"We want to ensure that any 21+ year old adult, regardless of their current social distancing situation, is still able to celebrate Cinco de Mayo from the comfort of their own home! That's where this week's Cocktails & Culture virtual happy hour comes into play – what else do you need to celebrate the holiday other than lively conversation and of course, great tequila?"

With "Cocktails & Culture," Dano’s Tequila is collaborating with bartenders across the country to help people feel connected, inspired and come together to support bartenders by hosting virtual cocktail hour and cocktail lessons for those 21 years of age or older.  Each cocktail hour features a guest bartender- who is paid by Dano’s Tequila for their efforts, with the option for participants to tip as well.

About Dano’s Tequila

Founded in Steamboat Springs, Colorado in 2018, Dano’s Tequila offers a line of ultra-premium, 100% agave tequilas, each of which are hand crafted (yes, actually by hand) in a family-owned distillery dating back to 1840 in Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico. As a result, each tequila is exceptionally smooth. Dano’s award-winning tequilas include its signature Pineapple Jalapeño Infusion– as well as a Blanco, Reposado and Anejo.
