It’s Thristy Thursday and we’re thrilled to highlight Texas-based mezcal importer Heavy Métl Premium Imports and bartender Marcella Macias, who runs the bar program at Mezcal in San Jose, California, have come up with a few holiday cocktails using Rey Campero Espadín. Rey Campero is produced by a father-son team of maestros, Ramiro and Romulo Sanchez. With over 70 years experience, Rey Campero represents the culture, tradition, and art of Candelaria Yegolé, a small village in the Sierra Sur.
