Two well-known crooners, Adam Levine and Sammy Hager, created a unique libation by mixing tequila and mezcal together for the world’s first “mezquila,” called Santo Puro Mezquila. The spirit came to life after Levine and Hager were drinking together in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. They were probably a tad tipsy when they decided to mix tequila and mezcal, but they both liked the taste so much they decided to make mezquila a real thing.
