Raise a Glass to Cinco de Mayo and Mother’s Day: Our Favorite Booze Brands and Recipes

by Avyana Chapman May 3, 2023
written by Avyana Chapman

The Knockturnal team is thrilled to celebrate Cinco de Mayo with some of our favorite alcohol brands. As lovers of all things fun and festive, we’ve curated a list of top-quality brands that are sure to make your celebrations even more enjoyable.

From tequila to Mezcal and everything in between, we’ve got you covered. These brands offer a variety of options to suit every taste, from smooth and subtle to bold and spicy.

We also want to emphasize the importance of drinking responsibly. While Cinco de Mayo is a great time to celebrate with friends and family, it’s important to do so in a safe and responsible manner. That means staying within your limits, knowing when to stop, and always having a designated driver or alternative transportation plan in place.

So, let’s raise a glass to Cinco de Mayo and the wonderful alcohol brands that make it so special. But let’s also remember to celebrate responsibly and make safety a priority. Cheers!

Mezcal Union

Cinco de Mayo, initially a celebration of Mexico’s victory at the Battle of Puebla, has strayed from its roots in Mexican heritage and tradition. This year, Mezcal UNIÓN is encouraging revelers to explore and experience the rich culture of Oaxaca – the birthplace of mezcal – through the exquisite flavors of Mezcal UNIÓN and innovative cocktail recipes featuring the spirit. 

This holiday, try out two unique mezcal cocktails that honor everything you love about the traditional recipes, leveled up with the addition of Mezcal UNIÓN Uno. While some mezcals tend to be heavily smoky, Mezcal UNIÓN prides itself on its smooth taste, evidenced by its multiple prestigious awards. 

Mezcal UNIÓN Mezcal Mule:

Ingredients: 

1.5 oz Mezcal UNIÓN Uno 

0.75 oz Lime Juice

3 oz Ginger Beer

Chile Piquin Salt

Ginger Slices

Cucumber Slide

Mint Sprig 

Instructions: 

Rim an Old-Fashioned glass with Chile Piquin Salt. Add Mezcal UNIÓN Uno and lime juice to a shaker, shake and double strain into glass over ice. Top with ginger beer and garnish with ginger, mint, and cucumber.

Glassware: Old-Fashioned 

Ice: Cube

Garnish: Ginger Slices, Cucumber Slide, and Mint Sprig

Mezcal UNIÓN Mezcal Sour:

Ingredients: 

1.5 oz Mezcal UNIÓN Uno 

1 oz Lime Juice

1 oz Egg White

2 tbsp Sugar

Dried Orange Peel

Instructions: 

Shake and combine ingredients in a coupe or old-fashioned glass. Garnish with dried orange peel. 

Glassware: Coupe or Old-Fashioned 

Ice:  None

Garnish: Dried Orange Peel

 

Espolòn Tequila 

Espolòn Tequila announced the launch of ‘Cinco Para Todos’, a campaign that brings the rich culture of modern Mexico to life beyond a single day of celebrations on Cinco de Mayo through curated, high-quality experiences that feature their award-winning portfolio of tequilas. To keep the vivacity of the holiday alive, Espolòn Tequila has partnered with top Mexican-American creatives across the streetwear, culinary and arts spaces, so fans across the country can continue to experience all that Mexican culture has to offer. The national campaign includes live immersive events, a social media and digital campaign, national sweepstakes, and a streetwear collection created in collaboration with notable artist Sentrock, presented by premier streetwear marketplace Stadium Goods, and cult-favorite streetwear brand PAISABOYS, dropping on Cinco de Mayo.

ABOUT ESPOLÒN TEQUILA:

Distilled from hand-harvested 100% Blue Weber Agave in Los Altos, the Highlands region of Jalisco, Espolòn’s award-winning tequilas are the pride of the Casa San Nicolás. Espolòn was the realization of a lifelong desire for late founder and Master Distiller Cirilo Oropeza, who dreamed of creating a tequila that blends artisanal Mexican tradition with modern techniques.

Espolòn is, at its heart, a tribute to Mexican culture, with striking bottle designs by the rich, storied history of Mexico. Through its labels, Espolòn pays tribute to a true luminary – José Guadalupe Posada. Posada was a 19th century artist and printmaker, a real pioneer, and a bit of a rebel. His most famous work, the calaveras (skeletons), were a powerful commentary on the social injustices of his time. He gave his people a voice and gave the art world a style that continues to influence pop culture today. Today, Espolòn Tequila Blanco, Espolòn Tequila Reposado, Espolòn Tequila Añejo and Espolòn Cristalino each spotlight different moments in Mexican history, led by the legendary rooster, Ramón. For more information on Espolòn, visit espolontequila.com.

