Crafted from 100% Blue Weber agave, El Cristiano celebrated National Tequila Day by highlighting its award-winning portfolio of ultra-premium tequilas, including its standout Extra Añejo Black Label ($130 at Keg N Bottle). Rich, complex, and beautifully aged, the expression offered tequila enthusiasts a refined sipping experience that showcased the craftsmanship behind the brand’s portfolio.
As part of the celebration, El Cristiano highlighted a seasonal watermelon tequila cocktail featuring its signature Reposado. The refreshing summer-inspired serve combined bright fruit flavors with the smooth character of the tequila for an elevated warm-weather cocktail experience.
