Tequila vs. mezcal – pick your fighter! 🤼

Celebrate Cinco de Mayo 🇲🇽 Let the battle commence: Tequila vs. Mezcal! ​Dear {NAME},​  Happy Cinco de Mayo! To celebrate, we're putting Tequila head-to-head with mezcal, because what better way to toast to the Mexican holiday than with some awesome agave spirits?  We're kicking off with [Herradura Plata Tequila]( produced by Casa Herradura, which was founded back in 1870. Don't let the colour of this one fool you, it actually spent a short time in American oak barrels – 45 days to be precise – which imparts hints of woody vanilla among the fresh, vegetal agave. We can't wait to let those flavours shine in a cocktail or two. £38.95    [Dangerous Don Joven Mezcal Espadín]( This unaged mezcal is packed to the brim with (dangerously) delicious fresh, smoky flavours. One for a mezcal Old Fashioned! £39.95 £43.95   [Drinks by the Dram 12 Dram Tequila & Mezcal Collection]( Whether you're taking yourself on a tasting or sharing with friends, this set packs in 12 drams from some of Mexico's best producers. £49.95   [Dos Hombres Mezcal]( Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston have been cooking once again, but this time using agave to create Dos Hombres Mezcal! £55.44 £59.44   [VIVIR Tequila Reposado]( A six-month rest in ex-bourbon casks gives VIVIR Reposado a good dose of caramel sweentess – delicious however you drink it. £32 £35.50   [Mijenta Tequila Reposado]( French acacia casks stand out here, boasting layers of vanilla, vegetal agave, and wood – versatile enough to sip or mix up a Margarita! £63.95   [El Jimador Blanco]( If a crisp, unaged Tequila is what you're after, this Lowland Tequila is fruity, spicy, and flavourful enough to stand out in cocktails. £23.13 Choose your fighter 💪 Enter Tequila: distilled from Blue Weber agave (and only Blue Weber agave), first produced in the 1500s near what is now the city of Tequila, it's a crisp, clean spirit famed for Margaritas. Now it's Mezcal's turn: it can be produced from more than 30 varieties of agave, generally on a much smaller scale, and it's often full of smoky flavours thanks to the roasting process of the agave.  But what's more important than rivalry is celebrating that both spirits highlight the incredible work of the agave farmers (known as jimadores), and all that the agave plant has to offer. ¡Salud!
