According to the rules governing these drinks, the ethyl percentage for both is 35 to 55 degrees, but typically tequila is usually 40 degrees, while traditional mezcal has 45 degrees. Therefore, we are not talking about drinks that can be taken as colloquially it says “to the thread”; on the contrary, they should be enjoyed.<\/p>\n
To taste tequila, it’s better to take it alone and sip slowly. Usually, many people accompany it with lemon and salt, which serve to relax the palate and minimize alcoholic shock. Also, it can be combined with other ingredients that allow it to vary its flavor.<\/p>\n
Moreover, mezcal is very rare to find ” lowered ” with other ingredients, although it’s already part of the cocktail bar, but to enjoy its natural flavor is nothing better than taking it alone and as some call it “a besitos”, that means, short sips. It can be accompanied by worm salt, the insect that lives in the maguey, chapul\u00c3\u00adn salt or a few slices of orange.<\/p>\n
