About the Dizzy Mezcal
Most mezcal is made from espadín agave, which matures in about six to eight years. Wild agaves can take 15 years or more.
Missing something?
- No Mezcal? Use Tequila (Loses the smoke; a drop of Islay scotch brings some back)
- No Mezcal? Use Tequila Reposado (Loses the smoke)
- No Ginger Liqueur? Use Ginger Wine (Lower in alcohol)
- No Lime Juice? Use Lime (Squeeze fresh: 1 lime gives about 25 ml)
- No Lime Juice? Use Lemon Juice (Softer, different aroma)
- No Simple Syrup? Use Rich Simple Syrup (More concentrated, so use less)
- No Simple Syrup? Use Sugar (1 tsp sugar is about 7.5 ml syrup; stir until dissolved)
