Para todo mal, Mezcal, y para todo bien, también.
For every ill, Mezcal, and for every good as well.
This liquor is made from the heart of the Agave and is 100% natural. It is also considerated one of the purest of liquors. The Mezcal prescence and influence has been part of the Mexican culture since prehispanic times. From the nahuatl word mexcalli which means “oven-coocked agave”, it is a tradition coming from the Sierras of Zihuatanejo. It is a heavily exported product, and quality is very important to the local producers.
We know pozole as a very popular dish throughout Mexico, but on Thursdays, it is a special tradition in the state of Guerrero. "Jueves de Pozole" in Guerrero is so popular that some restaurants have special menus on that day to showcase the different varieties of Pozole. Green is the local specialty.
The Green Pozole comes with pumpkin seeds in a green sauce added to the traditional recipe, and we like enjoy it “with everything”, that's why it's served with a lot of garnishes, for example: pork rinds, chips, fried tacos, radishes, onions, cheese, avocadoes, and more.
