Mezcal is a traditional Mexican spirit made from the fermented and distilled agave plant. Originating in Oaxaca and other regions of Mexico, it is known for its smoky flavor, which comes from the roasting process of the agave hearts in underground pits. Mezcal typically contains alcohol, water, and trace sugars, with no added ingredients, making it a relatively clean beverage option compared to sugary mixed drinks. While it’s low in carbohydrates and devoid of fats, mezcal is high in alcohol, averaging around 40% ABV, so moderation is key to consuming it responsibly. Rich cultural heritage, artisanal production methods, and its versatility in cocktails make mezcal a celebrated addition to Mexican cuisine. However, excessive consumption can lead to dehydration and long-term health risks, as with any alcoholic beverage. Opt for high-quality, sustainably produced mezcal for an authentic experience and pair it with a nutritious meal to balance its effects.
