How to Host the Most Memorable Summertime Celebration

Your go-to guide for inspiration, with tips from expert entertainers for any summertime celebration 

The long days of summer call for adventure, relaxation, and spending quality time with quality people. When you’re playing host for any gathering—whether it’s an all-out dinner party or just a casual afternoon get-together with close friends—a few subtle details can make it all the more memorable. We’ve put together a no-fuss guide inspired by a few of our favorite hosts so you can entertain with elegance and thoughtfulness, no matter the occasion.

 

summertime celebration
summertime celebration
1. Set the Scene

Making an impression is all about the details. Get creative with the color scheme and express it through florals or a tablescape. For a party Laura Vinroot Poole hosted in honor of her friend Irene Neuwirth, she decorated the scene with colors inspired by Neuwirth’s opalescent jewelry line. If you’re going for a themed occasion, look to Sasha Bickoff’s sea-inspired fête (above) which included seashell motifs, a seafood-driven menu, and festive specialty cocktails (on-theme attire not pictured). Go the extra mile and fix up an easy raw bar with oysters, which pair exquisitely with Casa Dragones Joven.

summertime celebration

2. Make it Personal

Handwritten name cards are a simple yet thoughtful touch to make the dining table more welcoming. For an extra-special gathering, consider a personalized, hand-signed bottle of Casa Dragones Joven to perfectly commemorate the occasion.

summertime celebration

3. Brighten the Mood

The right lighting can transform an atmosphere. According to entertaining expert (and Instagram icon) Athena Calderone, candlelight is the most flattering, but for the right space, stringing twinkling lights overhead can make for an equally cozy and picturesque setup. For the DIY-inclined, take notes from New York–based event planner Sam Masters, who creatively adorned paper lanterns with tassels and fringe for a Chinatown-inspired dinner party for textiles brand Voutsa in Manhattan.

 

summertime celebration

 

4. Have a Well-equipped Bar

And that means stocking beautiful glassware and accessories as much as it does quality spirits (we love our set of Christofle crystal tumblers, above). When guests arrive, greet them with a refreshing drink. A simple Dragones Rocks makes for an elegant and warm welcome. Plus, it means you won’t be stuck messing with fancy garnishes, cocktail shakers, or sticky counters.

 

summertime celebration

 

 

5. Serve Festive Drinks

Good libations are key. For a larger get-together, consider hiring a bartender and give our cocktail recipe collection a visit when planning the menu (best to let a pro handle the more intricate recipes in there, anyway). If you’re playing mixologist, try an easily batch-able cocktail such as the Marquis Margarita or Oprah’s favorite, the Pink Panther.

 

summertime celebration

 

6. Make a Seasonal Menu

Athena Calderone recommends going the simple route with hearty one-pot or make-ahead meals (think: a seasonal salad or a braised meat dish that can be made the night before). Or for an elevated dining experience, impress your guests with a menu or single course paired with Casa Dragones Joven for a culinary experience that fully immerses the senses. Peruse our library of chef pairings for inspiration.

 

Bonus tip: If you’re on the other end of an invitation, don’t forget a thoughtful token of gratitude for the host. Consider the Casa Dragones Blanco half bottle for its portable size and gift-ready box.

Cinco de Mayo vs Mexican Independence Day

Cinco de Mayo vs Mexican Independence Day

What is the difference between Mexican Independence Day and Cinco de Mayo?

Food, music and dance may be common associations with Mexican celebrations, but it’s a popular misconception that the holiday Cinco de Mayo is the official celebration of Mexican Independence. The truth is, Cinco de Mayo marks Mexican army’s victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, led by General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín.

Cinco de Mayo has taken on greater significance in the U.S as a day to honor Mexican culture. The holiday provides an opportunity for many to connect with the spirit of Mexican, traditional food, music and of course, tequila. But don’t stow away the fireworks, as celebrating Mexican heritage continues throughout the year.

Mexican Independence Day, known to Mexicans as El Grito, on September 16, commemorates the start of the Mexican War of Independence from Spain—a fight that would continue through September 1821. This is the most significant day for Mexicans, which embodies their pride for their home country. Casa Dragones honors this date with a “16” on our label.

With celebrations all over the country this year for both Cinco de Mayo and Mexican Independance Day, take a little time to raise a glass of Tequila Casa Dragones and say “Salud”, to a true Mexican tequila when acknowledging the nation’s vibrant history.

