Enhance Your Mezcal Experience with These 5 Delectable Pairings!

Uncover the perfect combination! To fully appreciate the richness of Mocel's artisanal mezcal, we recommend savoring it neatly alongside smoky foods or sweet bites. Here are our top 5 food pairing ideas with your Mocel Mezcal purchase!

1. Sweet Fruits

The vibrant, sweet profiles of blood orange, watermelon, or Honeycrisp apples can beautifully complement the smoky and detailed notes of mezcal. Try mezcal in a copita alongside orange slices sprinkled with sal de gusano or sea salt.

2. Decadent Dark Chocolate

Take a delicate nibble of dark chocolate, let it melt on your tongue, and then sip the mezcal to experience a delightful interplay of flavors. Check out Chocolate x Mezcal Pairing guide we created with Fran’s Chocolates.

3. Nutty Delights

Consider pairing mezcal with almonds, pecans, pumpkin seeds, or even roasted coffee beans. Sip the mezcal, then nibble on the nuts or seeds to elevate your tasting adventure.

4. Cheese

Hosting friends over? Put together a cheese board including cotija, brie and gouda. The delightful harmony of mezcal and cheese balances out the salty flavors of the cheeses and adds a delicious fruity note. Mocel’s Ensamble pairs well with any mild cheese.

5. Smoky Meats

Try enjoying your artisanal mezcal with smokey foods such as carnitas, ribeye steak, tacos de barbacoa ,carne asada or cured meats. Rich with bold flavors, these smokey dishes are perfect for eating and served with a copita of Mocel’s Cupreata.
