In the spirit of Plastic-Free July, we sat down with the team that make the magic happen at Mezcal Mezul! Grab a cold one and raise your glass together as we take a special sip for sustainability with the 1% For The Planet legends serving a taste of true Mexican spirit 🍸
Hey Jeff! Let’s rewind to the inspiration behind Mezcal Mezul. What song soundtracked your journey?
Ancestral Aztec stories of Mayahuel, the agave goddess, a modern coastal lifestyle, and a multicultural city like Miami inspire Mezcal Mezul.
Mezcal Mezul is an experience aimed at a culturally diverse, creative, adventurous, and curious audience new to the spirit. A blend has been crafted and tested with the help of renowned mixologists to have a more mellow taste for our consumers while providing the perfect mezcal for cocktails.
Nicola Cruz - 'Aima' is such a fun track that calls forth native & rooted (yet playful) voices with modern/urban almost futurist sounds.
You describe your mezcal as ‘sweet and mellow’ with ‘robust earthy notes’. If you had to distill blue weber mezcal into a dance track that captures these qualities, what would it be?
Here are two great tracks that actually go well together for a "sweet and mellow" DJ mix. (RIP Alex Who from Dear Humans).
Nu, Alejandro Castelli, Canu - 'Mariposa' (Bedouin Remix)
Dear Humans - 'Harvest Moon' (HAFT Remix)
Mezcal Mezul donates 10% of profits to Global Coralition to protect coral reefs. What track transports you to the ocean?
The Mezul family wants to share a tradition we are passionate about with our friends from all over the globe, while also making a social impact and giving back to Earth - by supporting environmental organizations like Bye Bye Plastic Foundation and Global Coralition.
Taking a step back from electronic music, this is a classic Brazilian song (from my favorite Brazilian artist) that always calls forth the beach and ocean for me.
Chico Buarque - 'Mar e Lua'
‘Ground Your Spirit’ embodies the essence of the Mezcal Mezul brand. What track gets you grounded to mother earth?
My wife & I have an unreleased track together where she repeats to Ho'oponopono prayer over native percussion and deep primal chanting. It's definitely very grounding. I just made it public for anyone to give it a listen.
kōáti (feat. Gina Galvez) - 'Ho'Oponopono'
Who is the Goddess of Agave? And what track connects you to her mission
Mayahuel is the Aztec goddess of Agave, illustrated in our logo. She is significant in Mexico's mythology and folklore, revered as a deity associated with fertility, alcohol, and the sacred agave plant. Major Goddess Vibes with this absolute banger.
Joeski (feat De No) - 'I Am'
There’s a Mezcal Mezul for every occasion. Which track captures your happiest Mezcal memory?
I made & released a carnival samba remix on the label Tierra Sounds while this mezcal journey was ramping up. The lyrics are super positive and uplifting.
kōáti - 'A Vida É Bonita'
