Published 2024-04-30
Despite being a Brazilian native, Lucas has become an unlikely champion of tequila and mezcal. His fascination with these iconic Mexican spirits began while working in Los Angeles bars specializing in whiskey and agave-based drinks. Inspired by chefs, distillery visits in Mexico, and his own growing obsession with the craft, he decided to take a chance on social media during pandemic-related joblessness. His cocktail lessons and passionate reviews of agave spirits quickly resonated with a thirsty audience, launching him into the spotlight.
Lucas offers refreshingly honest insights into the tequila boom, the challenges of selling cocktails online, and the evolving tastes of the bar scene. We also discuss his thoughts on the potential for rum to be the next big thing in spirits and the fascinating world of Mexican Spirits. And of course, we couldn't resist delving into his infamous haunted doll story from a recent trip to Mexico. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in tequila, mezcal, cocktails, and the fascinating stories behind the spirits we love.
