Un chiste que se volvió simbolo - Drink A Seat

In 2008, while studying Spanish at the Universidad Interamericana de Puerto Rico in San Germán, a Boricua friend smiled, motioned to an empty chair, and said, “Drink a seat.”

She meant toma asiento—“take a seat”—but the verb tomar can also mean “to drink" or “to take in,” depending on the context.

A small moment stuck with me (te mando saludos, Kat). It’s a little wordplay with a lot of heart—one that always brings me back to the joy of the journey.

Tequila’s most underrepresented voices are speaking up loud and clear. It’s curious how you won’t see it in mainstream media - or is it?

Our happy Mezcal Monday story is actually a story about tequila. It could have huge reverberations not only for tequila, but also for all agave spirits.

Last week, agaveros gathered in Tequila to protest alleged dirty deals, abusive tactics, and serious corruption in the tequila industry. These are not new allegations as the Mexican Agave Council had previously asked the Mexican government to look into the problems the farmers were seeing but these are by far and away the most public accusations and protests in years.

While the plummeting price of agave, which is now running about 1-2 pesos per kilo, is a primary concern for the farmers, they also allege other practices like increasing adulteration of product they feel are endangering the very integrity of the spirit itself. Contributor Felisa Rogers was on the ground and had a chance to speak with leaders of the council and farmers. She also provides great background and context for how this moment arrived.

Two denomination of origin spirits.

How are the similar? How are they different?

By comparing and contrasting the raw materials used, production methods, and the norms that regulate each spirit we can understand them better - and knowledge is power 💪🏼💥

The Arc of Acre; When a Restaurant Opening and a Global Pandemic Collide

“I was opening a restaurant in NYC during the onset of the global pandemic. Cultivation of community through food, beverage, and design was central to the conception of Acre and I was tasked with doing so through beverage as the bar consultant.”

KaliNOtxo
2 oz Verjus
2 oz house made cola syrup with reishi
1/2 oz fresh orange juice
Mineral water

“The drink recipes I was developing for Acre were stopped in their tracks when Governor Cuomo announced that all indoor dining would be prohibited on March 16th, 2020… After the dust settled from the initial chaos of the pandemic, they [the recipes] were frozen in time just as I had left them -unfinished and untested. I made each recipe, photographed them, and published them for this class project, and it felt like closure.”

Agave hearts with a jima larga at the Vivanco distillery!

Long before an agave sees an oven, a master distiller has decided on the length of the jima, one of many ways to create different profiles in a final product.

During harvest, by leaving the pencas longer more sugar and more flavor is coaxed from each piña. This may require tweaks in cooking, milling, fermentation, distillation, barrel aging, and/or proofing as it’s converted into tequila. But the work of the master distiller is precisely this - determining a recipe. And if you’re @chechohugo, you’re doing it without additives and many different ways because you’re creative AF.

Jima matters! #drinkaseat

📍Sierra Mazateca, Oaxaca, Mexico

One of the eight regions of Oaxaca, the Sierra Mazateca is a cloud forest, verdant with a palpable aire of mysticism.

Towns and settlements are nestled in the nooks that the many layered mountains allow, most constructed vertically working with the given steep topography.

In a valley far below lies the tiny settlement of Rio Tuerto and the home of José Luis Carreño and his family. Long time trapichero (aguardiente producer) and dedicated campesino, José Luis has been able to lure his family back from the city with work on the family business and provide more work for villagers.

Cañazo de Valle Majes, Arequipa, lo de Don Fernando.

Cañazo is a sugar cane distillate from Peru, from the juice of the cane. In the Majes Valley, the distillation and fermentation are of particular interest - aside from the volcanic soil that the cane is nurtured in.

The Huaynaputina volcano, located in Arequipa, was one of the largest eruptions in human history. It occurred in 1600 and ash still blankets the area.

Fermentation occurs in clay amphoras buried in the ground to their shoulder, originally installed for wine and pisco production in the 16th century.

Distillation occurs with a proprietary hybrid still from the zone consisting of a pot still with 2 sets of rectifying plates + a separate condenser. The Cañazo is single distilled and comes off at 55%!

