"Respect the ingredients and the cocktail will respect you back."

Fresh off of the grand opening of Despacho Margarita in Mexico City, co-owner Oscar Valle drops by the Bar Hacks podcast to chat with host David Klemt.

Oscar shares how the core team came together, the vision for Despacho Margarita, how they're focusing on finding people with a real thirst for learning to build out the team, and the philosophy behind Natural Hospitality that drives the team and concept.

Oscar also addresses the explosive popularity of cristalino tequila, how Despacho Margarita started out as a bottle shop and small bar but has transformed into a modern social club and cantina, and the recipes for two of the team's incredible Margaritas.

Cheers!
