Celebrate National Tequila Day in Style with Tequila Don Julio

Celebrate National Tequila Day in Style with Tequila Don Julio

With all the stress of work the week, many of us could use a drink. Let the go of annoying sounds of co-workers and the horrible bosses nagging in your ear, and celebrate with a cocktail on us. Friday is here.


National Tequila Day falls on a Sunday this year (July 24, 2016) and no better excuse to fight off the “Sunday Scaries” than with Mexico’s original luxury tequila, Tequila Don Julio! We reached out to a few mixologists to create the perfect cocktails for the occasion.
