madre mezcal is releasing tequila!!

i love their mezcal, but i love their story even more:

two long lost childhood friends end up surfing the same wave in NY years later, reunite, head to oaxaca and meet the garcia morales family who'd been supplying mezcal for generations in reused plastic water bottles — which is exactly how the two friends first introduced madre to the states, too.

since 2016, the madre bottles evolved from unmarked plastic bottles to sharpied "madre" bottles to the unconventional glass flask that now sits on my bar shelf.

ps if you don't like tequila, likely not for you. if you're not sure about the smokiness of mezcal, the team jokes that madre is "gateway mezcal" because it is more smooth than smoky.

But for those who do love mezcal or are willing to give it a try, madre mezcal is definitely worth checking out. And now with their tequila release, it's exciting to see how they continue to innovate and expand their offerings. Can't wait to add a bottle of their tequila to my collection! Cheers to madre mezcal and the amazing journey that brought them to where they are today.
