National Tequila Day is Wednesday, July 24th — an important holiday for most of us. If you want to mix it up this year, try swapping mezcal for tequila. What’s the difference between the two you ask? Mezcal and Tequila are both agave-based liquors, but Tequila can only be made from one type of agave. Aficionados say mezcal tastes ‘smokier.’
For a big party, celebrate the day with GEM&BOLT’s Pure Paloma, the perfect complement to the chips and guacamole you’ll be enjoying. (Recipe below.)
