Get into the Holiday Spirit and Join
The Blanco Friday Holiday Tasting Challenge
November 25-December 24, 2016
30 Spirits in 30 Days
Stop the Madness!
Fight the Black Friday and holiday madness by exercising your right to comfort and joy this holiday season with a great agave spirit every day!
Black Friday is Now Blanco Friday!
Start with a blanco, any brand, on Black Blanco Friday, November 25, 2016. From there, it’s all up to you! As long as you choose a tequila, mezcal, sotol or 100% agave spirit, feel free to get as festive as you like. Drink blancos, reposados, anejos, extra anejos, cocktails, whatever you prefer. Just make it a different one every day for 30 days (you may need to partner up with friends and share from your collections – but it’s the season for giving, right?)
It’s Insta-Easy
To enter, simply take a picture of your selected spirit, every day, and post it on Instagram with the tags @tequilaaficionado and #blancofriday. (You can really get into the holiday spirit by tagging the brand and telling them why you chose them.)
There Will Be Prizes
All participating entries will go up on our Blanco Friday Wall of Fame and each entry, up to 30, will give you a shot at one of several packages of tequila swag (and bragging rights)!
Are you ready to get into the Holiday (Agave) Spirit?
