Brought to you by Don Julio Tequila. Over 18s only. Please drink responsibly.
Día de Los Muertos, or Day of the Dead in English, is one of the most important days in Mexican culture. The holiday, which is observed on 1 and 2 November offers Mexicans the chance to celebrate life and commemorate loved ones who have passed on.
Día de Los Muertos is a vibrant celebration, and one we associate with lively parades, delicious Mexican cuisine, music and decorative tributes, including marigold-adorned altars and sugar skulls.
Recently, Día de Los Muertos has become a global celebration as Mexican people all around the world share their rich culture with us. This year, Don Julio Tequila are inviting the people of Ireland to honour this Mexican holiday with an array of events taking place across Ireland.
The tequila brand has its roots in Mexico, so it's fitting that Don Julio is pulling out all the stops for Día de Los Muertos. Don Julio Tequila was founded by Julio González. Born in 1942, Julio made tequila according to his own mantra: "This is not just work, but a way of life."
Don Julio will be bringing the spirit of Día de Los Muertos to Dublin on Wednesday 30 October with an event in 777 on South Great George's Street. On that evening, an authentic Mariachi band will perform live to mark the occasion. Attendees will also be gifted a bespoke screen print designed by Steve Simpson, an acclaimed painter, printmaker and graphic artist. To round off the celebrations, a Don Julio ambassador will talk through the tequila's exceptional flavour profile and the maturation process.
Elsewhere, over 100 bars will be celebrating Día de Los Muertos by serving each guest a refreshing Paloma cocktail, a classic Mexican drink made with grapefruit.
You can check out a small selection of the participating bars below:
44 Hillstreet, Belfast
The Ramore, Portrush
101, Limerick
NV, Cork
The Wiley Fox
House, Dublin
Mrs Robinsons, Wicklow
