If this mezcal was a guest a party, it would be the one everyone would want to talk to. If there was such a thing as pear-flavored starburst, this is how it would taste. This batch is a juice bomb and intensely approachable. Not everyone wants a massive dance club hit playing on their stereo, but when the song is this good—this intoxicating—they can’t help but tap their toe. With a basket of fruit and a garden of green vegetal notes, this mezcal is a genuine pop icon! A guaranteed fun sip.