Espolòn El Diablo – If your go-to is a margarita, but you want to switch things up a bit while playing it safe, the El Diablo should definitely be your top choice. This simple yet delicious cocktail brings together a citrusy taste from the fresh lime and a sweet flavor from the crème for a refresh at your Cinco celebrations!

Coachella Takes Fans on Amazing Metaverse Trip to Absolut.Land

by ElizaBeth Taylor April 11, 2022
written by ElizaBeth Taylor

Marking its 10th year as the Official Vodka of Coachella, Absolut is extending the festival experience into the metaverse with Absolut.Land, a one-of-a-kind blended activation by a liquor brand at a live event.

Whether in person or across the globe, mixing with others is only a click away with Absolut’s new virtual destination, Absolut.Land, accessible to anyone (21+), anywhere, anytime. This must-see celebration is a convergence of art, fashion, music and, of course, cocktails to bring friends together in-person and/or digitally over love of festival culture.

Absolut.Land features innovative experiences inspired by Absolut’s products, heritage and passion points, including: 

  • The Anti-Gravity Dance Floor ensures every entrance to Absolut.Land is grand. The gravity-defying mosh pit extends the length of the signature Absolut bottle facade, allowing fans to seamlessly flow from floor-to-floor. Avatars will embody the spirit of the festival grounds when they first walk into the Absolut.Land experience.
  • The Absolut Bar is the heart of Absolut.Land and home to its resident bartender, this serves as the center of mixing the IRL with the metaverse. Fans near and far can find all they need to know at this central hub from the code-of-conduct and how-tos, to, of course, cocktails.
  • The Citron Media Room inspired by Absolut’s Citrus portfolio is colorfully designed to mix with others and get the download on the latest happenings from exclusive content in the Absolut Tent on the festival ground, to NFT wearables and highlights of the weekend.
  • The Garden is Absolut.Land’s open air space where fans can discover collectibles that hero the ingredients for the hero cocktails and hidden portals to other experiences within the immersive space.
  • The Museum Gallery, a nod to Absolut’s history in rich visual arts, Absolut.Land’s quiet sanctuary showcases Absolut iconic art through the decades. This is a moment for fans of Absolut’s past to engage with Absolut’s future.
  • The Selfie Room, featuring a colorful backdrop inspired by Absolut’s iconic “BORN TO MIX” campaign, allows fans to capture their experience in the one of a kind experience and share their Absolut.Land experiences for a chance to win the ultimate Coachella NFT collectible.
  • The PRIDE Tunnel, fans can access the all-out rave paying homage to Absolut’s longtime involvement within and support of the LGBTQ+ community.
  • The Rainbow Rave, an all-out dance party, grounded by a disco-inspired dance floor and powered by PRIDE, celebrates the community and features music from LGBTQ+ artists. Consumers can share their dance moves on social for a chance to be surprise and delighted with Pride theme exclusive Absolut.Land wearables!
  • The Outlook, the best view – where the possibilities are endless in Absolut.Land and so are the views. This is a moment for guests to see the size and scale of the Absolut.Land experience across the metaverse!

Plus, the power of Human Connections to unlock surprise moments like Absolut bottle collectibles hidden throughout the space, product promos and unique metaverse experiences. Over shared virtual drinks, festival-goers will have the chance to unlock one-of-a-kind avatar wearables from the cult-favorite, whimsical handbag and jewelry brand – Susan Alexandra – with the newly launched Susan Alexandra for Absolut Collection. Avatars within the space will also be able to seek out and access secret portals that just might “teleport” fans to Coachella Valley for an IRL VIP experience during the festival’s second weekend.*

Absolut also pays homage to its one-source Swedish heritage, partnering with headliner Swedish House Mafia amid their highly anticipated return to the festival stage after ten years. Dropping on April 15th, the supergroup’s newest album, Paradise Again, will be played on a custom jukebox within Absolut.Land. The album set the inspiration for the Absolut x Swedish House Mafia Paradise (Again) Paloma, which music and cocktail lovers alike can find in the metaverse, onsite at the festival or at home with a specialty cocktail kit available for a limited-time only. Fans cannot only grab a virtual drink, but also purchase this cocktail to be delivered right to their door, powered by one of the Absolut.Land vending machines

“We wanted to mix with our fans in a way that’s really innovative and different, and what’s bigger than the metaverse,” said Swedish House Mafia – Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso. “When we hit the headline stage at the festival on Friday, you can also find us in Absolut.Land to listen and dance to our newly dropped Paradise Again album over the Swedish Paloma cocktail we created with Absolut.”

On-the-ground festival goers can join the metaverse too by taking over the Absolut.Land bartender avatar at an interactive kiosk in the tent. IRL guests can mix virtual cocktails, chat up fellow avatars and surprise and delight by gifting NFT wearables all live. Absolut’s physical tent has been designed in parallel to its online counterpart with a geometric layout, bold color schemes, art installations, and content streamed from Absolut.Land.
