Miske (drink)

Miske is an Ecuadorean distilled alcoholic beverage made from the sap of agave plants.[1]

Miske is similar to Mexican mezcal, but is made from the sap, called chawarmishki in Ecuador (Quechua chawar "raw" + mishki "sweet", whence the name "miske"), rather than the cooked heart (piña), which is used in mezcal.
