Marking its second annual Lunar New Year launch, the release unites
Asia’s 50 Best Bar COA for a limited-time cocktail and a zodiac-inspired
Siegelman Stable capsule collection
Tequila Don Julio 1942 is honoring Lunar New Year with the release of the limited-edition Year of the Horse bottle, a symbol of legacy and new beginnings. Featuring the same luxuriously smooth, award-winning tequila made with 100% Blue Weber Agave, the Tequila Don Julio 1942 Year of the Horse Editionbottle design blends the traditional Mexican ikat rebozo pattern with the powerful symbolism of the Chinese Zodiac horse. Rooted in Don Julio González’s pioneering tequila-making journey that started in 1942 – also the Year of the Horse – Tequila Don Julio celebrates bold, untethered spirits through unique collaborations that brings together icons born under this zodiac.
Tequila Don Julio has partnered with Siegelman Stable, the cult-favorite lifestyle brand with deep equestrian heritage that is founded and designed by Max Siegelman – another Year of the Horse-born visionary. Tequila Don Julio and Siegelman introduce a limited-edition unisex capsule collection inspired by the Year of the Horse, featuring a coaches jacket, short-sleeve tee and Siegelman Stable’s signature hat.
Rooted in the pioneering vision of late founder Don Julio González – who embarked on his tequila-making journey in 1942, a Year of the Horse, Tequila Don Julio has always honored heritage and legacy. Tequila Don Julio 1942 is made with 100% Blue Weber Agave and aged for at least two years in American white oak barrels, resulting in an exceptionally smooth finish that makes it perfect for toasting meaningful moments with those closest to you during Lunar New Year.
To further elevate Year of the Horse celebrations, Tequila Don Julio teams up with the acclaimed Mexican-inspired cocktail bar COA, a three-time winner of the No.1 spot on Asia’s 50 Best Bars, for an exclusive collaboration that fuses Lunar New Year spirit with bold contemporary craftsmanship. Created by Lok Cheung, the “Golden Horse” cocktail takes inspiration from Lunar New Year traditions, featuring two ingredients rich in festive symbolism. The first, kumquat, whose Mandarin name evokes “gold” and “fortune,” brings both auspicious meaning and a lively citrus backbone, while water chestnut, known in Chinese as “horse’s hoof,” pays homage to the zodiac year’s namesake and is traditionally enjoyed wishing success ahead. Balancing bright citrus, subtle nuttiness, and the smooth depth of aged agave, the cocktail offers a refined yet spirited taste experience that reflects Don Julio’s vibrant craftsmanship. Housed in a traditional candy box brimming with festive treats and adorned with an edible ink-style horse motif, this striking creation celebrates the warmth of reunion and the joy of new beginnings, an elegant ode to Lunar New Year and Don Julio’s timeless hospitality. Available exclusively at COA from 10 February through 22 February.
Tequila Don Julio 1942 Year of the Horse Edition is now available at designated retail partners including Dram Good Stuff, HK Liquor Store, The Central Whisky, Watson’s Wine in Hong Kong, and Noble Mart in Macau.
