NEW YORK, Feb. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Tequila Don Julio is proud to announce that they
will make a donation in support of the Academy of Motion Picture
Arts and Sciences' Governors Ball for the second consecutive year.
On Sunday, February 24, 2019,
Tequila Don Julio will serve as a
sponsor of the Governors Ball, the Academy's official party
following the 91st Oscars®, in which 2014 Diageo Reserve
Global World Class winner and internationally acclaimed mixologist
Charles Joly will provide attendees
with a specialty curated bar experience worthy of Hollywood's most important evening.
Crafted in the Highlands of Jalisco, Tequila Don
Julio is Mexico's No. 1
premium tequila celebrating those who know what truly matters
in life. Late founder Don Julio González set out to
revolutionize the tequila industry, and now more than 75 years
later, Tequila Don Julio is still
crafted with the same attention to detail and passion he embodied.
Beyond its innovation and exceptional quality, Tequila Don Julio is a colorful invitation to
genuine celebration, called upon globally for mixing into
cocktails and toasting milestone moments.
For many, the Oscars® is the ultimate milestone as
nominees, presenters, and guests alike gather to celebrate the film
industry's most monumental moments. In anticipation for
Hollywood's biggest night, Joly
and his team have spent countless hours prepping the curated
cocktail program that pairs perfectly with the decadent culinary
experience served to the night's biggest winners. The evening will
see over 7,500 hibiscus flower petals, 40,000 sprigs of thyme,
10,000 drops of bitters to balance and aromatize, and half a mile
of reusable gold metal straws that not only match the statues in
the room, they also reduce waste.
Although the Governor's Ball is by invitation only, you won't
need an exclusive invitation to sip like the stars if you're tuning
in at home. Mix up signature Tequila Don
Julio cocktails for your guests and give them even more
reason to celebrate. Rosella, the delicate, floral libation
starring Tequila Don Julio Blanco,
will undoubtedly be the leading lady at your Oscars® party. The
tequila is supported by an aromatic, herbal white vermouth and
citric flavors for a fresh and crisp foundation. Rosella is
then woven together with light, floral hibiscus and lavender notes,
and topped with bubbly ginger beer for the perfect final cut
cocktail, to be enjoyed responsibly throughout the evening.
