Introduction
Gaining Attention
I. If you're anything like me, then you just might love tequila or just drinking in general. Alcohol brings people together and can lead to either a lot of fun or a lot of regret (as many of y'all probably know).
Purpose
II. As you might know, tequila is made from agave plants, but something you might not know is the other type of liquor that comes from agave: mezcal.
Credibility
III. As a former liquor store employee, I have tried my fare share of liquor. I've had everything from fancy bourbon whiskey to pickle flavored Moonshine. But my favorite was always tequila until I tried my beloved mezcal.
Preview
IV. Today, I will tell you exactly how Mezcal is created in just five steps: Harvest, Roast, Crush, Fermentation, and finally Distillation.
Conclusion
Review
V. After hearing my speech, you now should have all the basic knowledge on the making of mezcal starting with harvesting agave plants and ending with the distillation process.
Concluding Remarks
VI. If you gain anything from my speech, it should be that you should try mezcal as soon as you can (assuming you're of age). You'll either love it or hate it!
