I used to think “home” was a dirty word. Out there — on the road — was where life happened, full of exciting adventures, fascinating people, and endless possibilities. No dreary commutes, 30-minute lunch breaks, mind-numbing meetings, or endless lists of to-dos squeezed into a rushed weekend. Why would anyone want to be home, the...

I am excited to have just released the new and improved version of my book: Holy Smoke! It's Mezcal! The Revised 2nd Edition. I think it is bigger, better, and more in-depth than the 1st edition. In fact, I would venture to say that it goes far deeper than any other mezcal book. It's 272| Mezcal PhD
We all know these are weird times we are living in. I live in NYC, and there is an unsettling calm to our lives; no traffic, relatively few people out and about, everything closed, no Naked Cowboy in Times Square, and a million other oddities. Yes, this is largely true everywhere, but perhaps the contrast […] The post Buy Mezcal Futures – A Great Cause (Updated) first appeared on Mezcal PhD.| Mezcal PhD
People are always asking me where I drink mezcal in NYC, so it is odd that I have never done a full blown blog post on this topic. A lot of things are odd though. For instance, a treadmill has a warning sticker that you should stop if you feel faint or dizzy. But isn’t […] The post Where to Drink Mezcal in New York City first appeared on Mezcal PhD.| Mezcal PhD
A few months ago Dalton Kreiss from Maguey Melate found me. I did not know him and had not heard of Maguey Melate, but then again, new mezcal brands are coming to the U.S. every day so this was not unusual. But as I read what he had to say and looked at their website, I […] The post Maguey Melate – A Great Take on a Mezcal of the Month Club first appeared on Mezcal PhD.| Mezcal PhD
Many of you may know the storied tequila brand, Porfidio. While Patron may have been the first widely-marketed premium tequila sold in the US, there was nothing like Porfidio in the late ’90s to early 2000s. You might not remember the name, but you certainly remember the “Cactus Bottle”. It captured the imagination then and […] The post The Arc From Porfidio to Mezcal: My Agave Journey Comes Full Circle first appeared on Mezcal PhD.| Mezcal PhD
I definitely have not posted many cocktail recipes to the blog. This is a personal failing as I have learned over the years mezcal cocktails are a fantastic way to introduce people to the wonderful world of mezcal. And as I am all about spreading the gospel and mezcal education, I should be more proactive […] The post One Killer Mezcal Cocktail: The Gardener first appeared on Mezcal PhD.| Mezcal PhD
If you are a long time reader of my blog, you are likely aware that I have great respect for the El Jolgorio brand, the family behind it, and how highly they value the tradition and culture of mezcal. The face of the brand is Asis Cortes, and he is well known in mezcal circles […] The post Origen Raiz Mezcal: Find It. Buy it. first appeared on Mezcal PhD.| Mezcal PhD
Before COVID, I was probably best known for three things: I wrote a bunch of mostly funny books, I’d given a few TED talks, and I liked cats and profanity (equally and a lot). Never once, not even in a drunken stupor or a| Jenna McCarthy
Remember in fourth grade when you wanted another kid to do something they didn’t want to do, like trade their Ding Dong for your bruised banana or let you cut in front of them in the lunch line? You basically had three options: you could ask nicely for the coveted thing, you could try to| Jenna McCarthy
