What is the difference between tequila and Mescal?!
Although tequila is most popularly consumed in the margarita, mezcal is almost exclusively
served as a shooter, with or without a lick of salt and bite of lime. Technically speaking, it could be said that Tequila is a form of Mezcal, but it can not be said that Mezcal is a form of Tequila. There are specific diferences between both beverages,
mainly the methods of production and the agave varieties.
from which both are made.
Answers: Mezcal is made from the agave plant. The agave is also used to make tequila but in a different process. While tequila is made exclusively in the state of Jalisco, mezcal is exclusive to Oaxaca.

Mescal is a type of tequila made in Mexico that has a worm in the bottle. It's yellow in colour. Some say eating the worm gets you really "high" as the worm has absorbed a lot of alcohol.
I hear that Mescal is the real stuff, but am more of a whiskey guy myself
Sorry,never heard of Mescal;)
Tequila is awesome though;)
