Maleza Licor Artesanal De Pepita (Pumpkin Seed Liqueur)
Maleza Licor Artesanal De Pepita is a savory, herbaceous, and utterly unique liqueur that pays homage to the deep, earthy flavors of traditional Mexican cuisine. The star of this spirit is the Pumpkin Seed (Pepita), a symbol of companionship and nourishment in the ancient milpa farming system.
Crafted with a base of authentic Native Corn Alcohol from Chiapas, Maleza combines the silky, delicate richness of pumpkin seeds with a vibrant, complex blend of the most distinctive herbs in Mexican cooking: Avocado Leaf, Epazote, Hoja Santa, Oregano, and Green Pepper.
This liqueur captures the unmistakable, savory character known to lovers of green mole, pipián, and papadzules. It is an extraordinary experience that transitions gracefully from culinary to cocktail applications. Its herbaceous and nutty profile offers an unrivaled layer of complexity, making it an essential, avant-garde addition to any bar.
Tasting Notes
Native Corn Alcohol from Chiapas ABV 30% Botanicals (Predominant): Pumpkin Seed (Pepita) Botanicals (Accent): Avocado leaf, epazote, hoja santa, oregano, green pepper
- Nose: A complex, savory, and herbaceous aroma. Leads with the deep, nutty scent of toasted pumpkin seeds. This is quickly followed by distinctive, pungent herbal notes, particularly epazote and the anise-like quality of hoja santa. A subtle hint of fresh green pepper and dried oregano completes the savory bouquet.
- Palate: The mouthfeel is notably silky and delicate, mirroring the natural oils of the pumpkin seeds. The flavor is a harmonious blend of earthy, nutty richness and intense fresh herbal notes. The avocado leaf and epazote provide a deep, verdant backbone, while the green pepper adds a subtle, fresh vegetal bite, creating a balanced, savory complexity reminiscent of a fine mole verde.
- Finish: Long, warm, and intensely savory. The nutty character of the pepita lingers, complemented by a persistent, refreshing burst of the herbaceous botanicals.

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
