Posted on 23 May 2026

There is nothing left for the 2026 Oscars and we have already warmed up by watching the nominated films. Do you know how actors and actresses warm up? With a shot of top-notch Mexican tequila, how could it be otherwise. We know which brand of tequila has sneaked into the Governors Ball dinner, the official party that occurs after the gala.

After two hours of red carpet, almost four hours of ceremony and all the previous makeup, wardrobe and hairstyling time, our celebrities deserve a drink. This 2026 they will do it at the hands of Don Julio, who has brought a thousand bottles to Los Angeles, according to reports.

The Mexican firm will be present at the 2026 Oscars with the help of mixologists Charles Joly and Lorenzo Antinori, the latter responsible for Bar Leone in Hong Kong, named the best bar in the world in 2025. A top-notch combo that aims to prepare cocktails “with the flavors of Mexico and an Italian touch.”

“Working with Charles on these cocktails was a fantastic creative exchange where we were inspired by the flavors of Mexico and transformed them into perfect drinks for this occasion. Don Julio tequila is made for celebrations like this, and we are proud to be part of such an iconic and globally recognized event.” – Lorenzo Antinori.
