The Golden Boy cocktail pays homage to the boxer, man and legend, Oscar De La Hoya. Innovative bartender Dan Rook created it. Dan is a nationally recognized veteran of bars, and much like Oscar has fought his way through the ranks.

Let’s get this straight. Agave is a succulent, one of great variety. The plant that makes tequila isn’t the same one that yields in mezcal, for example, though every tequila is technically a mezcal (but not the other way around).
