In Mexican culture when you share a mezcal with your truest and dearest you say “Dixeebe”, this is a cheers but all encompassing the good things in life and the precious time you spend together. Painted for Botanerorotterdam. Thank you David Trampe for the job, Asis Cortes for arranging this source photo and your father the mezcal magician Don Valentin Cortes. Whom I have had the pleasure of meeting on my past trip to Oaxaca Mexico.
