El Jolgorio Pechuga
Pechuga is a rare mezcal made especially for celebrations. The base is distilled from espadín agave and during a second or third distillation, local fruits, nuts, herbs and spices along with a spiritual offering of raw meat are added to the still. The Cortes family, who makes the Pechuga for El Jolgorio, uses apple, pineapple, orange, banana, fig, anise, almond, and guajalote – wild turkey. Pechuga is created and reserved for very special occasions.
