Tesla is more than just a car company making that wacky-looking truck you randomly see at your local grocery store. It also releases limited-edition alcohol expressions. The Elon Musk-owned company also makes mezcal. The newest release of the aptly named Tesla Mezcal is a collaboration between Tesla, Nosotros Mezcal, and the Flaviar brand Speakeasy Co.

Made with Espadín and Bicuishe agaves, it’s produed in the traditional Tahona-milled style using alembic distillation. The result (according to the brand) is a mezcal that begins with a nose of spices, citrus peels, and green apples. The palate is smoky, herbal, and memorable. The finish is filled with “tuberose, jasmine, and chamomile that soften into a balanced, velvety mouthfeel.”

“Working with Javier and the Tesla team on this project has been an incredible experience,” Carlos Soto, Founder of Nosotros, said in a press release. “Tesla Mezcal is more than a beverage; it’s a piece of art and a testament to shared values of sustainability.”

“At Flaviar, we’re inspired by the ecosystem Tesla has created through its groundbreaking innovations and are proud to be the trusted technology and fulfillment partner for Tesla Mezcal, delivering a customer experience that matches the exceptional quality of the product,” Josh Jacobs, SVP Strategic Partnerships at Flaviar, said in a press release. “As with Tesla Tequila and Beer before, we have seen the first batch of Tesla Mezcal fly off the shelves in June and we are positive this holiday restock will be no exception.”

If this seems like the type of mezcal you’d like to add to your collection, you can purchase the limited-edition Tesla Mezcal at Tesla.com for the suggested retail price of $450.

We asked bartenders to tell us the best tips for crafting cocktails at home

A handful of well-known bartenders told us tips to crafting great cocktails at home

Bartender

There hasn't always been as much enthusiasm about mixology. We can thank the cocktail renaissance of the early aughts for the rise in cocktail culture. Not only did it give way to a new wave of innovative, creative bartenders all over the US (and the world), but it also returned classic drinks to prominence and paved the way for a new age of home cocktailing. And while I could write about all of the exciting things the cocktail renaissance brought with it, today, I'm most interested in the art of crafting cocktails at home.

Like many of you, I'm not (and never have been) a bartender. But, in my work, I've spent much time in cocktail bars and around bartenders. I've created a simple, workable home bar featuring tools, ingredients, and bottles of various spirits. But I didn't start with a fully functional home bar on day one. And neither will you.

Going green never tasted so good: 7 sustainable spirits to try now

Get to know these sustainable spirits brands

Brother's Bond

Sustainability (especially in the alcohol world) isn't easy. It requires distilleries to create initiatives for environmentally responsible actions that impact everything they do, from where they source their ingredients to what they package their spirits into how they distribute their products. To be sustainable, they need to lower waste and reduce their overall carbon footprint.

In my nearly twenty years of writing about alcohol, I've been lucky enough to visit distilleries all over the world, from Taiwan to Tennessee. And in those years, I've seen a handful of highly sustainable distilleries in action. There's something special about knowing that not only is the whiskey, rum, vodka, or tequila well-made and flavorful but it's made in a way that doesn't negatively impact the world for our children and beyond.
