The Oscars® is regarded as the ultimate Hollywood milestone as nominees, presenters and guests alike gather to honor the film industry's most distinguished moments. For Tequila Don Julio, curating a luxury drinks experience fitting for Hollywood's most iconic stars is no small task! In anticipation of Hollywood's biggest night, Joly and his team of experts have spent countless hours preparing the cocktail experience that pairs perfectly with the tantalizing culinary offerings served during the star-studded evening. The esteemed cocktails – including Showtime Margarita, Best Picture Paloma, Director's Martini and The Curtain Call – will require nearly two football fields length of fresh rosemary, 400lbs of ginger, 5,000 combined leaves of sage and mint, more than 1,000 mini gold paper clips for garnishing and over 3,500 citrus fruits squeezed. Guests of the Academy will also be able to toast to the occasion with Tequila Don Julio mini cocktails before reaching their seats. 

If you're tuning into the Oscars® from home and would like to sip like the stars, try your hand at mixing up a signature Tequila Don Julio cocktail for the guests of your viewing party. The Showtime Margarita, starring Tequila Don Julio Blanco, is the suggested protagonist of the evening as the essence of the tequila lays the perfect foundation for bright citrus and herbal botanicals that results in a complex yet elegant libation. For a plot twist on a classic cocktail, the Director's Martini featuring Tequila Don Julio 70 Cristalino is an elevated choice that offers an unexpected yet delightful balance of flavors.
