Mezcal

A zero-calorie, zero-sugar non-alcoholic mezcal from California with genuine smoke, agave, and peppery heat — the most compelling spirit in the Monday range.

About This Drink

The Mezcal is where Monday's range gets genuinely interesting. Building smoke into a non-alcoholic product without alcohol to carry it is harder than replicating gin botanicals, but the flavour profile here is surprisingly convincing: campfire smoke leads the nose, with agave nectar, florals, and fruit behind it, and a peppery, dry heat that builds through the palate. The ingredients list is strikingly minimal — natural spring water, natural flavour, sodium citrate, sodium benzoate. The complexity comes entirely from the flavour formulation, and it works. Sodium citrate adds a slight salinity that's well-suited to the agave spirit category, giving a touch of minerality that tequila and mezcal can have. It's the cleanest and most interesting finish of the three Monday expressions. Zero calories, zero sugar, zero carbs — same clean nutritional profile as the Gin and Whiskey. In a Mezcalita or a zero-proof Tommy's Margarita, this performs well. The smoke character is present enough to differentiate it from a plain tequila substitute, without being overwhelming. For anyone who misses smoky mezcal cocktails specifically, this is a serious attempt at the category.
