How to Taste Mezcal with Worm Salt

Use this simple sequence to compare mezcal before and after citrus and seasoning.

Step by Step

1. Pour a small serving. Use a clean glass or cup suited to tasting.
2. Taste the mezcal first. Take a small sip before adding citrus or seasoning.
3. Prepare the side. Put a small pinch of worm salt on a plate and add an orange or other citrus wedge.
4. Compare. Touch the citrus lightly to the seasoning, take a bite, and return to the mezcal.
5. Adjust. Use less seasoning if it covers the spirit; the comparison should remain clear.
