What does it mean to be "the next mezcal"?
- smcl 4y agoMezcal had a bit of a moment recently and spiked in popularity, for example it gained a few connoisseurs and cocktail bars started to work with it more. It sounds like this article suggests Rakija will experience this too, sadly I don't think it'll turn out this way.
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 4y agoI was always disappointed that mezcal had nothing to do with mescaline...
- devoutsalsa 4y agoMezcaline could be your legacy!
- red-iron-pine 4y agoOne makes you puke sometimes, and the other makes you puke most of the time.
- devoutsalsa 4y agoI always enjoy seeing a bottle of Montelobos mezcal sitting on a shelf behind the bar in a place far from Mexico. Over the course of a month, I drank one Istanbul restaurant’s Montelobos supply. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chacha_(brandy) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chacha_(brandy)
- smcl 4y agoYou and me both, I really like it. A local cocktail place (“bar který neexistuje” - the bar which doesn’t exist) came out with a twist on the Moscow Mule a while back called the “Mezcal Mule” which are very more-ish :-) And I legit love Chacha. I drank it a lot in Georgia and brought a bunch back home with me. I particularly love how most little shops sold it homemade and distributed in reused bottles of Coca Cola etc.
- devoutsalsa 4y agoI also drank a lot of chacha in Georgia. A driver I had gave me plenty of in a “shot horn” from some animal. Good stuff.
- rob74 4y agoIn Europe, you could probably write "the next gin" instead, because that seems to be the alcoholic beverage du jour at the moment over here...
