El hijo pródigo del agave es rescatado comercialmente y las nuevas generaciones alaban esta bebida, de la que dicen que sus tragos son pura magia. "Hasta la peda es chida", dice una joven defeña. La Logia Mezcolatras es un grupo de amantes del mezcal que se reúnen cada martes en 'Fly', un bohemio antro en la Colonia Roma de la Ciudad de México. Este grupo liderado por Cornelio I. Pérez Ricardez, más conocido como "Tío Corne", oaxaqueño y maestro mezcalero, es un misionero del agave. Su misión, en los últimos seis años, es que la gente aprenda a distinguir y apreciar los sabores del buen mezcal, que la Logia Mezcolatras, ha denominado como "Mezcales Tradicionales de los Pueblos Mexicanos", que engloban aquellos que no han pasado por procesos industriales y cuyos aromas hablan de las tradiciones e historia del México más ancestral. La complejidad de este destilado es enorme.

What is the project about? We believe that privacy and connectedness do not have to be mutually exclusive. Why are we building it? This February, Eben Moglen, Columbia law professor and author of the latest GPL, gave a talk on Internet privacy.

Ulule Serious Smoke: Mezcal Cocktails in New York “Para celebrar, es condición jamás perder la fe, abrir el corazón y servir el mezcal.”* - Jose Manuel Aguilera, El Mezcal If you can’t play with fire, play with smoke, right? That’s what mixologists are teaching us in New York City and beyond as they toy around with mezcal, a spirit mixologist Sam Anderson calls the “dangerous step-brother of tequila.” In place of more standard flavorings and infusions? Mezcal Renaissance Many mixologists wisely take caution when approaching a spirit with this much backbone, a spirit with 400 years of history in the grit and sweat of Pre-Columban Mexico. And it’s not an easy spirit to harness. Aging Mezcal varieties can range by age, purity, and additives. Reposado, as any tequila-lover knows, literally means “lying down,” which is what reposado mezcal does for anywhere between three to 18 months, typically in an oak barrel and sometimes with fruit. Locality Beyond age, mezcals can vary between villages.
