Is mezcal meant to be sipped, mixed, or protected from the well entirely? In this episode of Qué Penca, Chuey and Fred are joined by LA bartender Moche (@mochesips) to dig into the real bartender game: mezcal vs tequila, well placement, pricing, education behind the bar, and how cocktails shape what guests think agave is supposed to taste like. Less smoke, more nuance — and plenty of disagreement.
