This drink is an acknowledgement of our alliance with the foundation, representing local products from France in honor of Jacques…and of course my beloved Mezcal, the indigenous spirit from Oaxaca. Consider this recipe a celebration of the positive impact of the work that we will do together…today and in the future.
