About this listen

Discover the time-honored secrets of crafting authentic mezcal right in your own kitchen!

In this busy world, the special touch of handmade spirits often gets lost among mass-produced drinks.

But the unique charm of real mezcal still shines bright for those who love and understand spirits.

Many dream of capturing Oaxacan flavors in homemade mezcal.

Yet its complex rural art seems out of reach, known only to remote areas of Oaxaca.

This leaves eager enthusiasts without the know-how they need to produce this unique beverage.

Here's a fact that shows just how special Oaxaca's mezcal is: more than 90% of the global production of mezcal comes from this Mexican city. Indeed, mezcal is a rare spirit.

For a beginner, mezcal can be tough. Its rich taste and old ways are so overwhelming.

But imagine if you could uncover mezcal’s secrets easily, grasping its magic enough to make it at home.

Inside, you will discover:

• Why finding the perfect agave is key, and how where it grows affects the eventual flavor–choose your agave wisely for the best mezcal

• A clear breakdown of traditional Oaxacan production methods blended with handy tips for home-brewing novices

• Expert advice on pairing mezcal with typical local dishes, with recipes and pointers to heighten both your food and drink

• An enlightening look into the fascinating history and perennial traditions of agave spirits–get to know the variations between mezcal, tequila, and pulque

• How local mezcal producers bring jobs and hope to their communities while retaining their cultural identities

• How mezcal is surprisingly compatible with a healthy lifestyle, especially with the paleo diet, and how to enjoy it in a wholesome way

• Handy tips and creative concepts for concocting your own mezcal at home, from roasting to aging, put a personal spin on your brew

And much more!
