The prize: a trip to Mexico and 500 liters of his own Tequila blend in oak barrels.

The first stage of the competition consists in proposing an online cocktail recipe or a new ritual for tasting Tequila in a shot. An innovative idea? Why not drink a shot of Tequila with a slice of grapefruit? Take the plunge and be at the origin of a new trend!

The Dons are true symbols and heroes of Tequila, embodying an expert craft with passion and courage. For centuries, these Dons of Tequila have risked everything for Jose Cuervo. They have tirelessly turned over the soil and risked their lives to help the brand become what it is today: the world’s number-one tequila, still a family-run business, guaranteeing artisanal production for 250 years.