So so so so good! #cañazo #arequipa #aguardientedecaña #Peru #majesvalley #donfernando

Coca y cocaína, ¿la misma cosa?

datos esenciales para distinguirlas:

🔺El catedrático Wade Davis, autor del ensayo “Sobre la coca y la cocaína” señala que la planta de coca (con sus diferentes especies) ha sido un componente esencial de prácticamente todas las civilizaciones precolombinas del mundo andino y de la cultura de América del Sur durante miles de años: incas, nazcas, mochicas, muiscas, taironas…

La coca crece entre los 400 y mil 800 metros sobre el nivel del mar y su producción mundial se concentra en los Andes: Bolivia, Perú y Colombia. Es una planta resistente, capaz de sobrevivir en temporada de secas y en tierras de pobres nutrientes.

Su estigma ha devenido por ser la planta origen de la cocaína.

🔺La cocaína, alcaloide de la planta de la coca, fue aislada en 1859 por el químico alemán Albert Niemann. Fue comercializada como medicamento en Estados Unidos en 1882 e incluso recomendada por Freud a través de su trabajo Über Coca ("Sobre la coca"), en el que afirmaba que era un medicamento antidepresivo, digestivo y que optimizaba el rendimiento físico e intelectual. Después abandonaría su defensa.

El periodista J. A. Aunión señaló en un reportaje para El País: “A partir de los años veinte llegó el final de la época dorada del comercio legal de cocaína. Varias razones confluyeron para causar el declive, sobre todo, restricciones internacionales que acabaron en prohibición con las conferencias internacionales del opio”.

🔴El mercado de la ilegalidad sigue activo hasta nuestros días. En su Informe Mundial sobre Drogas de 2022, la Oficina de Naciones Unidas para la Droga y el Delito estima que 21,5 millones de personas consumieron cocaína en 2020. En Colombia se registraron 143 mil hectáreas de coca en el 2020, lo que equivale a una disminución del 7% frente al año anterior. Pese a esto, la fabricación potencial de cocaína aumentó el 8% llegando a 1.228 toneladas.

🔴Catalina Gil Pinzón, de la Open Society Foundations, señala:
“Hagamos lo que hagamos, la demanda por consumir drogas es muy poderosa. Buscar un libre mundo de drogas es una meta ilusoria”.

In my latest story for @taste, I dive into the history and culture of coca leaves in Peru—where it's a source of energy, nutrients, and flavor in food and drinks—and in the U.S. where they have an unwholesome association in cocaine and Coca-Cola.⁠
.⁠
"Archeological research shows that Indigenous foragers in the lower Andes of northern Peru chewed coca leaves 8,000 years ago."⁠
.⁠
"I’ve enjoyed coca leaves in tea, cocktails, and bread, as well as a coca candy that helped me run, in one day, the Inca Trail Marathon—a route that takes hikers four days to cover on foot across four high-elevation mountain passes."⁠
.⁠
For this story, I had the pleasure of interviewing @daniel_yto, head bartender at Museo del Pisco in Cusco; and @luis_valderrrama, chef de cuisine at MIL.⁠

Maguey y la Milpa @lalocuramezcal.

Milpa is the Mesoamerican agricultural system of co planting where the sum of its parts are greater than any one part alone. No Milpa is the same and each plot is specific to the soil, climate, available species and the preferences and needs of the region and community it serves.

At @lalocuramezcal they are intentional about growing maguey as it pertains to the whole system to ensure they are caring for the process and for their land for the future generations who will walk in their place.

Feliz día del Maiz 🌽 ✨

#milpa #maguey #maiz #Mexico #destiladodeagave #oaxaca

Predating it’s distillation into spirits by thousands of years, the agave was domesticated by Mesoamerican societies for its utility. It was used for building materials and natural land barriers, fashioned into rope for hammocks, shoes, and fishing nets. And it was consumed for calories once oven-cooked.

In fact, the first clues of agave fiber use date back twelve thousand years.

Today, the extraction of fibers from the leaves of the plant (shown here) remains the second most important activity associated with maguey in Oaxaca, however it is an activity that is labor intensive and undervalued.

A book that settles the debate over the origins of pisco?!

Repost from @piscologiapisco
•
“Pisco: Its Name, Its History”, authored by Ambassador Gonzalo Gutiérrez is a culmination of research about the true origin of the grape spirit. The crowning achievement scrutinizes etymological, historical and cultural evidence to confirm pisco is from Peru.

By presenting age-old documents, 1700s legal proceedings, and reflections of the grape distillate in the arts, Mr. Gutiérrez’s work shows the historical Peruvian rights to the spirit’s Appellation of Origin. He expressed that sharing his research with a broader English-speaking audience will catalyze the advancement of the Peruvian A.O.

