Not too long ago I was preparing to make a round of margaritas, reached for a bottle of tequila and asked myself, “What’s the difference between tequila and mezcal?” My research led me to an article that stated “All tequilas are mezcals, but not all mezcals are tequilas”. And I believed it. Go ahead, Google it, I’ll wait.


Now, for the truth, Heritage Radio Network’s Agave Road Trip dives into the use of the word Mezcal and why the above phrase doesn’t paint the entire picture. Tune in to Episode 13 of Heritage Radio Network’s Agave Road Trip to hear Lou and Chava discuss why no tequila is mezcal. Cheers!
