Tomorrow, as we celebrate the Day of the Dead, or as fellow Mexicans call it ‘Día de los Muertos’, there’s really only one thing on the to-do list – cheer with some Don Julio Tequila. Traditions from this centuries-old holiday include not only colorful festivals and live celebrations, but also honoring the departed with sugar skulls, marigolds and favorite foods and beverages, among other things. The guys over at Tequila Don Julio prepared a few cocktail recipes created by Mixologist Marshall Altier that will help you commemorate your ancestors in an authentic way.
