HORNITOS® TEQUILA DEBUTS "ALL YOU NEED IS THREE" COCKTAIL COLLABORATION FOR CINCO DE MAYO AND SUMMER 2026

A vibrant trio of cocktails inspired by Latin flavors, culture and community

NEW YORK, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- This Cinco de Mayo, Hornitos® Tequila is bringing the flavors of its roots to the forefront with the launch of "All You Need Is Three," a new cocktail collaboration created in partnership with DJ trio Las Flaquitas that will debut at this year's Mex Gala.

Hornitos x Las Flaquitas Collaboration
As "The Tequila de Todos," Hornitos continues to champion moments that bring people together, creating space for diverse communities to celebrate on their own terms. A trio themselves, Las Flaquitas embody the story Hornitos tells with every sip of the tequila's three natural ingredients: agave, yeast and water.

"Through this collaboration, we set out to celebrate Mexican heritage through a distinctly modern cultural lens—bringing together art, music and community in a way that feels new, bold, and of the moment," said Rashmi Raine, vice president of Tequila at Suntory Global Spirits. "As 'The Tequila de Todos,' Hornitos is rooted in the belief that great tequila—and great cultural moments—should be for everyone. We're proud to partner with creators who share that vision and help us build experiences that are open, expressive and bring people together in meaningful ways."

The partnership is brought to life through three Hornitos cocktails infused with traditional Latin flavors that perfectly complement the fresh and vibrant three-ingredient tequilas:

• The Horchata Colada, a creamy, tropical cocktail layered with warm spice
• The Jalisco Sunrise, a bright, fruit-forward serve finished with hibiscus
• The Flaqui Margarita, a vibrant twist on the classic featuring chamoy and Tajin®

"Our music has always been about bringing people together, and we're excited to bring that same energy to life through Hornitos, the Tequila de Todos" said Las Flaquitas. "We like our cocktails like our sets: vibrant, a little unexpected and an experience meant to be shared."

Hornitos Mex Gala
The cocktail collaboration will premiere at the upcoming Hornitos Mex Gala in New York on Cinco de Mayo, where signature Hornitos Tequila recipes will be served alongside a set from Las Flaquitas, the party's DJ headliners.

Following the most-watched red carpet in fashion taking place the day before, the Hornitos Mex Gala offers a distinct perspective – shifting the focus from exclusivity and observation to connection and participation for a feeling of "de todos," or "of everyone." At the heart of the event will be the "Open Carpet," designed by New York City-based contemporary mixed media artist and muralist Bianca Romero. This reimagined take on the traditional arrival moment will transform the venue into a stage for self-expression.
