Tequila Talk

I was a brand ambassador for Maestro Dobel Tequila at Catch for Gotham Magazine’s party on November 15^th. I was hired by Select Promotions LLC for the event after being approved by the liquor client. They provided me with an outfit for the event consisting of a see-through black lace tanktop, a black skirt with pleather peplum, and long black gloves sporting DOBEL on the sleeves. (Super cute! I wish I could have kept it.) The look was completed with my hair styled in a bun, red lipstick, and heels.

We were responsible for giving cocktails made with Dobel to the guests and talking about the tequila. Maestro Dobel is the world’s first crystal-clear aged tequila – it’s made with reposado, anejo, and extra-anejo.

We served three different cocktails:

 - Twisted Tale: grapefruit juice, grenadine, agave nectar

 - Juan’s Addiction: orange juice, agave nectar

 - Great Escape: cucumber, basil leaves, simple syrup, lime juice, agave nectar 

We loaded our black, DOBEL marked, trays with four drinks at a time from the bar and made rounds throughout the lounge for two hours. The venue was packed and we had to lift our trays over the crowds while weaving through, but most of the time we only took a few steps before our trays were emptied. I expected the quick grabs – Who (at a party) doesn’t love unlimited free drinks?

Working the event was such a tease for me – I love tequila but I had to be a sober server. At least I walked away with a free bottle of Maestro Dobel – I couldn’t think of a better gift bag stuffer or goodbye.
