Episode 1
The Agave Awakens
Agave Boy learns that mezcal begins with a plant, not with smoke, swagger, or a bartender saying “trust me.”
The smoky saga begins
Mezcal education should not feel like reading a government form in a dark cellar. These episodes turn agave, smoke, labels, regions, sustainability, cocktails, and tasting into a funny illustrated story starring Agave Boy and one extremely annoying Label Goblin.
Adults only: MezcalDaily is educational alcohol content for adults of legal drinking age. The jokes are loud, but the drinking advice is simple: sip slowly, hydrate, eat food, and never drink and drive.
