Mexico is known for being the home of tequila as well as ice-cold, refreshing
Micheladas. Now, however, what is most popular is the
Mexican liquor called
Mezcal, an agave-based spirit similar to tequila. What used to be demeaningly considered 'for construction workers', "now has a very good image", says Junior Merino, owner of a cocktail consultant company, The Liquid Chef. "What's trending now in Mexico is the mezcalerias," he adds explaining that, "A lot of people are opening places dedicated to mezcal, not tequila. You find artisanal products, different varieties; sometimes the bottles don't even have labels." Place like
Nobu and
China Grill are both trending in the renovated Santa Fe district of Mexico City.
