A restaurant owner and a cop walk into a bar. Not the start of a bad joke, but the unlikely start to a business venture to resurrect a dormant tequila brand. Brian Raab and Tony Boyle sit down to sip Tequila Corrido, reflect on how they got into the spirits business, and their shared commitment to make truly good tequila. Not quite Clooney and Gerber, but full of passion for the traditions and tastes of Mexico, join Boyle and Raab for a peek behind the curtain of what its like to start up a brand that’s committed to shake up the industry.

For this episode, we enjoyed a Tequila Corrido Old Fashioned, made with Tequila Corrido Añejo, prepared by Stevie RaeAnn from The Fat Ox. by Want to see the mixology magic for yourself? You can watch this podcast on YouTube. Find recipe below.

Equipped with experience and success in the restaurant biz, Jeff McDonald had a business idea rooted in a desire for easier access to the hard-to-get bourbons he loves. From that brainstorm sparked an evolving concept that’s changing the face of retail and getting national attention as the liquor store that’s an entertainment destination (and serves some of the best pizza in the country!).

Jeff talks about the quick growth of Trevor’s Liquor, his dedication to highlighting lesser-known brands, and the staggering cost of securing a coveted liquor license in Arizona as the fourth location of Trevor’s Liquor is set to open this year.
