The “Redemption” Collaboration How did the collaboration with Twisted Tea come about, and what was your initial reaction to making a sauce using hard iced tea? The collaboration with Twisted Tea came to me as a welcome surprise. They reached out with the idea of creating a sauce using their hard iced tea, and my immediate reaction was curiosity. It’s not a typical ingredient you’d expect in a sauce, but that’s exactly what made it exciting. I’ve always believed that food is art you can eat, and I love reimagining recipes by taking familiar ingredients and giving them a fresh twist. With “The Redemption,” I had the chance to do just that. Twisted Tea was a fantastic partner throughout the process - really collaborative and supportive. They made sure I had everything I needed to bring the concept to life, and together we created something that’s both unexpected and full of flavor. Your sauce, “The Redemption,” combines chamoy, hibiscus, and guajillo chiles. Can you describe its flavor journey and how the Twisted Tea element works with traditional ingredients? “The Redemption” has layers of flavor. It starts with the tangy, fruity kick of strawberry, then the hibiscus brings in this floral brightness that really lifts everything. The guajillo chiles add depth and a gentle heat. What makes it unique is how the Twisted Tea element ties it all together. The hard iced tea adds a subtle sweetness and a hint of citrus that balances the spice and acidity beautifully. It’s unexpected, but it works. Miami & Personal What’s something about you that would surprise people? My ultimate goal is for our hospitality company, Pablo and myself, to own and operate a successful hotel. We truly value the whole of hospitality. Even at the taqueria, the guest experience is as important as the cilantro that your taco is adorned with. The Wolf of Tacos brand has given us a platform to curate experiences beyond the tortilla. Our vision as 27-year-old restaurateurs is definitely something that would surprise people. Do you have favorite spots in Miami to relax or disconnect, and why those places? I love Dante’s HiFi; I admire their whole team. I feel at home in their gorgeous vinyl listening bar. I have to mention Katana Japanese Restaurant. My inner child loves the revolving sushi boats with endless plates of ultra fresh fish.
