Espolòn Tequila x Her Melbourne: To the Bone
We love tequila, even though sometimes it doesn’t always love us back. Delicious in a spicy marg, scrumptious with soda and lime, or if you’re daring, enjoyed neat. So it’s no wonder that our ears pricked up when we heard that Espolòn Tequila was throwing a huuuge party, with world renowned Mexican bartenders, all-star DJ line-up and Espolon cocktail creations at one of Melbourne's hottest venues, Her Melbourne. Yep that’s right, this collaboration between Espolòn Tequila and vertical laneway Her Melbourne is 100 per cent free to attend — no catch, at all. Better yet, you’ll get to mingle with some of the best bartenders in the biz and learn what makes a perfect tequila cocktail. Some of the cocktail makers shaking things up (literally) at the event will be the 2023 finalists of the Afterlife Agave Cocktail Competition. Plus, the competition winner Omar Alavrez will be there too — allowing you to experience the true taste of a winner by sampling his Espolòn Tequila cocktail creations. Start the night on Friday, June 14 with a cocktail hour with Espolòn in the Her music room. Then boogie the night away with music from an assortment of excellent DJs, like Tina Edwards and DJ Lion. On Saturday, join Espolòn for another cocktail making hour on the Her rooftop, before Afterlife bartenders Omar Alavrez and Wunna Coleman-Goddard take control of the bar and serve some killer Espolòn cocktails. Of course, there will also be DJ sets in the music room from Miles and Maria, Ransom and
