MONTAUK, NY — Just days after serving up their new mezcal at a Huntington restaurant, Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul, known as the beloved meth-making duo Walter White and Jesse Pinkman on "Breaking Bad", made the rounds in Montauk.

The pair headed out to The End for Memorial Day weekend, where they were seen delighting clientele at a number of hot spots with their Dos Hombres brand of mezcal.

Soon after their visit, social media lit up with posts documenting the experience: "What a wild @doshombres tour this has been. Spent the past 5 months building this beautiful company car and couldn’t be more proud to have it live in Montauk for the summer. The fact I get to work on Dos Hombres alongside of one of my best friends on the planet is a dream come true. Thank you everyone for the support. Scan the code. Order a bottle. Enjoy the long weekend my friends. Sending love to each and every one of you," Paul wrote on Instagram.

The stars launched the mezcal — which, like the show, has won a plethora of awards — in July 2019.

"We found the best Mezcal we've ever tasted," the stars wrote on the Dos Hombres website. "We started Dos Hombres to create a Mezcal that we thought was perfect. A unique blend of the finest Espadin agave, hand-selected from the hillsides of a small village in Oaxaca, Mexico."

The New York Post's Page Six reported that the duo made stops at Bounce, as well as the Memory Motel, Sandbar, and Liar's Saloon in Montauk. And they shook up an El Chapo cocktail, which features Dos Hombres tequila, at Coche Comedor in Amagansett.

"Thanks for entertaining us, we had a blast!" the eatery said on Facebook.

The real-life hombres posed for a photo with Circuit, an electric shuttle company on the East End.

It wasn't the first time Paul delighted fans on the East End: In 2016, Paul filmed scenes from the Hulu drama "The Path" on Front Street in Greenport.
