Description
According to a Drizly report, One year post-lockdown: The new normal of Bev Alc, the spirits category increased its share of sales from 39% in February 2020 to 43% in February 2021, overtaking wine for the most popular category.
As spirits sales increased, interest in at-home cocktail-making also skyrocketed, according to a Google Trends report. More and more, cocktail lovers are finding time to experiment in their at-home bar by developing creative cocktail recipes, so Jose Cuervo and Mekanism wanted to let consumers show-off their newfound mixology skills by helping to create their next margarita flavor.
By mixing Cuervo base flavors, trending ingredients, and a custom wildcard ingredient, entrants have a chance to win a $100k grand prize. Starting May 9 through June 30, contestants can visit cuervomargshakeup.com and follow four simple steps to create the next big margarita flavor.
12 finalists will be selected, with a grand prize winner having their margarita flavor produced and released on store shelves, alongside a cool $100K. But the prizes don’t stop there: all finalists will receive $1K to fund a year’s worth of authentic Cuervo margaritas and ALL participants will receive a $5 coupon via Drizly to put towards their next Cuervo margarita purchase.
