Mexico’s Original Luxury Tequila at the Oscars.

13 Mar

The Governors Ball, the official after-party of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, is a tradition that Tequila Don Julio is pleased to continue for the seventh year running. During the milestone evening, Tequila Don Julio will host a specialty bar experience prepared by two of the most famous cocktail experts in the world: Charles Joly, a globally acclaimed mixologist, and Israel Barón, Mexico's 2023 World Class Barman of the Year. This will be a celebration of Hollywood's most iconic stars. This year's cocktails will feature flavours of Modern Mexico created by Charles, an award-winning mixologist, in collaboration with Israel, a legendary barman in Mexico City.

A renowned Mexican brand, Tequila Don Julio hails from the Highlands of Jalisco and honours the artisans who make their living por amor (for love). With eye-catching design and unique flavour profiles that blend traditional and contemporary Mexican ingredients, this year's premium collection of signature cocktails pays tribute to Mexico, highlighting its genuine and profoundly compelling culture, scenery, and people. Toast to life's major occasions with these drinks from Tequila Don Julio.

**It’s Showtime**

**Ingredients:**
- 1.5 oz Tequila Don Julio Blanco
- 1 oz Pineapple Coriander Tincture

- 0.5 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
**Preparation:** Combine Tequila Don Julio, pineapple coriander tincture, agave honey and fresh lemon juice in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake well. Strain over large ice cube into Collins glass rimmed with salt and pink peppercorn.

"Tequila Don Julio is the epitome of celebration, so it was only appropriate to embrace the night with award-worthy cocktails curated with the luxury tequila’s versatile offerings,” says Charles Joly. “While the cocktails work cohesively together, they each stand on their own as a signature drink featuring diverse styles of serves and a range of exquisite flavour profiles honouring modern Mexico.”

On the night of outstanding milestones and celebrations, the most illustrious members of the film industry gather for Hollywood's greatest night. Such an occasion calls for a luxury beverage experience, and none can compare to Tequila Don Julio, the famous spirit of all milestone celebrations. In preparation for this historic event, Joly and Barón and their exceptionally talented crew painstakingly created cocktails befitting the star-studded occasion. The A-list cocktail lineup included Tequila Don Julio Blanco on It's Showtime, Alma Miel on Round of Applause, Rosado on Written in the Stars, and 1942 Encore on Tequila Don Julio 1942.
