Pairing Pozole correctly — a note on mezcal

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Pozole. I ordered it with mezcal and the deeply aromatic elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. tomatillo in particular became more prominent in a good way.

Mexican cuisine is a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. The a street taco stand is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Pozole with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
