Drink of the Week: Efervescencia de Oaxaca
By Chilled Magazine
Shake up a mezcal based Efervescencia de Oaxaca with Bozal Mezcal.
Grown on the precarious hillsides of Oaxaca, the agave used in Bozal’s stunning Ensamble Mezcal line include Espadîn, Barril, and Mexicano. The lightly smokey, herbaceous spirit has citrus and floral notes from the Barril with a warm, viscose finish from the Mexicano. The light spirit is delightful sipped alone as well as mixed into premium cocktails.
