How to drink Mezcal.
Mocel’s artisanal mezcal is best enjoyed neat, accompanied with smokey foods or sweet bites (apple or blood orange slices sprinkled with sea salt or sal de gusano pair nicely).
We recommend using a small glass (e.g. a copita) with a wider mouth to allow the aromas to circulate. After pouring your mezcal, let it rest (breathe) for a couple of minutes. Meanwhile, sniff the aromas and then take a small sip of your mezcal and let it soak in your mouth to awaken your taste buds. Taking small sips, savor the flavors and aromas.
Our Cupreata 2020 Expression pairs nicely with high-fat content meats such as barbeque ribs, barbacoa or ribeye steak.
Our Ensamble 2020 Expression goes well with a mild cheese (fresh cotija, goat or gouda).

Glassware Suggestions.
We recommend using a copita, grappa glass, whiskey glass or a champagne flute. These glasses are designed to enhance the aroma of a drink, which is perfect for mezcal’s subtle notes and sipping method.
