Pure and simple, just as tequila should be💧 This month we're featuring Flecha Azul, an additive-free tequila created by PGA golfer Abraham Ancer and backed by Mark Wahlberg. Flecha Azul is harvested, crafted, and bottled in Jalisco - the heart of tequila country - using only Blue Weber Agave, volcanic water, and yeast.

We're serving the Blanco, Reposado and Añejo, or try a flight of all three through the end of August.
