In that scene with Ken, the pompous stockbroker isn't the only part familiar to Breaking Bad fans.

That very expensive bottle of tequila he pays for is called Zafiro Añejo, and there's more to it than simply the fact it costs $50 a shot.

It's the very same brand of tequila that Gus Fring presents to drug lord Don Eladio. Gus poisons the alcohol, killing Eladio and the rest of the cartel, and even putting his own life at risk in the process.

Gilligan himself has commented on this, saying that they didn't have the original bottle anymore, so they recreated it using a 3D printer.
