ATLANTA, Aug. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Get ready for an electrifying evening at Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux in Las Vegas! On Friday, August 30, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. PDT, Dos Hombres Mezcal co-founders and Hollywood duo, Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston, will go head-to-head in an epic showdown to create the newest Walk-On’s drink —the Mad Michelada. This high-energy event is an official tailgate party and happy hour leading up to the highly anticipated college football showdown between Louisiana State University (LSU) and the University of Southern California (USC) on September 1.
“This event is more than just a drink competition; it’s an exhilarating celebration of college football and a phenomenal way to kick off the Vegas Kickoff Classic,” said Brandon Landry, founder of Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux and LSU alum. “We’re beyond excited to host Aaron and Bryan and offer fans an unforgettable experience that sets the stage for the big game.”
In a battle of mixology mastery, Paul and Cranston will showcase their skills as they each craft the Mad Michelada, a tantalizing twist on the classic cocktail. Available for a limited time, this bold concoction features Zing Zang Bloody Mary mix, Tabasco and Worcestershire sauce, topped off with Modelo and a floater of Dos Hombres Mezcal, served with a Sriracha and Tajin rim and fresh lime wheel garnish. Fans will witness the high-octane action as these two stars battle behind the bar to create the ultimate Michelada experience.
Aaron Paul, Dos Hombres Mezcal co-founder, noted: “I’m excited to bring a little of that Dos Hombres magic to Walk-On’s and compete with Bryan in what’s sure to be a fun and fierce battle. Let’s see whose Mad Michelada reigns supreme!”
Bryan Cranston, co-founder of Dos Hombres Mezcal, added: “There is no better way to kick off game-day festivities than with a Michelada! Mixing cocktails with Aaron and celebrating the Vegas Kickoff Classic with the fans is going to be an absolute blast.”
Attendees will have the chance to interact with Aaron and Bryan, and sample the innovative Mad Michelada as they get excited and prepare for the big game. Tickets for this exclusive event are available for purchase here for $100, which includes an open bar, special Mad Michelada samplings and Walk-On’s signature “tailgate” menu items like cheeseburger sliders, wings and more.
