NEW YORK, Jan. 31, 2020 /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
third consecutive year. On Sunday, February
9, 2020, Tequila Don Julio
will serve as a partner of the Governors Ball, the Academy's
official party following the 92nd Oscars®, for which
globally acclaimed mixologist Charles
Joly has curated a specialty bar experience worthy of
Hollywood's biggest night. For the
first time this year, Tequila Don
Julio mini cocktails will also be served to A-list attendees
who would like to toast to the moment before they reach their
seats.
Hand-crafted in the Highlands of Jalisco, Tequila Don
Julio is Mexico's original
luxury tequila, created to be enjoyed during true moments of
celebration. Founder Don Julio González revolutionized the
tequila industry with his unwavering devotion, 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 an invitation
to genuine celebration which is called upon across the globe for
mixing into cocktails and toasting milestone moments.
Curating a custom drinks experience fit for the Oscars® is no
easy feat! In anticipation for Hollywood's biggest night, Joly and his team
of experts have spent countless hours prepping to curate over
12,000 specialty cocktails that will be served throughout the
evening including the When You Have Passion…, Nominees' Negroni,
Hollywood Highball, Cinemargarita and The Golden Age. These
unique cocktails will require 1,000 individually manicured orange
peels, over 5,000 drops of bitters to balance and aromatize, 3,600
hand-peeled and marinated tomatoes, and half a mile of sustainable
gold straws that match the statues in the room.
While the Governors Ball is by invitation only, you can still
sip like the stars if you're celebrating at home. Mix up signature
Tequila Don Julio cocktails for your
guests and give them even more reason to celebrate. The
Nominees' Negroni is an ode to the classic Negroni cocktail
featuring Tequila Don Julio Añejo as the star of the show. The
cocktail is a balance of the green and botanical notes found in the
finest quality tequilas making it a slow sipper with character,
spices, a whisper of bitterness and lively citrus zest, satisfying
the most refined palates.
