Ilegal Joven Mezcal is one example of the brand?s great drink variety. It is distilled from fermented Espadín agaves. This type of agave is the genetic predecessor of the blue agave, the traditional basis of tequila. In the case of Ilegal Joven, the Espadín agave once again proves its versatility by triggering aromas of citrus, green apple and a hint of white pepper. The drink fires you up pleasantly and can be enjoyed neat as well as in a free-spirited cocktail!

Mezcal Margarita Recipe (aka Mezcalita)
There's no surprise that Margaritas are one of the world's favourite cocktail recipes, with all it's various versions and adaptations. If you love smokey flavours, you're gonna love the Mezcal Margarita (aka Mezcalita). If you're reading this and wondering what is mezcal, let us quickly fill you in. Mezcal is a type of alcohol made from the agave plant. Here’s an interesting fact: tequila is mezcal, but not all mezcal is tequila. Tequila is made from only one type of agave plant (blue agave), but mezcal can be made from 11 different varieties of agave. The biggest difference between them is that for mezcal, the agave is cooked in pits in the ground. This is what gives it that signature smoky flavour! All the same rules apply here - you can be as creative as you like with swapping your fruits for quirky and fun flavours (Jalapenos maybe, as so many of you love a spicy marg, so not create your own Spicy Mezcal Margarita?!)
