Mexico’s Original Luxury Tequila at the Oscars.

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.
