These new interactive platforms serve up the best of the internet’s communal spirit by bringing guests the most up-to-date information on authenticate tequila recipes, happenings, and party planning tips.

“el Jimador has celebration as part of its DNA so we know how to throw a great party,” said Carrie Kleban, global marketing director for Casa Herradura Tequilas. “el Jimador brings something special to a get together. From food and drink recipes to an ultimate planning section, the Web site makes hosting a party as easy as Uno, Dos, Tres.”

Besides being the ultimate party-planning resource, the new el Jimador Web site allows visitors to learn about el Jimador’s 100% agave tequila expressions and other products. Additionally, visitors will learn about the brand through its legendary black & white tapestry, which features icons and symbols that relay the brand’s history and authentic process used to make its real agave tequila. Finally, for those interested in experiencing the brand first-hand, the Web site offers food and drink recipes, including a video on how to make an el Jimador Paloma, one of the most popular drinks in Mexico.

“With the new site, we wanted to ensure it was true to the brand by being friendly, approachable and social. Our brand identity speaks to our authentic Mexican heritage. We wanted to impart to our fans, old and new, through our iconic black and white graphics the story of the Jimadores, the men who harvest the agaves, our history and our process,” said Luis Guy Ricaud, interactive marketing manager for Casa Herradura Tequilas. “We look forward to bringing many more tools and applications to the Web site and Facebook page as we continue our effort to engage current and future el Jimador consumers.”

In addition to the Web site, el Jimador is serving up a new Facebook page -- www.facebook.com/eljimador -- featuring weekly reasons to throw an extraordinary tequila party. Photos, cocktail recipes, news coverage and feature stories will make regular appearances on the page, as will invitations to el Jimador-sponsored events, giving fans a chance to see how the brand puts its responsible party tips into action.

A good party translates well from culture to culture.”
