Agave: The Humble Piñas of Noble Spirits
Week 9 | W | Hultquist 101 | Ages 21 and up
An overview of the history of the world's favorite two agave spirits: mezcal and tequila. Along with their history, we will explore their modern production and classification as well as what makes these two spirits from the same base so different when they are finished. At the end, students will taste each and choose between the two to make a classic cocktail to explore how a different base can drastically change a drink.
Materials fee of $30 due to instructor at start of class.
