 In Mexico, mezcal is generally drunk straight, rather than mixed in a cocktail.Mezcal is generally not mixed with any other liquids, but is often accompanied with sliced oranges, lemon or lime sprinkled with a mixture of ground fried larvae, ground chili peppers, and salt called "sal de gusano", which literally translates as "worm salt".In the US, Europe and Japan, mezcal is increasingly becoming a prominent ingredient on many craft cocktail menus.
