A mezcal worth trying for great value!
My husband is a HUGE fan of mezcal so when I heard about an opportunity for him to try a new one, I jumped on it. As per the 400 Conejos website, he paired his mezcal with an orange and some salt (although we prefer a spiced salt which is more of a Spanish style of sipping mezcal). His response was "Wow, very smooth and just the right amount of smoke". He said it was almost like you could taste volcanic earth. He also noted that he thought it was a great value for the quality. All in all, I see this mezcal being a new favorite.
Note- We received a portion of this product (discount) free for testing purposes, but this review is 100% honest.
Smokey and got character
I always describe to people that mezcal tastes like Las Vegas Smoking room. It's definitely a character Booz, and it goes really well in many cocktails. I have tried this particular mezcal with cachaça and curaçao. It adds a bit of smoke to these cocktails.
More mezcal forward - try this with 1 part mezcal and 1 part cachaca (I added some lime juice and curaçao with Demerara sugar) and garnished with dried lime wheels. Super delish for those who enjoys the mezcal flavor. The cachaca plays great support and compliments the drink well.
Just need a little smoky? Try doing this one part mezcal to two parts cachaca. Muddle some lime with sugar and add 3 parts grapefruit juice. Garnish with lime.
Great in cocktails (mainly because I don't enjoy drinking vegas carpet!😂)
