The Business, Ethics and Impact of choosing a cocktail mezcal

Jason Horn, a writer and editor who has covered the spirits industry for more than 15 years for publications including Liquor.com, Punch, Playboy and the Daily Beast will moderate a panel that includes Bricia Lopez, co-owner of Guelaguetza Restaurant and concept developer for Mama Rabbit Mezcaleria in Las Vegas, Bryant Orozco, bar director of Madre and Michael Capoferri, partner at Thunderbolt.

The $15 ticket includes the talk and a complimentary mezcal cocktail. Doors open at 5:00, talk begins at 5:30.

Proceeds from the evening will benefit the Mezcal Collaborative which represents the category of mezcal in the United States and globally outside of Mexico. It exists to educate the world on what mezcal is and why you should drink more of it. The goals are to increase category growth responsibly, build a common education platform, and create the high impact marketing campaigns that mezcal deserves. The Collaborative is a membership based organization and is in process of obtaining its non-profit status.
