Trailer: Mezcal’s Untold Past, Soaring Present, and Fragile Future
Coming July 17, we're sharing a special, three-part miniseries on the Cocktail College feed: Mezcal’s Untold Past, Soaring Present, and Fragile Future.
Together with LA-based restaurateur, Ivan Vazquez, we traveled down to Oaxaca, Mexico to meet with with several maestro mezcaleros, and to better understand what mezcal is all about. These small-scale, traditional producers represent generations of experience and keep mezcal's beating cultural heart alive. They showed us some time-tested techniques that give mezcal its signature character, told us of ancestral practices that are slowly being lost, and shared stories of a time — more recent than you would think — when mezcal production was demonized, criminalized, and even driven underground.
