Name: <\/strong>Jason Morris<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Title:<\/strong> Founding Partner \/ Beverage Director<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instagram:<\/strong> @crutacos<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find me mixing drinks at\u2026 <\/strong>CRUjiente Tacos<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite drink to make is\u2026<\/strong>\u00a0I would have to say our JapanKnees Bees. It\u2019s our spin on the classic Bee\u2019s Knees. Ours is made with Japanese whiskey, fresh lemon juice and our house-made hopped honey. Simple, yet absolutely delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d most like to mix a drink for\u2026<\/strong> Larry Fitzgerald\u2026hopefully while playing a round of golf together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I could have one superpower while working, it\u2019d be\u2026<\/strong> telekinesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I were a flavor, I\u2019d be\u2026<\/strong> spicy\u2026anything spicy! Preferably a Carolina Reaper!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My biggest bartending fail\u2026 <\/strong>slicing my finger open during service on a busy night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My top drink and food recommendation to guests is\u2026<\/strong> sparkling wine with ceviche. I also have to go with a Hazy IPA from Wren House or Tombstone with our crunchy beef taco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I\u2019m not working, I enjoy sipping on\u2026<\/strong> a nice cask strength bourbon on the rocks with sparkling water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite place in town for drinks is\u2026<\/strong> That is a tough one as there are so many great places and bartenders in Phoenix now. Depending on my mood, I would have to go with either UnderTow or Platform 18.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Go behind the bar with CRUjiente Tacos’ founding partner and beverage
