In the lead up to next week’s celebration of Cinco de Mayo, DeLeón Tequila has three delicious brand new cocktails that are sure to make your festivities stand out. The brand redesigned its bottle and now is the perfect time to try this exciting portfolio made up of Blanco, Reposado, and Añejo.

From the signature sterling silver closure, that doubles as a drinking vessel, to the high-quality fragrance-grade glass, the new bespoke-style DeLeón Tequila bottle is this year’s must-have ultra-premium spirit. Displayed in a new bottle boldly tattooed with the distinguishing mark of DeLeón, each expression is strikingly defined and more ergonomic for the back bar and bartender pour. Fine-line detailing accentuates the crowning, signature ornate metal closure, the master jeweler of which meticulously hand-carved out of a one-pound solid ball of sterling silver.

Sean “LOVE” Combs, the owner and business mogul behind the success of DeLeón Tequila, will be raising a glass to honor the brand’s Mexican heritage this holiday with three new Cinco de Mayo cocktails crafted with authentic Mexican ingredients.
Eye-catching and social media-friendly, each cocktail is inspired by the colors of the Mexican flag: the green DeLeón Spicy Serrano & Cucumber Martini, the white DeLeón Coco Horchata Colada, and the red DeLeón Red Raspberry Raspado. Whether looking for something sweet or something spicy, DeLeón has a cocktail to complement any menu.
