And I said, well, all right, let's see about that.
And sure enough, not only did they meet my expectations, they allowed me to create something that was one of those things where, because when they approached me about doing a tequila, they said, well, because, you know, you're from Mexico.
So, you know, we want to make sure that we do something that's like, you know, on brand.

And they're like, oh, shit.
And I'm like, yeah, shit.
I said, I am Mexican.
I'm Mexican-American.
And I think that that's one of those things that a lot of times people forget.
