Tequila vs Mezcal: What Is the Difference?

Tequila-style (Free Spirits, HP Juniper, Almave Blanco, Ritual, Lyre's): bright cooked agave, pepper and citrus. The base for margaritas and palomas.

Mezcal-style (Almave Humo, Monday, Undone): roasted agave and campfire smoke. Try it in a smoky margarita or a Oaxaca old fashioned.

How to Make a Non-Alcoholic Margarita

• Classic margarita: 60 mL tequila alternative, 30 mL fresh lime juice, 15 to 20 mL agave syrup, shaken hard with ice.
• Salt the rim: a salt or Tajín rim brings back the bite of alcohol.
• Spicy version: muddle two slices of jalapeño first.
• Paloma: 60 mL tequila alternative, grapefruit soda, a squeeze of lime and a pinch of salt.
