Nearly a decade after the conclusion of Breaking Bad, Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston are teaming up for an anti-bullying mezcal cocktail competition.

The duo’s Dos Hombres Mezcal has been announced as the official sponsor of the first-ever Bar Boss Bartender Challenge, headed up by online charity organization Colossal.

Friends and fans have the opportunity to vote for their favorite contestant online, who will be awarded a grand prize of $10,000 and a cover spot on Bartender Magazine. Proceeds from the competition will benefit the Kind Campaign, an international nonprofit that brings awareness and healing to the adverse and lasting effects of girl-against-girl bullying.

“It’s a thrill for Colossal to join forces with an established brand like Dos Hombres to launch our inaugural bartending competition,” Colossal CEO Mary Hagen said.

“Aaron and Bryan have already proven to be more than generous with their time and dedication in sponsoring this competition and KIND’s mission to combat bullying. Our number of participants and charitable donations continue to increase yearly, so we hope this competition will be among our most impactful now and in the future.”

Since launching in 2019, Dos Hombres has released a flagship $55 Mezcal Joven as well as a limited-edition $350 Mezcal Tobala. The celebrities are among a select few who have ventured into the mezcal industry rather than tequila, though the ranks are now growing alongside similar ventures from Cheech Marin, Lykke Li and LeBron James.
