The cast of Breaking Bad switched roles for a day and tended bars all around Miami. On Saturday, I got up close and personal with the main characters of the show, Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston, as they served the scene passionfruit margaritas.
Somehow, margaritas tasted better when it was coming from television greatness.
The men who played Walter White and Jesse Pinkman went from Orlando to Tampa and made their way to the city that hosted the Miami Grand Prix to promote their Dos Hombres Mezcal brand, and I was not going to miss it.

I saw the duo at Bottled Blonde, a vibrant pizzeria and beer garden known for their mimosa towers, but now, customers are raving about their surprise guests, and I can't blame them.
Paul and Cranston shocked the crowd as they showed up so casually that most people didn't even realize it was them until they were front and center. They even stopped to watch the Kentucky Derby.

The stars were so personable and so friendly, and they stayed for at least an hour.
They took shots, made drinks, and even served them. The nightlife venue has a huge bar located right in the center, so they were able to get around and talk to everyone. Paul even came out of the closed area to serve the bottle service tables.
The duo made sure to hold the tip jar up and help the staff, as well.

The actors came to the city in the past, and these promotional tours have made, what Paul called "the fastest growing Mezcal in the game!"
Their drinks were delicious, and you can find different recipes on their website.
It was such a surreal bar experience to see people behind the big screen in real life handing out margaritas! It definitely was one I'll never forget.
