The More You Know...* Most mezcals used in cocktails are low quality and hyper-smoky. The excessive smoke is used to mask the “bad flavors” resulting from over distillation. Many consumers now associate mezcal with excessive smokiness. A quality mezcal should be a little smoky, but too much smoke hides mezcal's other great flavors and overwhelms the cocktail, rather than complementing it.