Meg McFarland, translator of the book, stated, “Ambassador Gutiérrez’s analysis is an illuminating game-changer in the realm of the spirits industry” and that “making this information available in more languages is crucial to the growth of the Peruvian spirit worldwide.”

Mango fermenting in Villa Hidalgo Yalalag, a village in Oaxaca’s Sierra Norte where mangoes abound & where a tradition of preservation by distillation exists.

Have you ever tried a mango distillate?! It’s my fave at the moment ✨🥭

#yalalag #mangoes #mangodistillate

Cochineal at artisan beeswax candle maker, Casa Viviana (@casavivianaoaxaca) in Teotitlan Del Valle.

Cochineal are scale insects that live on the prickly pear cactus (#Nopal). When harvested, dried, and crushed carminic acid is released which gives the famous red color 🔴

A natural fabric dye, cosmetics colorant, food and drink coloring agent (see Campari until circa 2006) - it appears on food/drink labels as cochineal, E120, carmine or Natural Red 4.

For more info, check out @alcademics writing on the subject as well as the book, “A Perfect Red” by Amy Butler Greenfield - which I just purchased on @audible today 🔺

#cochineal #Mexico #Peru #red

If you were a pisco grape variety which would you be?

There are 8 grape varieties used in the production of pisco in Peru!

There are 4 aromatic varieties and 4 non aromatic varieties, allowing for infinite flavor combinations depending on terroir, production method (distilled wine or green must), hand of the producer, vintage and the option to make blends (acholados).

Pisco is not a monolith, making it really versatile for use in cocktails or for sipping neat.

So which pisco grape are you?

What is matico and what is it used for? 🌱

Matico is also known as the herb of soldiers and is native to Peru and Bolivia!

What are the medicinal properties of Matico?

Matico is most known for curing open wounds. The matico leaf is infused in water and the water is used to clean the wound. Afterwards the same matico leaf is used to cover up the wound.

Matico is used to help close the wound and minimize scarring afterwards! 🤯

Did you learn something new? Have you used matico before?

¿Qué es el matico y para que se usa? 🌱

El matico es conocido como la hierba del soldado por sus propiedades medicinales. Es nativo a Bolivia y Perú.

¿Cuáles son las propiedades medicinales del matico?
El matico es más reconocido por ayudar a curar heridas abiertas. El matico se usa para infundir agua que después se usa para limpiar la herida. Después con la misma hoja de matico que se usó para el agua, se cubre la herida. El matico ayuda a cerrar la herida abierta y minimizar cicatrices. 🤯

El Chirulín⁠ is a centuries old Afro-Peruvian pisco cocktail that Afro-descendant families in El Ingenio prepare with pomelo. I'll include my grapefruit version in the cookbook I am developing: The Vegan Peruvian Kitchen.⁠
.⁠
It was fun to prepare this cocktail for my Instagram Reels, and after filming, I took a few photos as well. This one is my favorite. Cheers!⁠
.⁠
El Chirulín⁠
1 oz. pisco, Quebranta or Acholado varietal⁠
2 oz. grapefruit juice⁠
1 oz. cinnamon spiced syrup⁠
.⁠
Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice, then shake to chill. Strain and pour into a glass with ice, garnish with a grapefruit round and cinnamon stick.⁠
.⁠
For the cinnamon spiced syrup, in a small sauce pan over medium heat bring 1 cup water to boil. Then, mix in 1 cup sugar and stir to dissolve, about 1 minute. Remove from heat, add two cinnamon sticks, and let rest for 30 minutes. Discard cinnamon sticks and pour syrup into a mason jar. Let cool before using.⁠

Why are we here? Hermanas De Mayahuel came out of the experiences within the mezcal communities of Mexico and the United States. Women are not represented enough in press, trade trips, panels, social media, or recognized for their contributions. At the same time, we see a thriving community of women throughout the entire industry. The world of agave spirits does not lack women- in fact, it is full of inspiring women at every turn.
🖤
As matriarchs across the world and in mezcal communities have taught us, when women organize amongst themselves, it produces a ripple effect throughout the entire community. In other words, when women organize, everyone benefits. It is more important than ever to create space for female identified voices, which will ultimately strengthen the entire industry across borders. Here you'll find stories by and about our sisters in agave spirits. Thanks for following along. En español en los comentarios.
