While Mexican food ranks as USA’s #3 cuisine, many still embrace stereotypes—sombreros and misunderstanding Cinco de Mayo. Now Gran Centenario, México’s #1 tequila, is launching the year-long campaign, “Don’t Be a Gringo,” inviting consumers to embrace authentic Mexican traditions through events, virtual experiences, and multi-channel content.
Key highlights of this year-long campaign include:
- ‘Rápido Gringo Test’: Pop-up events in NYC and Chicago on May 3 challenge participants on their Mexican cultural knowledge—from pronunciation to ingredients—helping them “Ungringo Your Cinco” while celebrating authentic tequila.
- Star-Powered Campaign: Launching April 29, directed by Latina SNL Director Adriana Cruz and starring Mexican creators Shiadanni and Abelardo Campuzano across social, online, and TV platforms.
- Rewards & Digital Experience: Event participants can enjoy Gran Centenario cocktails for just five cents/one peso and try for a chance to win big prizes like a trip to México. For Gringos nationwide, there will be an online version of the ‘Rápido Gringo Test’ at grancentenario.com/dont-be-a-gringo which offers a $5 rebate to try Gran Centenario tequila starting May 1.
