(Bebida de Mango, Piña, y Mezcal)
Category: Mixed Alcoholic Drinks and Cocktails
Mezcal is one of the alcoholic beverages made from the agave plant commonly called maguey in Mexico. It has an earthy, smoky taste somewhat like tequila. Mezcal is mainly produced in small quantities in the state of Oaxaca by traditional methods in rustic stills. It is now being exported in limited amounts and interest in the product is growing. Some people know it from the worm (gusano) in the bottle, which is probably a sales gimmick, and may not add anything to the mezcal, although gusanos are considered a delicacy in the Oaxaca region. (Gusanos live in the maguey plants and have been gathered and eaten by native people for centuries.)
Tourists love to buy mezcal as a souvenir, and often develop a taste for this unique Mexican beverage. Sip it straight, or try this recipe of blended fruit and mezcal.
1 large ripe mango
1 cup chopped fresh pineapples
1 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup mezcal liqueur
Ice cubes
1. To peel and cut up the mango, cut 1/2 of the mango away from the flat oval seed with a sharp paring knife. Then lay the cut half on a flat surface, skin side down, and make cross-cuts on the fruit, separating the flesh into cubes. (Do not cut through the peel.) Press the fruit inside out and cut the chunks off the peel. Discard the peel and put the fruit in the blender.
2. Add the pineapple, orange juice, and mezcal and purée until very smooth. Serve over ice in 6-ounce glasses.
