The Unexpected Health Upside of Drinking Mezcal the Right Way

Mezcal isn’t a health drink — but when it’s made like we make it, it’s a cleaner, smarter choice.

There’s a reason people say they feel different after sipping mezcal. At Dos Gabachos, we don’t just make real mezcal — we make better mezcal, using a mix of wild and cultivated agaves, zero additives, and slow, artesanal methods that honor the craft and respect the body.

Whether it’s our Espadín grown on local farms or our wild-harvested Tobalá and Tepeztate, every bottle is clean, honest, and distilled with purpose — not shortcuts.

7 Real Health Benefits of Dos Gabachos Mezcal (When You Sip It Right)

1. 100% Agave. Zero Additives. No Filler.

No added sugar, no artificial flavorings. Just clean agave juice, cooked slow and fermented naturally. This means fewer toxins, a smoother finish, and a mezcal you can actually feel good about drinking.

2. Lower Glycemic Load Compared to Grain-Based Spirits

Unlike whiskey, vodka, or tequila made from mixed sugars, agave contains inulin, a natural fiber that doesn’t spike blood sugar. That makes mezcal a better choice for those watching insulin, inflammation, or post-drink crashes.

3. Gluten-Free. Grain-Free. Carb-Free.

Mezcal is one of the only spirits that’s truly free of gluten, grain, and carbohydrates—no mystery mash, no added starches. That makes it a smarter pick for people with dietary sensitivities or clean-living goals.

4. Fewer Congeners = Gentler Morning After

Thanks to our natural fermentation and single distillation with a refrescadera, Dos Gabachos mezcal contains fewer congeners — the compounds in most alcohols that lead to next-day regret. You’ll feel it in the body (and the head) the next day.

5. Possible Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Effects

Agave plants are naturally high in saponins, polyphenols, and flavonoids — compounds studied for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. While distillation reduces levels, small traces remain in quality mezcal made without over-processing.

6. Supports Mindful Drinking Culture

Mezcal isn’t meant to be slammed. It's sipped slowly, allowing you to stay present and connected — not chasing a buzz. A bottle of Dos Gabachos represents hours of craftsmanship, not mass production, and deserves to be respected accordingly.

7. Clean Spirits = Cleaner Living

With no additives, clean distillation, and real agave flavor — our mezcal aligns with a lifestyle that values authenticity, transparency, and natural ingredients. It's not a detox — but it sure isn’t the usual toxin either.

Final Word

We’re not doctors, and this isn’t medical advice. But if you’re looking for a better-for-you way to enjoy a night out (or a night in), mezcal done right just might be the cleanest spirit on the shelf.

Dos Gabachos delivers real flavor, real process, and no bullsh*t. Some agaves are wild, others are cultivated — but all of it is made with respect for the plant, the people, and the craft.
