Cesar, you are now an Original Outlaw, how does that feel?
It’s been a long time coming!
Those lucha-libre mask mugs you hand-painted are beautiful. Do you feel that they are giving you an unfair advantage in this contest?
No, and they are called jarritos!
Have you ever broken the law?
Well . . . Not really but you always do something just to feel the adrenaline…
What would be the worst thing for the government to make illegal?
It would be Mezcal or any spirit for that matter – they shouldn’t ever take that away from us.
What was your favorite TV show when growing up?
Snoopy and the Justice League.
Which is your favorite? Sunora Bacanora Blanco, Sunora Cream De Bacanora Mocha, or Sunora Cream De Bacanora Pineapple Colada?
The Sunora Mocha and Sunora Bacanora Blanco are amazing actually all 3 are great! I really love the idea you can make a fantastic cocktails with either one.
