Mezcal

Mezcal is a kind of alcoholic drink that is made in Mexico. It is made from a type of cactus called agave. The plant is cut open and the sweet juice is extracted. This juice is then fermented and distilled to make the mezcal drink. Some people describe the taste as smoky or earthy. Mezcal is very strong, so it is best to only have a small amount at one time.
