Just in Time for Cinco de Mayo, the number one airline has teamed up with the award winning spirit Tequila Avión to bring passengers a custom-made version of the celebrated drink, the World’s Greatest Margarita, which features Avión Silver.
To introduce the exciting new on-board menu offering, cocktails will be complimentary for thousands of passengers on transcontinental flights out of JFK, LA and San Francisco on May 4th and 5th. The entire fleet will be rolling the cocktail on its menu this month and will offer 25,000 additional complimentary World’s Greatest Margaritas to passengers throughout the summer.
Tequila Avión’s TV commercial will debut nationally on Friday (5/4) evening on ESPN. Although the agave-based spirit is usually known for its bite, Avión proves to be the new, infinitely smooth tequila experience slated to change the game, as articulated in the ad’s tagline, “Pain has its place, just not in tequila.” Additional details can be found below.
It’s been less than two years since Tequila Avión’s epic launch, which coincided with its starring role on the final two seasons of the HBO hit series Entourage, and its whirlwind success ever since has been unparalleled. Taking the spirits industry by storm, the brand has successfully transitioned from startup to a high profile lifestyle brand in record time, all the while having to defend its reputation as a made-for-TV brand. Through a joint venture with Pernod Ricard in 2011, Tequila Avión is now available in all 50 states and discussing global expansion. Further, the brand took home five medals at this year’s San Francisco World Spirits Competition, including Best Tequila and Best White Spirit.
