The world’s most awarded tequila line join forces with Los Angeles Rams. The two heritage brands have key important values in common, including award-winning credentials and historical roots in Mexico and Southern California respectively. Both brands are bringing the best taste in tequila to gamedays.
This is the first time 1800 Tequila establishes a professional football team partnership. As part of the partnership, 1800 Tequila will offer the 1800 LA Rita, a specialty cocktail that can be enjoyed at-home by purchasing a bottle of 1800 Silver and following a version of the recipe on their website. An additional integration includes blocks of LED lighting within the stadium during Rams home games, proudly promoting 1800 Tequila as an official partner.
“As 1800 Tequila‘s first official football partnership, we raise a glass to the Los Angeles Rams and the opening of the new stadium,” says Mike Keyes, President & CEO of Proximo Spirits. ”By becoming the Official Tequila of the team, we mark our long-term investment in the Southern California region, where we both share a passionate fanbase. We are looking forward to celebrating gameday and the Los Angeles Rams winning spirit by upgrading the at-home tailgate experience with 1800 Tequila and the 1800 LA Rita cocktail.”
In addition, “We proudly welcome 1800 Tequila as the Official Tequila Partner of the Los Angeles Rams,” said Jason Griffiths, Rams VP of Partnership Sales. ”Our team values the deep-rooted Mexican heritage and category leadership 1800 Tequila brings to the table and we are excited to welcome them to the Rams family. We look forward to working with 1800 Tequila to create memorable experiences for our fans, bringing the spirit of the game into their homes on gamedays and beyond.