Signature Cocktails at Bentley’s Mexico or Bust Fundraiser

To support a new documentary called “Mexico or Bust,” – named after a nonprofit which teaches students valuable skills required to master car mechanics – Bentley Motors hosted an elegant fundraiser. Held at the Classic Car Club Manhattan, the event kicked off with cocktails by Casa Dragones Blanco, passed hors d’oeuvres, a live auction, and culminated with the official unveiling of Bentley’s newest model vehicle.

Cocktails by Tequila Casa Dragones Blanco

Guests were treated to a brightly colored signature cocktail created by Adam Baca of La Esquina NY. Named after the nonprofit itself, Baca’s “Mexico or Bust” cocktail featured Tequila Casa Dragones Blanco, fresh lime juice, a puree of prickly pear and lavender. To capture the perfect balance of spice and sweetness, the cocktail is finished off with a chili-arbol infused honey.

The Carrera Panamericana & Bentley Motors

At the core of this fundraiser is the fact that Bentley Motors donated a vehicle model to Mexico or Bust which the organization will use to create hands-on learning experiences for their students as they build a completed, working Bentley vehicle. The finished product will then be entered into the Carrera Panamericana tour race which rolls throughout the the hills of central Mexico, and even stops in the spiritual home of Tequila Casa Dragones – San Miguel de Allende. This will be the very first time for Bentley Motors to participate in this race, and is made even more meaningful by the fact that their entered vehicle will have been built and maintained entirely by the students of Mexico or Bust.

Mexico Meets New York City

This month, New York City’s Please Don’t Tell (PDT), widely known as one of the best cocktail bars in the United States, welcomed one of Mexico’s premier mixologists, Oscar Valle, for an unprecedented collaboration of creativity with Tequila Casa Dragones Blanco.

In recognition of his contribution to Mexican mixology, Oscar Valle, lead bartender at Mexico City’s Limantour Roma, was invited to join PDT’s Jeff Bell, one of four finalists for American Bartender of the Year, to craft signature cocktails inspired by Mexican motifs, exclusively with Casa Dragones Blanco.

The results were truly astonishing. Bringing the spirit of Mexico to PDT, the bar recognized in 2011 by Drinks International as the World’s Best Cocktail Bar, Valle and Bell developed three signature Casa Dragones Blanco cocktails: the Cupaima, with ancho reyes liquor and nopal bitters, Green Soup with parsley, sherry and lime juice, and Cielo Rojo with hibiscus, mole bitters and grasshoppers!

With one location in Roma Norte and another in Polanco, Limantour celebrates five years as one of Mexico City’s leading cocktail bars, having gained international acclaim when it earned the 47th spot on “The World’s 50 Best Bars Awards” ‘list in 2014. Please Don’t Tell (PDT) maintains its presence as one of the world’s most famous bars by keeping its location a secret.

The Jamming Sessions: Miami

Last week, Casa Dragones Blanco held its first Miami Jamming Session at The Rum Line at Loews Miami Beach, hosted by The Rum Line’s master mixologist Rob Ferrara, who greeted guests with his delicious “Mi Casa es Su Casa” cocktail. Previous Jamming Sessions were in San Miguel de Allende and New York.

Casa Dragones Jamming Sessions invite industry experts to jam together, spontaneously creating one-of-a-kind, signature cocktails using fresh local ingredients. During the Miami Jamming Session, five of Miami’s top mixologists competed against one another for the best Casa Dragones Blanco signature cocktail.

The competition began with Gui from The Broken Shaker, who created the “A Rose By Any Other Name” cocktail inspired by the tasting notes of Casa Dragones Blanco. Next up was Anna from Coyo Taco who crafted the ”Anna Bananna Paleta Rita,” a fun and playful fusion of Casa Dragones Blanco and a lemon popsicle. The second group included Bryan of Bodega who made the“Pico y Picante” and Richard of Prime Fish who made the “Dragon Slayer,” inspired by the hot and humid Miami weather. The last contestant was Isaac of Repour with the winning cocktail,“I’m in Love with A Mojo,” a refreshing mixture of mojito jam and coconut syrup.

The judging panel included Fred Gonzalez of The Miami Herald, Laine Doss of Miami New Times and Gio Gutierrez of ChatChow TV.

These brand new signature cocktails will each be available to taste at the participating bartenders establishments. We’re looking forward to more Casa Dragones Blanco Jamming Sessions in the near future.
