Shaking up Spirits: Chef Spencer's Journey, Hustle, and a New Line of Canned Mezcal Cocktails

September 16, 2024

In this episode of Up+Adam, we sit down with Chef Spencer Johnston, the culinary visionary behind Danior Catering and the head chef at Daou Vineyards. Still fresh off his win this spring on Tyler Florence’s “Masters of Fire,” Chef Spencer shares his journey through the culinary world and introduces us to his latest venture, Mezo Agave Cocktails. Discover how Mezo combines 100% artisanal distilled Agave Espadín with fresh California produce to create a canned mezcal cocktail that’s “muy auténtico y super suave.” We delve into the rich history of mezcal production and learn how Mezo honors centuries-old traditions while offering a modern twist for today’s adventurers.
