mine - this is the recipe of Noah Small, the beverage director at Empellon, NYC. It is simple and it puts a whopping 2 ounces of mezcal forward in the recipe. The marriage of the agave nectar with the espadin is simply brilliant because the flavor bases are the same.
